yesterday i went to see this guy to share experience and learns something..Sensing this might be a very well and good outing, i drag along my wifey that sleeping after taking her medicine (M.C because of dizziness and headaches, suspect that she had high blood pressure)on the pretext of going out to get some fresh air..
hehe from my place, heads out to jasin, taking out an old lady on the way to jasin at the roadside bus station, well i'm glad that i do that because she told us many great story bout how to feed chicken and some personal info that i rather not publish here well the journey to jasin that supposed to take 15min turns out to take 45mins.
after we dropped the nenek at jasin, proceed to our destination to tangkak, then after a clumsy Q&A with the local regarding the direction, finally managed to see this farm..well it's certainly not the best farm, and really nothing to make my wifey react with joy oh awe! but certainly and definitely there is something to learn here..well after a short tour around the area, this gentleman Mr Thomas and i proceed to our small chit-chat, well almost 4hhrs of it, not like kinda angler's talk( fishing guy know what i means right heheehe) but a very well conversation that rises many issue that we both share..there are some agreement n some disagreement but one topic that interest me n wifey when, he told us stories about his adventure in farming,agri and aquaculture bussines..
He told me how we ought to share the orange we had, to be able to have more and bigger oranges. well the story goes like this..he once owned the busines of frog farming..well it is very lucrative biz i thought then he relates tome how it fell. well apart from many small order that he make the roling of the capital, he owed his business succes to this two largest customer around..the ones that make all the small farm roses to succes..then the rainy seasoned came around..and one of the bigfarm flooded..all the frog leaped ot of the pond of course and so the owner too..sadly the other remaining farm suffered too.why is the first question i ask! came the answer, smaller amount of frog food make the owner of the food shop had to raise the price as the cost of the food dent to her shop is determined by the quantity of order she make, then some small farm fail to cope with the price increased and henced make the food biz fail too..the remaining farm had to deal with with acute shortage of food and rising cost. more and more small farm closed and then the sad story end..although the big farm( the ones from the said two farm earlier) can cope, the buyer is refused to take from the area as it is really difficult to cover if the big farm from the area fail to supply. My new friend Mr. Thomas was also received the the same fate as he had to ceased operation after that.
That why he said, it's far better to share every knowledge we know with honesty and already proven. and let the other learns from our mistake, so the history will not go on..We can learns from the failure of the CACING and LIntah and not to forget the KELI industry where these industry that should have the succeed failed. these are supposed to be good and let say lucrative business but failed because some people became greedy while some people just want to be opportunistic..they tend to do contract farming that reaps the profit as soon as the chances arrives..while the the newcomers should spent more on the cacing itself they were asked to buy all the coantainer and canvas pond at more than market price..and these opportunist tell us how much the price can be while the reality is far more lower..Remeber the canvas keli? they told we can get price for about RM6/kg ex farm..
We have to learn the lesson now or never...we should support each other not to destroy one another in the name of control the market..IT WILL never succeed although been try numerous time by numerous people..the far more better for us to do is to share, helps out and be supportive of each other..Let the success of AYAM Serama breeder be our guide, WHY? they make the MALAYSIA known in the aviary world as the home of these majestic little chicken..by way of helping,promoting and keeping the demands and price stabilize.
these notes are purely intended in goodwills to sharing the info i had for my own's benefit and anybody who like it's...post comment here or email me if u like..I just want to write these in English because it's already long time i since i last write anything in english..Just to practice as my beloved teacher say, practice will me make u perfect or atlease make you not to forget...hehe bkn buang tebiat tau! :-)
