Those few farm that I observed, yes very high density, maybe 5 to 8 feet, yes, super thin. Even on slope.

But then how do they survive in the wild?

So is tree farming a good idea?  Compared to fruits, it should be less work?  But takes 10+ years to see return.

Would it be better to grow many species in the plot of land to simulate a forest?

My brother has land which he is not using.  i am thinking if no one wanna use it for organic farming, I can start growing some trees.  I heard there are people stealing trees too.  My idea is to simulate a forest, and let it be for 10+ years.

if i wanted to start a agriculture business on fish farming and vegetables farming do i need to apply any vaccine or health check before i start? any permit i need to apply?

thanks, wish to ask another question on land title issue, can I grow my fish in residential land? Or is that any restriction of doing this? Is that any problem i will face in future? planning to rent a residential land to grow fish and plant fish tank will be inside the house and vegetables will be outside.

Joined this thread in hopes of getting help solving problems i face at work and also to help out if someone has a similar problem and also to b**** about work, haha. What a long-winded first post. Lol. Thanks all for your time to read/reply to my post. Cheers!!  

Hi Mr farmer. Not a good idea for a visit. We are still building and renovating a lot and the place is in a mess. Maybe in a few months should be alright. Our place is such a mess now, not worth a visit yet.

Can i ask? What type of farm is ur fren intending to do? Concrete, poly tanks or earthen ponds?
If ur fren really wants a visit to a farm, i know of a farm in rawang doing tilapia which is one of the biggest players, i think. And they are also distributors for CP(starfeed). I think that is a better choice for a visit for ur fren. Our system also isnt that good yet and needs a lot of improvement. Maybe i can post up some pictures later so your fren can have an idea of how it looks like?

That farm of Rawang is the biggest player in Tilapia farming and leading distributor for CP Feed. However, I don't think they allow outsider to visit their farms unless you know the bosses personally. They should be accorded with utmost respect in Tilapia industry as they are one of the largest supplier in Tilapia. Or else the price would be much much higher without their supply. They have sacraficed much for the industry. However, I do advise you to be prudent in everything you see and plan to do.

Also don't forget to ask what's at the bottom of their pond, pond bottom is extremely important for Tilapia farming success. Get the idea of it, there are several ways to achieve the objective as well. The objectives are the same, technique may be different.

There are many who aspire to do well in Tilapia farming, many dreams and ambitions, way too many pretenders, but in the end too few survived, let alone succeed. I can say 9.5/10 farms are not profitable. Yes, we survived and succeeded after much hardship, but the major credit should go to my partner in this business.

I should not be saying this as I'm in this business and it's related supply chain, I should be much promoting the hype and encourage more people into this business. Then again, it's always my principles to be truly "Brutally Honest".
Also fact it that this is a very lucrative business because of the price, that also because of dwindling supplies and rising costs.

Besides sufficient capital, You need :
1) Very good attitude
2) Extreme patience and perseverance
3) Very good observation
4) High Curiosity and willingness to experiment to verify the answers rather than just blindly following. Every farms/Locations have different need and problems.
5) Very good man-management skills unless you are 100% hands on. I too believe that being a business owner, you should hands on, everything your labor is doing. Your worker would not do much the thinking part for you, so you need to be hands on in the beginning.

Be very prepared. and make the big money. Succeed where most fail will definitely make you big money. This business is not for everyone, not as easy as it seems in the beginning. It will be relaxing and rewarding in the end.

I can't request any of my customers' farm for visit by outsider as it would not be an appropriate and difficult question for them. They will find it difficult to reject my request if I do ask.

However, I can allow visit to my own farm.

Yo, wouldn't say I am successful, yet. Challenges occur at different stages of the planting. So far, we only have some small pest and disease issues. And because we are in a partnership, we do bound to have some disagreements. But nothing serious so far.

We source it from a nearby pond.

Hi, i am interested in venturing into agri business. but i don't have a lot of capital to start with.. any advice/guidance from all the friends here ? =)

I have 4 plots of agriculture land between 55000 to 60000 sq ft each.

Need some advice, planning to do some plantation but dunno what and where to start with.

Hope someone can enlighten me.

Thank you

May I know what are the fruit trees that I can plant along the river banks?  I would like to use some plants to protect the river banks from water current.

Are coconut trees OK?  Sugar Cane?  Banana?

Where to get vertiver grass?

Also, what can I plant along river bank?  If not for protection of soil.  Currently, the river bank is full of plants that look like sugar cane.  Does that mean, sugar cane is well suited as well?  Many wild banana trees too.

HI All sifus,

I am planning to rent this piece of land from my fren's father.
Currently planted cempedak & durian, please find the attached photo which is self-explanatory.
Do you think i still can utilise the remaining space for something else? if yes, what do you suggesting please?
