Test plots offer a stepping stone for expansion

TO prove the effectiveness of the soil booster, Majoda started a grape farm in Jeram, Selangor early last year. “We decided to go for grape instead of normal crops because it’s a high value crop,” said Sheron. 

“Unfortunately, after our first fruiting, we had a problem of flooding caused by the construction of a road nearby. We lost about 1,000 vines, and it took quite a while to get the remaining plants back into good condition. We have missed out on two harvests, but a small area that was not affected by the flood will produce harvest this Dec/Jan.”
