Venture into organic farming

Thursday Sep 4, 2008

Ong Kung Wai the renowned national organic consultant, felt that the abundance of fertile land and coupled with the hot and humid weather all year round would ensure the success of organic farming in the state. Farmers and livestock breeder must be brave to venture into organic farming in view of the good market potential locally and globally.
Ong Kung Wai said “if you are a good organic farmer to begin with, the switch over will be quicker and you can match productivity as can be seen in the Cameron Highlands where the farmers are making good money.”
Ong also said organic farming was more on intensive farming technology where the farmers needed to know a little bit more about the soil, weather, insect pests, dynamics and nutrient science. Ong is a board member of International Federation of Organic Movement or IFOAM and chairperson of Organic Alliance Movement or OAM. He said the awareness on using organic products was on the increase among Malaysians who insisted on eating food free of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
He said “this can be seen in Peninsular Malaysia especially in the bigger towns and cities where many supermarkets allocate spaces for organic products and the market for them is quite good.” He advised the consumers to check the origin and quality of the products to avoid buying fake products.
The four principles of organic farming were health, ecology, fairness and care. The benefits of organic farming were improved crop and animal health and better nature resource management, lower use of non-renewable resources, safer food and safer working environment.
