Buying from the source
Just
like in any highly priced organic products, the market is full of products that
“claim” they are from the original
sources!! One such product is the famed
Bario rice which is also grown in Peninsular Malaysia! And not under organic
conditions. But the packages are labeled 'Bario rice' as if they come from
Bario directly. And it is sold in organic shops!
Elderly
women are the main growers of Bario rice in Bario. Since 2014, university
youths from Peninsular under Project Whee! have been helping to make farming 'sexy' again!! Hopefully, more youths will return to helm agro-tourism and
agro-enterpreneurship.
Similarly,
some organic shops sell very short cinnamon sticks that look like the Ceylon
variety. But they are labeled as “Bario organic cinnamon” and are very
expensive. It is impossible because Bario
Cassia cinnamon sticks are thicker, longer than the small ones you find in the
shops!!
eHomemakers
is on the way to set-up a mobile app-ECHO2U – whereby farmers from Bario can be
the merchants to directly sell their own products by flashing messages of product delivery to buyers in the app.
By buying
directly from the Bario farmers, you are assured of the real Bario cinnamon
from the Borneo rainforests, harvested in a sustainable manner.
Bario cinnamon is definitely much more organic and REAL than any cultivated cinnamon which is tainted with chemical fertilizers and pesticides!
