Henti Tanam Betik, Timun & Melon di Perak
| Ladang Betik Perak Diserang Penyakit |
IPOH, 22 Mac 2010 (Bernama) -- Pengusaha tanamam betik di Perak akan diminta memusnahkan tanaman mereka berikutan serangan penyakit mati rosot yang kini menular di hampir kesemua ladang betik seluruh Perak. Ketua Penolong Pengarah Bahagian Pelindungan Tanaman dan Kuarantin Tumbuhan Jabatan Pertanian Perak Norsiyenti Othman berkata notis arahan itu akan dikeluarkan minggu ini kepada semua pengusaha ladang betik yang dijangkiti penyakit itu. Beliau berkata semua pengusaha yang menerima notis berkenaan perlu memusnahkan tanaman dalam tempoh lima minggu. "Tindakan segera perlu diambil bagi membendung jangkitan penyakit berkenaan memandangkan Perak adalah pengeluar utama betik negara dan perebakannya boleh mengancam industri tanaman betik negara," katanya pada sidang akhbar di sini Isnin. Beliau memberi amaran bahawa pengusaha yang enggan memberi kerjasama memusnahkan tumbuhan mereka boleh dikenakan denda maksimum RM10,000 mengikut Akta Kuarantin Tumbuhan 1976. Penyakit mati rosot adalah penyakit yang diwartakan sebagai berbahaya mengikut akta berkenaan. Norsiyenti berkata sehingga kini hanya daerah Hulu Perak didapati bebas daripada serangan penyakit berkenaan dan sebanyak 188.77 hektar atau 82.6 peratus daripada keluasan keseluruhan 228.55 hektar ladang betik di Perak telah diserang penyakit itu. Mengenai tindakan yang perlu diambil oleh pengusaha yang menerima notis, beliau berkata dua cara berkesan ialah menimbuskan tumbuhan yang dimusnahkan ke dalam lubang atau membakarnya. Beliau berkata pengusaha juga dinasihat supaya tidak menanam tumbuhan daripada keluarga labu seperti tembikai, timun dan labu air sebagai tanaman gantian kerana ia boleh menjadi perumah kepada bakteria yang menjadi punca serangan mati rosot. Penyakit mati rosot mulai dikesan di Batu Pahat, Johor pada tahun 2003 sebelum merebak ke Batang Padang, Perak pada 2004 dan serangan besar-besaran penyakit itu yang berlaku pada 2008 telah menjejaskan teruk industri betik negara. -- BERNAMA rujukan lanjut pada web rasmi MOA (klik SINI) |

Japanese-san, Denwa Kudasai...!!!
By TOMOKO A. HOSAKA. TOKYO (AP) — The latest victim of Japan's recession is round, sweet and famous for being shockingly expensive.
The first two Yubari melons of the season were auctioned Friday in northern Japan and fetched 500,000 yen ($5,200). Pricey? Certainly. But it's practically a steal if you consider last year's winning bid — a record 2.5 million yen, or about $26,000. In 2007 they sold for 2 million yen.
It appears the world's swankiest melon is in a major deflationary slump.
Weighing about eight pounds, the premium cantaloupes were part of the season's initial harvest at Sapporo Central Wholesale Market. Every year buyers flock to the market for a shot at the prestige of winning the very first melons of the year.
The orange-fleshed melons are grown only in the city of Yubari, a small town on the northern island of Hokkaido. Valued for their perfect proportions and taste, they are typically given as gifts by Japanese during the summer.
The other melons at the first auction aren't quite as expensive, but even those tumbled in price this year. The average price Friday of 84 melons was about $400, down from $630 last year, according to the Sankei newspaper.
Department stores and high-end retailers sell the fruit to the public for $50 to $100, though prices can run much higher depending on quality.
Yubari official Kaoru Hirano says the dramatic drop in this year's winning bid is actually good for the financially strapped city, which needs its melon industry to buck the recession.
"I think last year was highly unusual," Hirano said. "Such a high price gave the melons a bit of an image problem. Everyone began to think that they were just too expensive, and this hurt the average retailer."

For info, Dunia Dagang main business is in growing/planting and giving advice/consultation on fertigation project/program and to supply/set up items/system/greenhouse. In fertigation program, our focus mainly on non-organic fertigation ie. chemical pesticide/fertilizer/hormone etc. But, we are also committed to organic farming (due to increase in price for similar outputs - melon, brinjal, chilli etc).
Harga ladang Rock Melon @ Malaysia ranging from RM3.00 - RM4.50 per kilo depending on quality. But if you sell direct (on your own) to end-customer, the price may reach RM5-RM6 per kilo.
Try visit the nearest hypermart especially Cold Storage, search for rock melon...
