Final Week (Evaluation, Harvest and Sales)

     Hellooo...... So this will be the final post from me... I think..  Well, let get on with it.

     So for the final week, there was a one on one evaluation between us and our lecturer. Basically a recap on our understanding on the subject. I mostly got asked on the farming tools that I used as well as their usages. Overall, I think I did fine. Supposedly, were we supposed to harvest the vegetables this week. However, since a majority of them haven't matured yet, the harvesting process was delayed about a week later.

    As for the harvesting process, we weighted the vegetables based on their types and who planted them. It is so that we can get a general idea of who was successful with their farm plot. We harvested the vegetables manually by hand and thoroughly washed the soil before weighting them. Each of the weight is recorded. After that, the vegetable are piled up based on their type. The vegetables then undergoes through quality check where we remove the hard stems and discard bad/low-quality vegetables. They are then tied up together to be sold off.

 

Here is the total amount of vegetables that were harvested from the farm:

TOTAL (g)	7050	900	4300	1600	13850

The total harvest amounted to about13.85 kg which is considerably very low. This is mainly due to the insects eating at our vegetables seedlings and also disease attack especially on the Pak Choi and Kailan. The soil condition may also affect the growth of our vegetables. However, the amount that were sold were considerably lower than this. This is because of the condition of the vegetables. Some of them were badly infected that they were not suitable to be sold.

    As for the sales of the vegetables, all of the were bunched together and were sold at RM2 per bunch. We got a total amount RM54 from selling the vegetables. However, this is not the gross profit for it. We needed to substract it with the operating cost for the farm. However, all of it is covered by and supplied by UITM. So technically, it is a 100% profit for us. But if this was a real farm where the operation cost is from us then were suffered a major loss. Overall this was a good experience for us. We should have taken more effort to maintain the health of the vegetables at the seedling stages. Most of the vegetables died off or were stunted during this period. This will mistake will surely help us improve our understanding on growing vegetables. 

    Anyways, that is all from me. I would like to thank my friends who joined me in this journey as well as our lecturer who guided us. Thank you and goodbye everyone :)
