Crop Chili Purpose of the project The purpose of the project is for the fresh production Objectives To produce

the good quality and high yield of chili fresh prduction for the local consumption. Introduction Chilli (Capsicum annum) is a fruit type vegetable under Solanaceae Family and popular in Malaysian Cuisene and hot. Chilli was originated from Mexico and South America but adopted to Malaysian Tropical Climate many decade ago. About 14,560 hectare of chilli was grown in Malaysia annually in major producing state such as Johor, Perak and Kelantan in Commercial Scale. Chili was suitable in temperature from 20-30 Celcius with rainfall between 1,500 mm - 2,000 mm monthly and it can adapt to pH between 5.5 - 6.8 on mineral soil, peat or Bris Soil (With proper irrigation syatem). Red Chilli or Green Chilli are the product depend on harvesting period and different market needs. Study shows that Malaysian took 33,000 ton/year of fresh chilli anually whereby the local production around 23,000 tan/year. Malaysia also import chilli from Thailand (Cili Padi Variety) about 5,000 kg daily through Bukit Kayu Hitam Border. Chilli rich with nutrient content and reported that every 100 gm chilli contain Karotena Beta (2,730 microgram), Posforus (80 mg), Niacin (0.7 mg), Vitamin B1, B2, C and others. Farmers grows this variety commercially as monocrop and some as mixed crop with water melon.

Post harvest handling Marketing plan Fnancial plan This financial analysis was taken into account the cost involved as well as the return (yield) forecasted from this project which is 30,000 of chili plant that using fertigation system in open field area. The forecasting of production cost for chili Kulai/ha/season is as follow: Land area: 1 ha Planting distance: 0.6mx0.6m Total plant: 30,000 plants Planting period: 6 months A) Gross profit 1 plants could produce about 2.5kg of yield. So, 2.5kg x 30,000 kg = 75,000 kg At RM 5/kg = RM375,000 At RM 7/kg = RM525,000 At RM 8/kg = RM600,000 B) Start-up cost forecast a) Cost for development No 1 2 3 Items Land preparing (contract) Infrastruktur and prasarana Fertigation system Total Cost (RM) 10,000 60,000 25,000 95,000
