KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Cameron Highlands nursery centre operators have had to throw 15,000 pots of rose plants since the movement control order (MCO) was implemented on March 18.
Wong Lee Chiat, manager of the YG Park Sdn Bhd rose plantation, said they had incurred losses of RM20,000 to RM30,000, excluding labour costs, when they got rid of the already mature rose plants kept for sale, to make room for new plants.
With the MCO and no tourists coming to Cameron Highlands, he has now to learn to use the Internet to market his rose plants online, he told Bernama. “With just a few hundred dollars, customers can get 22 different pots of roses of various colours, ” said Wong, who has been with the company for the past 12 years.“I’m glad there are customers around Cameron Highlands booking via WhatsApp, ” he added.
