hey guys...

Currently i m doing my project in my Uni...
i would like to ask does anyone has any contacts about selling vermicompost's fertilizer??

I nid contacts and would like to purchase some fertilizer for my project..

Currently i m at Serdang...

Thankz..

Ahh, its been a while.

Time flies like arrow, and fruit flies like banana.

Since our last leader who encouraging people to get into Pertanian. Our current PM has a new vision related to national unity.

But nonetheless whatever the leader say, agriculture is still the backbone of a country. Give some correct effort and you will surely earn your sweet harvest.

Although it involved open air under the sun hard work, it might not suit all the city and office dweller, but then, nowadays, a modern farm is a clean and comfortable place to work in. A greenhouse hydroponic farm don't even need to deal a lot with dirt, a mushroom hut is suitable to girl who hates sun, etc. Its like renovating a house, its up to how you would like to do it, and ultimately being able to be profitable, of course.

Talapia very fast can harvest, some 6 months can reach market size, so consider easier and quicker return.

And now they farming those 99.97% male talapia fish, can grow even faster and even size.

Not really into those decorative thing like goldfish or flower...

I am actually half a TS here, being a little distracted lately, anyhow you all are welcomed to ask things here.

But then, parapara is the one know better in aquaculture.

How is the worm market now? Still can fetch RM100/kg? I seen some calling price for RM50.

How is your cow feces well prepared? Dried? Composted? EM?

I went to a vermiculture course and this is their contact:
Fairos Agro Resources Sdn Bhd
03-3122 6041
It is located somewhere in Klang, if it is too far for you I think he has a student who built a worm farm in Kajang and can give you the contact.

Their ANC worm casting seem really even in quality and attractive texture, not those home grown worm compost that lack of care and quality.

I got a 1kg bag for RM3 for my little garden, it "activated" my cactus for a frenzy grow. Perhaps you can nego for less if take more.

Thx Rexis.. i'll try that..

Where can I buy fruit flies culture (Drosophila melanogaster) in Puchong area ? UPM ?

Interesting, why would you need fruit flies for? Been done a bit of googling here, first time heard of it. What are you feeding them to? Why not use mealworms or crickets?

And why not you try to culture some DIY? Sound easy enough, all you need is a banana.

Its kinda late reply but anyway... IMHO

You are from agrotechnology background, you should know better then me about the agriculture-related companies if you are planning to climb the employee ladder. Be it plantations, fertilizer producer, cloning lab, R&D companies, etc, I am sure there is sufficient opportunities there for ya.

But then, you plan to work things out for yourself and wanted to start something out of your knowledge, then we are looking into setting up your own business. You must know very well what you are doing and have a clear plan in mind.

hi all,

i am intrested in this aqua business (breeding fish & selling it) because of my boy..he wants to start up a business for this but he seemed to be a little naive like telling me he wants to leave his day job, buy a land and start rearing fishes.. but he doesnt have the money to do it

i am really worried because he has NEVER setup a farm before, he and his friend from s'pore is really into this but from the way i see it, they want to buy the land 1st, that will already costs them a bomb then they wanna build their own house to rear the fish, pull the water and electricity from dunno where cause apparently the place they plan to build the farm is very very outskirt. Therefore there isnt any electricity or water there..

i jz wanna know what are the returns for this business? like as in is it worth doing and how can a newbie (never done any business before, never did the aquaculture business before)

he always tells me that he wants to breed fish for food like talapia and that the returns are this good and that good.. jz wonder if he's lying to me o nt..


Sorry ah if i seem a bit dumb.. i admit i am a little blurr on this business.. i am glad someone actually started a threat on this.. at least i can also advice him..

I must admit that the price you are offering is fair enough. Maybe not as cheap as RM50, or maybe some quality issue there, but prices surely came down quite a bit since it started.

Hi happy_gal,
Your concern is understandable. Doing business is all about getting out of the comfort zone and take risk with potentially high returns. And besides all the values and morals about being a successful businessman such as enthusiasm, honesty, hardworking, never give up, leadership, etc etc...

For first timers, it is recommended to find someone who has experience(of course, and willing to share) as partner, and always get your hands dirty in the field so you could master all the details. Otherwise, he has to be very sure about all the technical details as well as the connections: how do you get things in or out of your farm, where to get baby fish, where to buy their food, where do you sell them, etc.

While mixing with enthusiastic friends helps keep your interest high, it is also important to take one or two training course or do some farm visiting to get an idea about a fish farm. It looks nice on paper and dinner table, you might hate the water, dirt and sunshine.

We are talking about hundreds of thousands of investment here, if not millions, is his friend gonna fork out so much? Otherwise how is he plan to source his financial from? You?

Talapia demand is high. And fish farm is gotta be the trend as wild fish source is dwindling fast. So as a fast growing, omnivorous, easy to raise, large size fish like Talapia is considered fast and high return because you feed them with plant source protein feed(cheap), and grow fast.

How profitable is it is basically how experience you are in it, and how do you do it. Do you rely entirely on commercial fish feed? Or do you substitute some with agri by products like fermented rice bran? Tofu waste etc etc.

Of course, farming is not a get rich quick scheme, there gonna be hard times for the first few months or even first few years before the profitable harvest came in and make the business sustainable. Although the sky is the limit, but we are usually reaching it one step at a time, on a firm foundation.

Lastly, one must be able to accept failure, and believe in self. Keep it on, and you will success some day.
