Korang ada dengar pasal tanam serai secara contract farming?
Menarik jugak ......
Ni sedikit intro pasal serai:-
Tanaman serai makan (Cymbopogen citratus) dilaporkan berasal dari Sri Lanka dan telah tersebar luas di kawasan Tropika, termasuk Malaysia, Indonesia, Tanzania, Brazil, Guatemala dan China. Di Malaysia khususnya, serai makan banyak di tanam sebagai tanaman dapur. Batangnya dituai untuk kegunaan segar sebagai perisa dalam masakan. Serai makan ialah sejenis tanaman rumput yang beraroma dan mempunyai rimbunan daun yang lebat. Pada setiap rumpun terdapat banyak batang yang tumbuh daripada rizom. Batangnya berwarna putih keunguan atau kemerahan. Daunnya tirus, melampai, panjangnya 60−100 cm dan lebar 1.0−1.5 cm. Ia berwarna hijau muda, kesat dengan urat yang selari. Serai makan jarang didapati berbunga di Malaysia.
Khasiat Dan Kegunaan:-
Di Malaysia, serai makan terutama batangnya digunakan sebagai bahan perisa dalam masakan tradisional seperti masakan rendang, tomyam, kerabu, masak lemak cili padi dan asam pedas. Aroma dan rasanya yang unik dapat menambahkan keenakan masakan dan meningkatkan selera.
Di sesetengah negara, serai makan diusahakan khas untuk pengeluaran minyak pati. Minyak pati serai makan berwarna kuning hingga coklat kemerahan dan berbau limau atau `lemon’. Minyak ini terdiri daripada beberapa sebatian dan kandungan utamanya ialah sitral iaitu sejenis aldehide. Peratusan sitral dalam minyak pati serai makan adalah antara 65% hingga 85%. Sebatian-sebatian lain yang menpunyai lebih rendah peratusannya termasuklah linalol, geraniol, citronellal, citronellol, farnesol, farnesal, limonene dan nerol.
Minyak pati serai makan diguna sebagai pewangi sabun, bahan pencuci, syampu dan produk lain.. Walau bagaimanapun sebahagian besar daripadanya digunakan untuk mendapatkan sitral (secara isolasi fizikal) dan ionones (secara tindak balas kimia terhadap sitral).

Betul ke forex boleh menjana pendapatan sampingan??
FOREX TU APA?

Ini adalah satu set urusniaga di kalangan ejen - ejen pasaran tukaran mata wang asing yang melibatkan pertukaran yang ditentukan oleh sejumlah wang dalam satu unit matawang dari mana-mana negara khas untuk matawang dari negara berbeza pada kadar persetujuan pada tarikh yang ditentukan secara terperinci. Semasa pertukaran, kadar pertukaran satu matawang untuk mata wang lain adalah ditentukan dengan hanya: oleh penawaran dan permintaan — pertukaran atas persetujuan kedua-dua pihak.

APA YANG MENGGERAKKAN FOREX??
FOREX terlibat dengan pelbagai faktor-faktor ekonomi dan politikal. Naik turun terbesar dalam harga-harga mata wang biasanya berlangsung sepanjang gangguan bank pusat, apabila kerajaan memperdagangkan dalam jumlah yang sangat besar tukaran mata wang asing dalam satu usaha untuk sama ada kenaikan atau lebih rendah nilai matawang sendiri mereka. Dan terdapat juga factor-faktor lain seperti perubahan kadar faedah, angka-angka ekonomi, ketidakstabilan politik dan urusniaga-urusniaga banyak besar oleh dana-dana lindung nilai boleh bergerak pasaran.
