Long Time No Hear, Narji Turns Out to be a Vegetable Farmer to Survive in the Midst of the Corona Pandemic

Kapanlagi.com - Narji, who has not appeared on television for a long time, is now busy farming. Just like when the phenomenon of agate stones became a trend, Narji also sees the same opportunity in the world of agriculture. Moreover, the situation is uncertain due to the corona virus pandemic (COVID-19).

As reported from the TRANS TV Official YouTube channel, Narji admitted that he has a 2500 square meter unused land that would be a waste if not utilized. Therefore, he took the initiative to revive the land to make it productive and beneficial.

"Now, in the midst of this situation, it turns out that it's difficult to obtain vegetables, carbohydrates like cassava, and various other things. Well, I don't know where the feeling came from, about 6 months ago, the unused land behind the house was built, and I watered it," said Narji in the BROWNIS program.

1. Hire Local Residents

From his garden, Narji can earn income that can help the economy of farmers. He admitted that the farmers he hired were neighbors who lived around his garden.

"Instead of sleeping, we plant decorative trees in one block, and we also plant herbs like lemongrass because during the corona pandemic, lemongrass was expensive, up to 70 thousand. We have several blocks, and recently someone bought around... the money goes to the farmers," he continued.

2. Be Prepared If Food Ingredients Are Scarce

Narji is quite selective when it comes to the plants in his garden. He considers the needs and growth period of the plants in his garden based on the current conditions, where food ingredients are difficult to obtain.

"Now we plant corn, cassava, and there are many papaya fruits growing. Papaya grows quickly, once it sprouts, it starts to bear fruit," he concluded.
