NEED CAPITAL TO START AGRICULTURE BUSINESS AFTER LOSS OF JOB DUE TO COVID-19

BEFORE COVID-19, I WORK IN TOURISM INDUSTRY AND BARELY EARN A LIVING AND FULLY DEPENDS ON COMMISIONS FROM TOURIST. SINCE COVID-19 HITS MALAYSIA, TOURISM INDUSTRY IS NOT LIKE IT USED TO BE. I LOST MY JOB AND SOURCE OF INCOME.

RECENTLY I LEARNED ABOUT FERTIGATION SYSTEM FOR PLANTS SUCH AS CHILLI, CUCUMBER, EGGPLANT AND OTHER VEGETABLE THROUGH YOUTUBE, FACEBOOK & GOOGLE AND I FIND IT VERY REWARDING AS I'VE ALWAYS HAVE PASSION IN GROWING PLANTS.

I HAVE A SMALL LAND BACK IN MY HOMETOWN IN KENINGAU, SABAH THAT IS PERFECT TO IMPLEMENT FERTIGATION SYSTEM FOR PLANTING CHILLI FOR A START. THE TYPE OF CHILLI THAT I AM PLANNING TO PLANT IS KULAI CHILLI 461 WHICH HAVE HIGH DEMAND AND HIGH SELLING PRICE IN THE MARKET. FURTHERMORE, THE LOCATION IS PERFECT FOR THIS PROJECT AS THERE IS WATER SOURCE, LESS THAN 10KM FROM KENINGAU TOWN AND EASY ACCESS FOR TRANSPORTATION.

HERE I PROVIDE MY PROJECT COST THAT I HAVE CALCULATED:

2x FERTIGATION SYSTEM KIT = RM 500.00

5x SOLAR PANEL 20W = RM 500.00

3000x 461 KULAI CHILLI SEED = RM150.00

16" x 16" POLYBAG (500 PCS) = RM300.00

FERTIGATION FERTILIZERS (6 MTHS) = RM500.00

3x 500 GALLON WATER TANK = RM 1,500.00

4x 150 GALLON WATER TANK = RM 500.00

POLYPIPES/FITTINGS = RM 250.00

5x WATER PUMPS (20W) = RM 100.00

10x PLASTIC SEED TRAY = RM 50.00

3x POLY NETTING (2M x 30M) = RM 250.00

MISC. EXPENSES = RM 400.00

TOTAL COST = RM5000.00 (USD $ 1170.00)

I WISH TO START THIS PROJECT AS IT IS TOUGH TO FIND JOB AND EARN A LIVING IN THIS HARD TIMES.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE 🙏

BEST REGARDS,
