Hi everyone...! Would like to see some guidance from sifu sifu sekalian since you guys are in the field and more familiar with crops and plants..

I'm actually looking for sun dried Cocoa beans for experiementation brewing (just like coffee bean brewing) and i was wondering will the same variant of Cocoa tree coming from different part of malaysia will have diff characteristic (eg.. from sabah maybe the beans are more acidic compare to others?)

currently i'm only sourcing the beans locally... i'm also facing difficulties trying to reach those suppliers as their MOQ is quite large and i only require small amount for my usage. If anyone owns a farm and could sell me about 1-5kg of the cocoa beans... that would be delightful 

Thanks

HI guys, me along with some partners just rented 5.5 acre of agri land in Kuala Kubu Baru. It was an ex-farm land but has overgrown as it was not managed for some time. At the moment we've hired several labourers to do land clearing.

It is perched on a hill slope with very old rubber and durian trees on the slope. Then a 10 feet stream flowing thru the land dividing the hill and a big fish pond which currrently overgrown with white and pink lotuses. Been told there's haruan inside at the moment. Around it are agri land with random trees of papaya, durian, limau kasturi/ purut, banana and jackfruit.

We're planning on free-range chicken, some goat for goat milk, cows(tentative), some home-stay and camping spot. Fish wise still unplan yet. Oh ya, and an area for herbs and spices that has medicinal value like, misai kucing, lemon balm and the likes.  Will upload some pictures when i go down again coming weeks.

BTW anyone knows where can get best quality quality chicks? I've heard of DQ farm in bentong having the best quality organic chicken in the country, but unsure if they sell chicks coz as far as i know, many organic free range chicken farmers are very protective of their organic chicks.

Hope to share info with fellow farmers here. Cheers.

Good idea.  May I know how much is your rent?  How long of lease?  Is it possible to sign long term lease like 10-20 years?

I will only plant the hardwood trees maybe around the border.  Not planting many, and will only cut down when necessary.  Yea, I understand that it is a long term return for the hardwoods, but I watched some TV programs that in the pass, people grow their own trees so that the later generation can use it to build their houses.  Other than teak, what else can I plant?

Will drop by FRIM for a visit.

Yes, commercial culture of teak has high failure rate, simply because not many people realize that teak trees are not acacia or rubber trees.... you can't plant them the same way!

What makes it worse are less than useless extension officers who do not provide all the necessary information to would-be growers... like how teak tree "consciously" avoid contact with each other as they grow, meaning if you plant too high density, they will just be tall and thin. Or how teak roots actually cannot tahan "wet feet" conditions, i.e. too high soil moisture, and their growth will be affected, even leading to death.
