And there were times where the price of oil palm dropped until RM50 per 1 tonne(1000kg). Oil palm trees is harder to take care and palm oil fruits are frequently being stolen, by outsider and also insider(worker). One of my family members have oil palm orchard.
Banana is the easiest-to-plant fruit tree and fastest growing and production of fruit. You need very little of fertilizer or not at all. Grade A and Grade B banana is being sold for RM1/kg and RM0.50/kg respectively to supplier. We have a deal with our experienced worker where he will do all the jobs and we will sell the banana, and he earn 50% from the profit.
there's no sure thing in agriculture.

Last Sat survey durian price in KL Chinese area.
D24 from RM10-12/kg
Musang King RM23/kg
Crazy price, I did not buy any to eat. Then, I goto KL Malay area and buy kampung D24 (not pure D24) at RM6/kg. Just to taste only, not yet go all the way.
Therefore, unless you are willing to load and bring it back to KL in 4WD or lorry and sell yourself, the middlemen won't pay high price for it.
But MK is damn nice to eat! more meat than others due to small 'bullet' seed.D24 from RM10-12/kg

It currently belongs to my family members. I did help out during the time when the price of durian was high back then, and few years back when the price dropped tremendously(where the lowest grade of durian is 10cents/kg).
Actually, Bentong's land will be very expensive because many people from KL tends to buy the land there due to the distance factor. Perhaps you can find your land at Raub?
About the labor thingy, you can hire indons to look after your land after you've bought it. The experienced worker working for us(more than 8 years) and is given certificate by Jabatan Pertanian during the visit few months back isn't costing us more than RM1k/month.
But then, you will have to apply for permit.
There's still much for you to learn and same goes to me.
Yes, currently the price is around the range.
That is what my friend is doing, hiring indon worker, but his land too big, one man isn't enough. How big is ur land? Do u plant anything in between to max profit?Actually, Bentong's land will be very expensive because many people from KL tends to buy the land there due to the distance factor.

I was driving back from JB a few months ago, somewhere on the roadside, ppl were planting grass. Have u thought of that? Is selling grass a lucrative biz? Just curious.
