Money-making career: Growing salak in rubber plantations, expanding products, generating income.

Rubber farmers in Ban Wang Nao, Pak Chalui Subdistrict, Tha Chang District, Surat Thani Province, have turned to growing Salak Sumalee in their rubber plantations, generating additional income, more than the rubber per rai. They are also developing Salak into various products and selling them to customers, generating income of no less than 20,000 baht per month. Mr. Sanya, 45 years old, owner of Rai Nicha, Pak Chalui Subdistrict, Tha Chang District, Surat Thani Province, said that the reason for planting Salak Sumali in the rubber plantation is because some of the rubber plantations he planted on more than 30 rai of land have developed fungus, causing the rubber trees to die one by one. His junior who runs Salak Sumali in Phatthalung recommended planting Salak. After trying it, he earned more than rubber. Most of the income is sold online, earning no less than 20,000 baht. In addition to fresh Salak, there are Salak in syrup, Salak in syrup, Salak with sweet fish sauce, Salak papaya salad, Salak smoothie.
