ASAJAYA (Sarawak): Turning discarded coconut shells into chemical free charcoal is an income generating venture for the 6,000 coconut farmers in Asajaya and Sadong Jaya, a rural coastal belt in Samarahan, known as Sarawak’s main coconut producer.
These farmers have merged their efforts through the respective Farmers’ Area Organisations (PPKs), under the management of the State Agriculture Department, to set up Arang Peladang Daya Permai Sdn Bhd with an initial capital of RM200,000 in 1996 for its plant.
