A few days back received a phone call from a newbie who wanted to start a swiftlet farm.
I told him that if he is serious I will be very keen to help him out.
Finally we met at a coffee shop somewhere at Jalan Ipoh Kuala Lumpur.
He told me that his friend owned a piece of agricultural land in N9 and wanted to go into swiftlet farming.
This was where the fun begins.
First he elaborated on how he started to come out with this interesting idea (to him is interesting but to so many others this is rubbish).
He started to search for some contacts on the web.
After getting those so called "Sifu" and started to call one by one.
His complained was that many seems to stop answering their phone (fixed lines).
He also came across "Sifus" who answered his calls and as soon as he mentioned swiftlet farming the other person on the phone simply slam down.
"Pak Harry what is happening man? How come I received so many cold shoulder treatment from these so called "Sifus"?"
He started to realize that something is not right out there.
The only person who answer and willing to answer in a more humanly manner is Pak Harry.
How came the industry is so bad, Pak Harry?
I can only smiled and pointed to him to look at the bright sides.
I related to him what is happening to the industry and how he can take advantage from this doldrums.
Many "Sifus" close shops and many BH owners abandoned their BHs.
Just imagine what happen to a BH that is populated with some birds and the owner aborted their maintenance.
These poor birds will have to move to another BH.
Just imagine if you came in into the market.
Will there be some advantages?
He understood my messages but after the 45 minutes meeting I told him that he should not jump into this swiftlet farming business.
What I strongly asked him to do is to attend the next Productivity Seminar to be held at Grand Beach Resort at Port Dickson N9.
Hopefully and friend will learn something as his first step into swiftlet farming.
