29yo M’sian Man Earns Nearly RM400K Monthly By Planting Various Vegetables​

Farming hustle is real!

In a world where entrepreneurship often takes centre stage, the agricultural sector is proving to be a goldmine for those willing to embrace innovation and hard work.​

One such success story is that of Chung Chia Khang, a 29-year-old farmer from Kelantan, who has defied the odds and turned a modest beginning into a flourishing business.

With monthly earnings reaching RM400,000, Chung’s journey from a small backyard garden to a sprawling 12-hectare vegetable farm is nothing short of inspirational.

From Small Beginnings to a Thriving Business​

What began with a modest government grant of RM10,000 and 1,000 chilli plants has transformed into a remarkable 12-hectare vegetable farm in Lojing Highlands, Gua Musang.

Chung, affectionately known as Ah Kai, now ships an astonishing 40 to 70 tonnes of premium vegetables each month, including cabbage, corn, tomatoes, and various leafy greens.

Seizing the Opportunity​

The timing couldn’t be better; in recent years, vegetable prices have soared by more than 50% compared to two years ago.

Most of Chung’s produce finds its way to Singapore through wholesalers in Cameron Highlands, showcasing the potential of modern farming techniques like fertigation, which has allowed him to harvest nearly one tonne of cabbage daily from just 1.2 hectares of land.

According to TRP, his journey began after he completed secondary school and pursued an agricultural course sponsored by the Rubber Industry Smallholders Development Authority (RISDA).

Thanks to a modest RM10,000 grant from RISDA’s Additional Economic Activities program, Chung was able to kickstart his farming venture.

Challenging Stereotypes in Agriculture​

His success is a powerful testament to the opportunities available in agriculture today.

Chung’s story challenges the stereotype that farming is an unprofitable career choice for young people.

“Young people have many opportunities if they’re motivated because farming is now a viable business and career,” he emphasises.

Facing Industry Challenges​

However, even triumphs like Chung’s face challenges.

The agricultural sector is plagued by unpredictable market prices that can reduce profits to mere pennies overnight.

Additionally, finding affordable farmland is becoming increasingly difficult in a rapidly developing landscape, and attracting reliable labour remains a constant hurdle, as many young locals shy away from agricultural work.

The environmental impact adds further complexity to the picture, especially in regions like Cameron Highlands, where aggressive farming practices over the decades have left lasting scars on the land.

Chung Chia Khang’s inspiring journey is a great example for young farmers and entrepreneurs. It shows that with hard work and creativity, agriculture can be more than just a way to make a living—it can be a successful business.
