TLT Dynamic Sdn Bhd, Terengganu’s leading mushroom producer, will increase its
mushroom production to 300kg daily, up from 100 kg, upon the completion of its
three additional farms.
Its executive chairman, Sufian Mohd, said “The company has spent RM500,000 to
build five farms, each with the capacity to house 30,000 bags of mushroom seed
which can be harvested in five months.”
TLT signed a deal last year with GCH Retail (M) Sdn Bhd to sell its mushrooms at
the chain’s 87 Giant outlets and 16 Cold Storage stores nationwide.
According to Department of Agriculture and Department of Statistics, more than 2.6
million tonnes of mushrooms worth about RM27.74 million were imported in 2004.
