anyone got Melaka cow farm contact number?would like to contact them .

hello hello saudara dan saudari... cough cough

I am back to office and seeing so many passion flooding around this thread, certainly my mind is opened wider as a result of the gathering, I feel like there is unlimited issue to discuss about, the only constrain is time and nando's(they're closing shop). And I feel like never like before the feeling of confidence in agriculture, no doubt, agriculture is business, but you have to think big to do big business for sure.

We hv discussed much during the gathering, but this is limited to the agriculture side, Para have the aquaculture side.

Topics we discussed into is
- potential returns of agriculture(chili as example, a bit exaggerated, will post a more realistic example)
- possible risks in farming
- add value to agri product - processing
- why organic farming?
- imported agri products vs local
- the importance of niche market

Special presentation by KW about
- how does Jatropha fruit looks like
- algae oil(as future energy crop)
- food supply and demand(world/china)

QnA
- What should we do if a farm struck by disease? Is that mean the farm gone forever? (required further discussion)

I am sure I have missed out something, all the main speakers please add in.

Lets quote some words from Para



(edit add: And its because of us!)

Hello ppl,

thank you for taking your time to come and share experience and knowledge.

my summary of the Aquaculture side

- the potentials of aquaculture (Malaysia has a vast market potential with China and Hong Kong the ultimate aim)

- Malaysia's potential (enormous as Vietnam is catching up but we can still compete)

- how to deal with govt officials (bug n pester them)

- where to get info? (for localised info best bet is the Agriculture Ministry in Putrajaya and also the point above)

- concept of aquaculture

- how i am doing aquaculture environmentally? (no waste)

- financial outlay

- how to start small and grow slowly (mgengan would understand more i hope)


--------------------------

My quotes :-

a) Food definitely has a future

b) Malaysia is just in the infant stage as compared to our SEA counter parts

c) In Japan 2 ppl can manage a 5 ac farm with automation which is the future in Malaysia

d) We must strive to be hand-ons in the 1st few years then we can start to manage

e) Ask ask ask ask ask ask questions. After that ACT on them

f) A C T I O N

My lec study master during 1983 at US, he's coursemate 60somthing women,a old couple add v fully automated farm manage 800 cows at farm^^
