Currently, there is another Selangor vegetable farm claiming to beorganic, one training site in Sarawak and another 2 longhouse farmers beginning the organic switch, one fruit orchard in Negri Sembilan as well as part of a palm estate used for vegetable cultivation. In Kelantan, a federal agency is introducing some organic practices while an attempt at such farming has been made at a Penang site. There is no government support for organic farming although the proposed National Environmental Policy mentions it as an option. No certification system exists and consumers have to rely on individual producer claims.
Public perception is still weak and even confuses it with with hydroponic products.
In the absence of any technical support, it had to develop its own practices to suit the site and soil. Human resources have remained a major problem. The local villagers have shown little enthusiasm and local volunteers have been very scarce. The few foreign volunteers have been useful but most of the time it has been the Farm Coordinator and a couple of female paid helpers running the show. This has been the major constraint on the cultivated area exceeding 1 acre.
