Smart Farming & Tech

For farms located in the interior and rural areas of Sarawak—such as Baram, Kapit, Belaga, or upper Sri Aman—accessing reliable grid electricity is often impossible. Running diesel generators for farm irrigation or livestock watering quickly becomes expensive due to fuel transport logistics and ongoing maintenance costs. An Off-Grid Solar Water Pumping System provides a zero-fuel, […]

Agricultural drone spraying has evolved into an operational necessity across Sarawak’s oil palm plantations and major paddy schemes like Batang Lupar and Gedong. Facing persistent labor shortages, steep terrain, and waterlogged soils, local growers are deploying Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to slash application times and cut input costs. Drone vs. Manual Spraying: Operational Comparison Metric […]

Fertigation—delivering liquid nutrients directly to plant roots via drip irrigation—is one of the most profitable ways to cultivate chili (Cili Fertigasi) and eggplant (Terung) in Sarawak. By isolating root zones from soil-borne pathogens and shielding nutrients from heavy monsoon leaching, fertigation delivers significantly higher yields per square foot than traditional planting. Estimated Setup Cost Breakdown […]
