Daro considers 11.67ha plot for perennial-rice research
-
An 11.67-hectare plot at Block E, Nangar Besar, is being considered as a possible site for perennial-rice research. Landowners and local stakeholders discussed the proposal in Daro on Sept 24; the site still needs a technical suitability assessment, so this is not an approved farm or a confirmed planting plan.
The proposed work would involve Borneoland Paddy, which has taken part in earlier perennial-rice trials in Sarawak. Some varieties can regrow after harvest without being replanted, but the approach still has to be tested against local conditions before Daro’s plot can move ahead. Previous trials in Kuala Baram offer context, not proof that this proposed site is suitable.
No assessment deadline, start date or production target was announced. For nearby farming communities, the next meaningful step is whether the land review proceeds and how landowner feedback is reflected before any decision is made.
