Added on April 27, 2008, 2:50 pmyes they are...from my sources, they did an ecra of land in perlis for testing. Several Thai agro officer came down and did a demo. They are now monitoring the paddy plantation from time to time. If u got relatives or frens that is in thailand, maybe they can help u out in looking for the substance that the thai is using on paddy plantation. Thai also got this substance for oil palm tree. I heard that they can control the growth of oil palm..as in height, name the height you want and they can give you the correct substance. damn geng la thais..hehehe..owh well..agro originated from them what..how to beat them

Moina and Daphnia can be found in waste water pond.

Culturing yourself might be a little bit tricky, with trials and error.

aiyu, miss out the meet up. was at China tht time.
Im food estate & agribusiness student, hope can join u guys for the next meet. nice to meet u all ya boss!!

What kind of worm farming you are talking about?

Be it earthworm, mealworm, maggot, etc. The start up could be a high school budget science project to hundreds thousands commercial scale project.

If you ask me about the minimal cost for startup, it can be well below RM1000 or even below RM100.

But before you venture into any project, it is important to identify the market first. Who you gonna sell the worms to?

I am not with my small library now... if u can wait, remind me early next month

Nice to have another bright fella to join the party, please do hang around as we will hv updates from time to time.
