Former manufacturing engineer Jerome Ragavan moved in farming after he was retrenched.

Jerome Ragavan was never into gardening but the idea of farming somehow intrigued him. It was not the most likely option for the engineer who was in manufacturing for over 30 years, till he was retrenched when the semiconductor plant he pioneered in Shah Alam, Selangor, closed down in 2014. But these days, the former managing director is fully occupied with how plants grow and is fascinated with farming technologies.

“I went into training initially; it seemed like a logical career progression. But training didn’t ignite anything in me.
