Farming: How should a nine-acre parcel of tropical, Malaysian land be cultivated to legally yield high profits?

Adam Shand
Uncomfortable with certainty.

The "you need a lot of land to make any money as a farmer" is an American myth which isn't even true in North America.

Look at people like Curtis Stone (making $100,000+ on under an acre of land he doesn't even own) and JM Fortier (making $100,000+ on 1.5 acres). There are many ways of making money from a small parcel of land, you just have to be creative and work hard.

I just visited Signal Hill Eco Farm in Kota Kinabalu. I have no idea if they are making money but they are raising fish, chickens and worms; and growing a mountain of vegetables which they use in the restaurant on the same site and are also delivering food in their neighbourhood. All on 1 acre.

I was told that at the markets in Kota Kinabalu there is only one grower who has spray free produce. Every week people queue up to buy his produce and every week he sells out before everyone else.

What doesn't work on small blocks of land is industrial agriculture/monoculture. Based on debt rates it arguably doesn't work on large blocks either, but that's another story ...


Brett Williams
I grew up on a ranch.
With 9 acres? Coca, opium poppies and/or cannabis. Farming on a small plot can't compete with industrial scale farming. Sorry for the sarcasm, but it's a terribly hard business, even in North America.

If your location is convenient to Kuala Lumpur or another large city, and you have connections with hotels or high end supermarkets, you can see high profit margins with organic produce. Organic is a tough business, however. I'd expect most of the existing organic produce is being brought in from Australia, and the transport costs are the smallest part of the pie.

Reliable income can come from renting the land, but you won't see high profits.

Goats and sheep can thrive in a small area like that, but you're competing with larger, more experienced operators.

Ethical hardwoods could work too, but would require a substantial upfront investment and a lot of experience and connections with the right people in Europe, Asia, and/or North America

I keep an eye on agricultural issues in Qatar, but most farming here is highly subsidized by the government. Your land is likely more fertile and less dependent on desalinated water but you still have to deal with the competition from inside Malaysia, India, Thailand and Australia, all of which have highly developed plantation or mechanized agriculture industries.


Muhammad Syawalfiza
It depend on what type of land, target market is and type of crops. Mix farming would be the my choice. Malaysia company has exploring in highly lucrative farming business now, such in:

Arowana.
Swift bird.
Seeweed.,
Specialized mushroom (tiger milk mushroom).
etc.


Denis Oakley
I've lived in Malaysia for 5 years

If you plant palm oil you should be able to make about RM1000 a month per acre after profits. So about $33k a year.

The problem will be purchasing the land and 9 acres is probably too small to achieve the above returns as you will probably have to get someone else to manage it for you.

But easy money. Why do you think they are cutting down so much forest in Borneo, Indonesia and Malaysia?

I have 2 red palm trees for 6 years already, they don’t seem to grow well but the small trees beside them grow a lot. Can someone advice how to care and grow them into final state of 4-6 tall red palms each?

1. What’s the right way to cut/prune to the final state?
2. Do I need to prune the small trees (suckers?) beside them?
3. Is putting small white stones around the tree harmful to the tree’s growth?

I suggest to remove the pebble stones and clean the the area surrounding the trees. It hinders the growth. The roots need to 'breath'. The sun heat up the stones and can kill the tree eventually.

Apply some growth fertiliser once in two weeks. Once it ok, then once a month. Plant also need nutrients to grow.

Water every morning during hot days.

1. Did you have to cut off some offsprings/bushes around the palm?
2. Do I put fertilizer at the center/middle of the tree's root area, or around the pebble stones area (will remove the pebble stones)

1 No. If you dont like too bushy, trim it.

2. Sprinkle surrounding the tree .....1 table spoon .... too much can also kill the tree


Remove overgrown grass surrounfing the tree regularly.
