Yes. How abt u?

Actually i also looking for forum that mainly discuss abt farming and agriculture

Anyone interested in an indòor farm project? Hydro with uv and no ... not bitcoin

yup. me too. what type of farming and plants are you looking into at the moment? interesting.

I have land inside of which got some abandoned goat's shelter, looking forward to add few goats in. There are other plants and trees mainly durian, plan to revive those trees and plant new ones, I'm looking for information likr how and way to manage n maintain those trees from fertilizer to pesticides etc..

How abt u?

wow those would be a massive undertaking involving big tress . for me, just looking into simpler things like growing veges and herbs.

join facebook group malaysia gardener or singapore gardener.

I grow vege and microgreen at home for sale and own consume.

Yesterday receive a call from a Singaporean plan to invest in hydroponic farming, ask me to work with them.

me

Self consumption or u plan to sell?

Nowadays farmers prefer fertigation method to grow vedges

i self interest only (for future knowledge). cos at the moment i dunno who to sell it too hahaha.
vertical wall hydroponic system for leafy veges.
and also will try microgreens (indoors, in trays) once i get some seeds.

regarding this, open land+fertigation, still not the most profitable way if wanna make money from vege.
vertical hydroponic is the way especially in the current unpredictable weather conditions. i did some study into a family member project last year. so had some figures to compare with other systems.
anyway, u wanna come here help me tanam vege or not?

I'm interested if there's even a thread on gardening.

Interested in trying to grow vegies for self consumption.

Unfortunately I dun hv a green thumb.

Really kh because here they plant chillies tomatoes etc in large scale using fertigation, not sure if it's profitable thou. I'm not into vedge atm, i do grow them but only for self consumption . now i try to focus on with what i currently have, try to rejuvenate my durian trees and see how that goes.

ah chillies and tomatoes yah. those can do fertigation, but price fluctuates alot.

i was just refering more growning to leafy greens when talking about growing vege.

sell to your neighborhood, friend, colleague or relative. I do that

i utilized full space for my own consumption.. so far i do have this around my house

salad, asparagus, broccoli, chili, pandan, kunyit, mint, mango, lychee, pokok kari, timun jemun, ulam raja, limau purut, guava, kacang botor,

now my house full, just consume it whenever i like
most of it through the seed, some from grafting

now, waiting for the expensive one.. brussel sprout to be live

just say hi to me this morning

We can make this thread our forum, when it gets big enough, then consider start a separate forum site

A few days ago, bought kangkong for cooking. Cut off the bottom part with the roots, cook the top part. Then put the roots into a bowl of water. This morning, saw some new roots growing, put the whole lot into a pot of soil. Let's see how it goes ..
(I don't have land.)

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?

Organic food products command better prices, how to grow these?
What are the requirements for organic certification?

Who has a piece of land in KL, Selangor and want to let me grow mushrooms in one small area, we can share the profits?

Anyone knows whether this expo "MAHA 2018 – Malaysia Agriculture, Horticulture & Agro-tourism Show" will be held, now that there is a change of Minister?

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.

how to make a nice farming and producing quality output in the balcony?

and must avoid ants making home in the soil.

I planted cherry tomatoes in my balcony. Now starting capsicum

anyone got land for farming?

You can buy the natural pesticide

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.

Yes i got land for agriculture farming, size 5 acres in Jenderak, Temerloh, Pahang.
its now berhutan and open for ppl to rent.... got river nearby, 8 mins from main road.

Anybody got recommend for local heirloom seeds seller? I found Mango Garden on Shp and Lzd, got a lot of selection, looks good - but I'm wondering if got any others?

Yes, it means the genetics is followed the same line for a long time... no cross-pollinate or modified...

kind of like purebred if talking about dogs

Well a friend bought flower seeds from Mango Garden. The flowers colours bloomed different from advertised. Meaning not heirloom? Cross pollinated or hybrid already?

This post has been edited by miaopurr: Nov 15 2021, 10:21 AM

Could be cross polinate adi... or mango packed the wrong seed inside lol

I usually buy seeds from Wellgrow Seeds. Or any shopee preferred sellers selling Green World or Green Eagle seeds
