Cost efficiency of harumanis production under contract farming in Perlis / Nur Aini Razali

Harumanis mango being one of the most popular mango fruits in Malaysia and has been planted commercially at Perlis. So, a higher quality standard for the Harumanis mango are required and this has been a challenge to Harumanis farmers due to Harumanis crop that highly susceptible to many pests that c...
