The farm has
captured the attention of the Prime Minister who is keen
to see for himself the progress of the "golden valley".
The starfruit farm has about 17,000 trees with the
favourite B10 type having an internal rate of return (IRR)
of 63 percent a year for every invested ringgit and this
is the highest percentage returns compared with other
fruits there.
Besides
the starfruit, the papaya is among the largest
cultivated fruit with a sizeable area on a 85-ha farm
with about 135,000 trees. This was followed by pineapple
and honey lemon, each 42 percent, jackfruit 27 percent,
guava 25 percent and mango 20 percent. |
