No problem.

Price for surveyor vary. You can get part timer, proper surveyor at different price. I dont know the pricing. Last time i hire to measure 4 acres + about 1k.

Actually going into agriculture is a blackhole into your pocket if you know nothing. Might as well collect rent and thats it. Continue tahan at your tutor job despite being slow.

By sequence...land clearing, land preparation, land touch up and pond, bore water, farm equipment, seedlings, pesticides herbicides fertiliser ect would take away easily 30k cash. Up front.

First, I am a land surveyor. If you really want an accurate boundary, you need to get someone to be on site. If you do not need it, PM me the plan at the back of your title, perhaps I can put in Google for you.

Second, as you are not aware of the area, you may not know the water source. Since the farmer can be there for so many years, I am pretty sure sooner or later you will know the water source. Besides, if the land is near the main road, you can apply for the water utilities to connect to your land.

It would be good if you can look at fruits for the long term and vege as the short term. Harvesting of vege will be fast but need intensive care. Fruits will be good if you have full-time job out there and can only be there during the weekend. If vege, then you may as well get a small hut plus some chickens. You can join the local Persatuan Ladang and connect to the government agencies, they always got some funds to assist new farmers (not sure now though).

All in all, best wishes in your farming life. I know some great engineers become farmer and earn more than his job.

That would be great ! Thanks.

honestly, if I got money, I surely get from your hand...

Is ok. Hardly get a medium sized plot over there. Normally is 1-2 acres or bigger plot for corporations.

Nowadays agents and brokers all goreng for quick bucks. In fact us landlords being squeezed by unethical person. Check on their selling price then you will understand.

I know. Honestly I wish to do start farming. But looking at the price for a piece of land online, I can only dream...

looking to make use of some land to do an orchard (5ha) and side crops (3ha).

is there any recommendation on consultants or experienced contractors who I can discuss further on the planing ? ie type of crops to rotate, planting distance between trees and the layout of the orchard and farm.

can go MARDI and ask.

Ask government. Though it can be frustrating some times. Better than those lurk for quick profit then fail.

Where is land situated, flat land? Water availability and soil type.

thanks, I'm in Sarawak and actually approached the Ministry of Modernization of Agriculture (state) like 10+ years ago to buy dwarf Coconut, Rambutan and Durian Tree ... picked up myself from their nursery and these are supposed to come with good traits. End up fruiting few years later than normal and the fruit basically sucks. Worse than wild type that I sourced myself from kampung area.

I will give MARDI a try this time.

It's a sizeable parcel of land but I'm only planing to use 10ha, some parts undulating, some flat, some hilly situated next to river and small stream running through.

Oh ya any seedlings buy from private. U likely got F2 variant.

If u are full time on farming go with banana. Just make sure banana is something hot selling over there. Get seedlings from Felda or private. Or sugarcane. If you are doing part time then get coconut instead. Over Sarawak im not sure who can supply though. Peninsula we got UP Berhad, the only reliable provider and a long queue to wait. Up to you.

Hi, is here still alive?

anyone here planting Vanilla?

Last i heard is failure. Didn't hear much since then.

Vanilla relies heavily on pollinator like bees. Without bees, you need to do it manually. Madagascar, the biggest exporter of vanilla dont have bees. They do it manually.

ohh, any info why failure?

i see vanilla price very high and Malaysia weather kind suitable for vanilla as well.

from my research, only Mexico have the bee to pollinate naturally, all other places required manually.
