SEREMBAN, Feb 27: Sharina Mad Shah (pix) started planting the Fragaria x ananassa strawberry in March last year when the government first implemented the Movement Control Order (MCO) to curb the spread of COVID-19.
And now, she is able to earn between RM3,000 and RM5,000 a month from the sale of her strawberry seedlings.
She started by planting seven of the strawberry plants in the front yard of her house in Taman Pinggiran Golf here and the project turns out well.
The 47-year-old Negeri Sembilan-born said she was initially sceptical that the plants would grow as she does not have green fingers, and strawberry is usually grown in highland areas with cold weather.
