SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE
The peaceful lifestyle and agricultural
practices of the community provide good
reasons to visit this remote community.
Ba’Kelalan was also the location for
Malaysia’s only apple orchard but I
learned while in the village that the
orchard was no longer being looked after
so there were no apples to be had.
Rice production is essential for sustaining
the community with the highland rice
grown calledadan(often referred to in
other parts of Sarawak as Bario rice).
Several varieties and colours are grown
and all are highly prized by gourmands
