Striking big with guavas

Sweet return: Abdul Halim checking the quality of a guava at his farm in Kampung Tengah, Pulau Gadong in Melaka. — Bernama

MELAKA: After facing difficulties in selling vegetables and losing thousands of ringgit each day following the movement control order last year, Abdul Halim Abdullah decided to turn to Lohan guava (GU16) farming.

Abdul Halim, 45, who has been cultivating vegetables such as chillies and eggplants for the past 13 years, said he made the decision after income from his telecommunications contractor job also suffered during the MCO period.
