📝📍 Update 2 (22-28 April 2024)

Location: PPIPT, Kangar & Kodiang, Kedah.
Content: The discussion and visiting the farm throughout a week.

Activity 1 - Discussion about the chosen agro-business

Group participants discuss with the lecturer the concept of a new business owner changes. Previously, the selection was limited to mushroom manufacturers, but was later expanded to include melon fruit producers in Kodiang, Kedah. We could not find the exact place for the mushroom during our first attempt to that place. So, our group decided to change from mushroom to the rockmelon farming. The changes was agreed upon by the entire group and confirmed by the lecturer.

Activity 2 - Contact with the rockmelon business owner

Communicate with the melon fruit business owners to get permission to carry out the SULAM project within the melon fruit category of agriculture. The business owner has given the group permission to proceed with and carry out the project on his farm. Along with the business owner at his farm, group members have also scheduled the first meeting date.

Activity 3 - Listing the questions for the interview with the business owner

Using the guidelines from the report rubric, the lecturer offers some questions that can be given to the business owners. Before meeting and conducting an interview with the business owner, the group members created a list of questions. After the first interview, group members begin revising the outline report in order to write a comprehensive report. We list down the question covering the topics of marketing methods, type of agro-business he is currently doing, the timeline of his business from the starting and many more.

Activity 4 - First meet with rockmelon business owner

The group members visited the business owner's agricultural location and met him for the first interview. The first interview went well, despite the fact that the business owner could only be interviewed for a short while because of his schedule constraints. Besides, he had just completed looking after to the garden. Group members went to the melon farm area with Mr. Haziq in order to conduct a preliminary study of the farm's area. This is so because the farm's location has a direct impact on the sales and profit the business owner will make. The melons on the field are still young and small at this point. Additionally, Mr. Haziq shared some information on the growth of his plant, particularly from the beginning of the decision to operate this melon fruit plant. The group members have taken some pictures to be used as a record of the findings from the survey and the first interview at the melon farm. Following this initial meeting, Mr. Haziq gave the group members an overview of the downstream crops he grows, kailan and collard greens. He improves his income through downstream crops in addition to concentrating on his primary source of income, which comes from melons. But currently, melons are his primary source of income.

Activity 1 - Choosing the agro-business

The selection of small business owners from cultivating agricultural crops. We concentrate on looking for fruit and vegetable growing areas in the Perlis state. Everyone in the group decided that the first suggestion for the project's primary focus is the cultivation of mushrooms. In the event that the initial idea is turned down, group members also supply some other details about business owners, farmers, and producers of fruits and vegetables, such as addresses, phone numbers, and the kind of planting that will be done. Apart from mushroom cultivation, our group members are also looking for some more farmers in this area as a backup for our course work and during the search we have managed to find 5 more small business owners who are related to the theme we have acquired.

Activity 2 - Create a page for E-Logbook

The creation of a page that serves as an electronic logbook to provide updates on all the developments and initiatives that have been completed. In accordance with the class group's categorization, the page is called 21F08. The most recent details and information regarding the project will be provided via e-logbook of this FB page.

Activity 3- choose a date and time to site visit

During the discussion, our group discussed choosing a suitable date and time to visit the mushroom growing area. The selection of the date and time of this visit will be done when all members have free time and after obtaining the permission of the owner of the plant to give permission to make the visit. One of our group, Salmilah, was assigned to contact the owner of the mushroom farm to obtain permission to visit.

Challenge:
Difficulty finding small business owner especially on google because the number of business owner available on the internet is very limited and have to compete with peers to choose traders because each team member must have a different business owner.
