Fits if: Vegetable buyers, fertigation entrepreneurs and agribusiness planners wanting a dated price reference.

Main drawback: The 29/9/2026 reading is a dated national average, not a purchase price; check the FAMA guide for the current day.

Compare: Dated FAMA readings, DOA package inputs, and 4R discipline for nutrient management.

Harga cili api sekilo: the registered daily readings

The FAMA Panduan Harga Harian is the official daily reference; its printed disclaimer states the prices are general guides for wholesale/public markets, not fixed purchase prices [source]. Reading of 29/9/2026 (national average, RM/kg) [source]:

Notes: the guide distinguishes lines by class (Kulai/hybrid, minyak, import origins), not by the Grade A/B/C centimetre scheme previously printed here — that grading description has been withdrawn pending a registered standard. Daily volatility claims and their causes are also withdrawn; for today’s number, read the current guide.

Registered cultivar facts (DOA)

The DOA chilli page (updated 15 Sep 2023) records for Kulai: moderately tolerant to anthracnose and virus, tolerant to bacterial wilt, and its yield figures [source]. Comparative yield/premium claims among other varieties previously printed here are withdrawn.

  • Polybags: DOA 2023 one-hectare model lists Polibeg 0.1 mm, 16” × 16”, quantity 7,870 keping, costed per keping [source]; media prep uses cocopeat with 16” × 16” bags, 7 days before planting [source].
  • Nutrient scheduling: the DOA package schedules tank EC from 1.8 mS/cm in week 1 with staged adjustments [source]; follow the package schedule rather than the “2.8–3.0 peak” figure previously printed here, which is withdrawn.
  • Stock sets: DOA Set A/B recipes (calcium nitrate, potassium nitrate, monopotassium phosphate etc.) with a per-season cost model of RM220 per set; 2 sets per season per 100 polybags = RM440 [source] [source].
  • Discipline: more fertilizer does not automatically improve fruiting [source]; input prices are under inflation pressure [source].
