Hi dudes...

I've been stalking this thread for quite sometime and made up my mind to really make agri a part of my life smile.gif

Shroom cultivation was always the one thing i wanted to do... So as a start i tried cultivating abalone mycelium in a glass bottle.. My first attempt is a total disaster... Well... How can we ever succeed if we dont make mistakes... biggrin.gif

Giving that i have totally zero exposure to agri, i was thinkin.. It is avisable for me to start off with cash crops such as chilli and shrooms to give me the experience and cashflow? As i wanted to commit fulltime to it as this is wat i really desire for! laugh.gif

Yeap... As far as i observe, shroom wasnt really a popular popular food in mly.. Mainly for export only.. So i was wondering do i need to back it up by growing crops like chilli or etc etc to get the cash coming in first for current sustainability?

What would you guys do/plant as your first venture to agri? rclxms.gif

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 biggrin.gif

Thanks

I believe that plants even of the same variety shall taste differently when planted in different location. Weather, water, soil, are some of the factors affecting it.

I guess it happens to other crops as well... and i believe it also explains why why certain fruit carries a hint of flavor from other fruit.. (not sure it is only me or not thou...)

However, i've manage to get some dried cocoa bean from my friend that is still studying in indonesia.. no luck sourcing from locals thou... blink.gif
