Perlis: Building The Largest Superfruits Farm in Malaysia

Robin Lim is the founder of Superfruits Valley in Perlis, one of the largest superfruits farms in Malaysia. Spanning 50 hectares with 40 greenhouses, Robin’s farm grows superfruits like gac, fig, passion fruit and cape gooseberry - with nutritional benefits that will blow your mind. In this episode, the modern farmer shows us how it's done, the importance of building up the next-gen of farmers and of course, life in Perlis.

“Agriculture will not be wrong. Growing the right things for the right market is very important. And you need to analyse yourself on the market demand, rather than listening to others.” - Robin Lim
