Honeycomb Housing Needs110 Wild Fruit Trees per acre

Grows exceptionally fast i n

Malaysi a

This tree at James Kinghams

Nursery, Tanj ung Malim(h/p : 012-617 4 193) is onl y 18

months old!

James Kingham at his 2 millionpolybag nursery in Tanjung

Malim has collected 700species of wild fruit trees from

the rainforests. Planted in parksfacing Honeycomb houses,

these trees shade the roads and

provide food for birds and smallwildlife, bringing Malaysias

biodiversity back into housing

developments. Honeycombhousing needs 110 four-year-

old fruit trees per acre.A great potential market for

FELDA settler s!

Nursery of the World James Kingham Nursery can produce seedlings in gigantic numbers. Seeds collectedfrom rare rainforest trees or even trees from any part of the world can be successfully propagated under Malaysiasperfect and natural climatic conditions.

Sustainable Tree Production Malaysia is a natural greenhouse and has the skilled people and good ruraland urban infrastructure to grow year after y ear billions of 4-y ear-old nursery trees in polybags, faster and cheaper thanany competitor. Modeled on the Dutch Flow er Industry, Malaysia can rapidly become the nursery tree producer for the

w orld- Greening the Deserts and restoring some of the Great Forests lost during four centuries of Industrialisation.

UPM Visiting Scientist : Mohd Peter Davis h/p : 012 335 1938 e-mail : mohd_peter@hotmail.com

Basic production statistics

for Malaysian Market

4-year old nursery tree production

Production cost RM50

Profit RM30

Selling price RM80Can produce 1200 Trees per acre per year

Nursery Profit RM36,000 per acre/year

compare with

If Palm oil Profit RM1500 per acre/yearNursery trees 24 times more profitable

UPM EconomicFeasibility Study

using 20% of FELDA LandNursery Production capacity

Once established a 10 acre FELDA nurserycould produce 12,000 x 4-year-old trees

per year

@RM80/tree = almost RM1 million

per year

20%of Felda estates

(3%of Plantation Land)

Export value RM31 billion/yr

(equal to Malaysian Palm Oil exports, 2004)

Given a contract could green the desertsof

United Arab Emirates(size of Sabah)

in 5 years

UPM EconomicAnalysis

Compared to Oil Palm

NURSERY TREEScan generate over

20 TIMES MORE PROFIT

per acre of land

Export Potential

of Nursery Trees

Using just 20% of FELDA LA ND

can earn as much as

Malaysias entire exportsof Palm Oil

An end to Rural Poverty FELDA Land Settlers producing 12,000 four-year-old nursery trees per year

on their 10 acre lots instead of Oil Palm can soon become successful businessmen, providing far betterprospects for their children and relatives to run productive family Enterprises. KAMPUNGS can becom emass-production centr es for tropical birds and semi-tame native wildlife. The Market? Urban
