Hi everyone, how is everybody doing?
I'm still very much look up to agriculture/aquaculture business.
Some of you may remember me, I'm still in Feed business and Tilapia farming.

Anything interesting lately?

By the way guys, wanna ask, how hard it is if i want to make my own feed for my ducks? Quite similar nutritional facts with chicken layer feed. I need about 300kg per day =.="

Want to save cost bah.

Not that I know of, unless you are going for certification. You are only producing, not processing food for retail.

On your question about permits and license, it depends on your land title. If it is designated as agriculture with no restrictions, you can do any sort of agriculture as long as it isn't illegal. Some land titles may have restrictions, eg. only for oil palm/rubber.

However, that being said, you might need to be aware about how you are going to dump the aquaculture waste. I am guessing you're doing aquaponics? Even with aquaponics, you will have some level of excess waste that you will need to deal with. If your only solution is dumping it away, then check if an Environment Impact Assessment report will be necessary for your scale of production. Large aquaculture farms, especially those dealing with shrimp/seafish etc., require an EIA report plus permit to operate.
Now as for using residential land for this kind of activity... technically you cannot do it. Residential land/properties have restrictions on the kind of activities allowed on it, which does not included farming or the rearing of animals for profit purposes. Think about swiflet farming and the usage of shophouses for this business... even those types of properties cannot rear animals for "farming" purpose, what more residential properties?

That being said, if you are discreet, usually the authorities buat tak tahu and will close one eye lar... as long as your neighbours do not complain.

Case in point, one of the bigger sifus in aquaculture actually operates his business out from his home in Sepang. And his house is located within a housing estate. The land on his property is huge, so he decided to put it to good use by turning most of it into an integrated aquaculture rearing system for freshwater fish, sea fish, mud crabs, flower crabs and some other experiments he is trying. Now, the local authorities did in fact come to "spotcheck" his place, on the pretext that he misused a residential property. But since he properly treats and disposes his fish waste, and the system he uses is concealed and does not stink up the whole taman, plus there is no noise pollution from his equipment, they actually allowed him to continue operation there. The only thing they asked him to do is get a proper business license and permits lar.

First of all, you have definitely taken a bold step, so best of luck to you! We all hope to hear great news from you in the future.

I'm not sure which greenhouse you are referring to, as there are quite a few of them about in Sepang. Most of them, however, employ fertigation systems and are on government or korperasi peladang land. The aquaculture sifu's home is located within the taman at the entrance road to AVANI Sepang Goldcoast.
Speaking of which, the nearby Banghuris and Bangkong villages (in Sg Pelek town) are is designated as a permanent agriculture park. There are a lot of empty plots there, which can be rented from the Department of Agriculture. There is an office there, so if anyone is interested, might want to try your luck there. Electric supply is available at the site itself.

Alternatively, there are a lot of empty SMI factories nearby too. Some are empty, whereas a few are being used for kerepek production. One could try asking the village headman for permission to set up some kind of production facility there too.

Further away towards the beach at AVANI Sepang Goldcoast, there are a few indoor aquaculture production centres. One of them is up for sale or rent, can't recall properly. They used to produce Jade Perch in that unit, but due to low demand for the fish, they eventually shuttered.

Actually, if you just ask around the area, you will find quite a lot of land for rent or sale.
As for Seremban area.... that one Paraoptical may be more familiar lar. You could try asking him and see.
