My oil palm farm in Slim River, Perak

I grow this oil palm plants in 2012. I plant the oil farm wit "yankambi" clone obtained from FELDA. The cost per plant that time was RM 8.00 . I spent about RM10,000 to do the planting from felling, drenching, holing , planting and fertilization. This area got a lot of wild boars that's why I have to do drench around the 3-acre farm. The farm is almost jugle and cannot enter. We hired a chain-power excavator to remove all the trees. Now my new farm is almost two years and the oil palm is almost bearing. All tree planted live healthily. Luckily I did not grow rubber, now the price of rubber is very very low almost RM1.00 per kg.

My Farm

I bought a 3-acre farm in 1992 in Teluk Intan. It was cheap then but it was covered with secondary jungle. I planted with fruits like durians, rambutan and dokong. If anyone is interested in agriculture you should be patience because planting trees need time to harvest and enjoy the benefits.You should not expect the outcome to be with within weeks or months.Always be patience.

During that time I had no money, because I want to buy a house and go to Makkah. But I decide strong to buy the land what ever happens. God Bless Me. I owned the land. It is not easy a government servant to buy a piece of land; the salary is quite low.
