Abstract:
In recent years, the Bidayuh farmers from the Siburan area have gradually moved into vegetable cultivation. Since then, vegetable market gardening (VMG) has become a very important cash raising activity for the Bidayuh farmers residing in the vicinity of Kuching the state capital of Sarawak. In short, VMG which was once dominated by the Chinese has spread to the Bidayuh communities. The growing importance of VMG among the Bidayuh farmers in Siburan had prompted this study to be undertaken. The three main objectives of the study were to (a) examine the diffusion and adoption of VMG, (b) identify the cultivation and crop management technique adopted by the farmers, and (c) investigate the economic aspects of VMG.
