Wwf-Malaysia In Sarawak Is Working Closely With Th..

WWF-Malaysia in Sarawak is working closely with the Lun Bawang community in a quaint village, Long Langai, Ba’ Kelalan to promote sustainable farming of their fragrant Adan rice.

This sustainable rice farming using Systems of Rice Intensification (SRI), is a chemical-free method that can increase paddy yield. Indirectly, it reduces opening of more forests for rice cultivation.

In 2018, 12 farmers committed to be part of this pilot project. After seeing the positive and successful outcome i.e increase in yield, another 15 farmers decided to use SRI this year.

Thanks to funding support from CIMB Islamic Bank, Ba’ Kelalan is on its way to produce healthy and environment-friendly Adan rice.
