Visit to Farmat @ Sungei Tengah

Visited FARMART today. Tour was conducted by Q-Man, William.

Some interesting facts gathered:

• It takes 1 year for sugar cane to grow to 2m in length, and it sells for only S$2 to S$3. Taking into consideration the long time-to-market and the cost of land in Singapore, it's not profitable to grow sugar cane here. Hence, they are mostly imported from Malaysia.
• The young of a pigeon is called a "squab".
• 5 quail eggs = 1 chicken egg in terms of cholestrol content.
• The size of chicken eggs increases with the age of the hen. Hence, first born eggs are the smallest in size.
