Chillies at Ladang 2, Inas, Johol, Negeri Sembilan.

Global Agro Diversified Sdn Bhd also used part of the land at Ladang 2, Inas to plant Birds' eye chilli (chili padi). There is a single Rain Shelter situated in the middle of the land. This will be re-positioned to accommodate new rain shelters which will be built when funding is available. Some of the water tanks and other structure will also be re-positioned to arrange the new Rain Shelters systematically.




There are mature chilli plants under the rain shelter which are producing chillies and they are currently being harvested. These plants have been producing chillies in the last 2 months.
