Big on figs


By ZIEMAN
Figs during the budding stage.

Fig farmer Ridzuan Abdullah tells ZIEMAN he is on a mission to popularise figs and to show that Malaysia is the only country where you can grow it all year round.

MOST Malaysians have never eaten a fresh fig in their lives, while some have only tasted the dried ones. If only more people were like Ridzuan Abdullah, who is a passionate grower and promoter of the fruit, we would all eat figs all year round.
