Grower proves grape vines can thrive in Malaysia's climate


TUMPAT, 6 Okt -- Wan Yusoff Abdul Rahmat, 40, (kanan) bersama keluarga melihat tanaman anggur yang diusahakan di sekeliling rumah ketika ditemui Bernama di Kampung Belukar, Wakaf Bharu di sini. Tanggapan masyarakat yang mendakwa buah anggur yang dihasilkan di kawasan beriklim tropika agak masam adalah tidak benar kerana buah anggur di kebunnya sangat manis dan hampir setanding dengan buah anggur yang dihasilkan di negara luar. Wan Yusoff kini telah menanam lebih 100 pokok anggur yang mampu mengeluarkan hasil seberat 30 kilogram iaitu sekitar 500 hingga 700 gram setangkai di kebun miliknya seluas 0.4 hektar. --fotoBERNAMA (2024) HAK CIPTA TERPELIHARA
