			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently I have a chance to visit the Tasik Beris Vineyard (Ladang Anggur Tasik Beris) in Kedah. Actually the visit is just a co-incident. I went to a &#8216;market&#8217; not too far from that place and some friends said that since we are in that area, why don&#8217;t just visit the Beris Lake&#8230; then from there I find the Vineyard.</p>
<p><img src="http://birdforum.my/photo/albums/userpics/normal_P2260106.JPG" alt="Ladang Anggur Tasik Beris, SIK, Kedah" /></p>
<p>Not just the farm that you can visit if you come here, you can shop for the grapes as well. I try it&#8230; it is very sweet and the price I pay at that time is RM15 per packet. They have the fresh grapes and also grape juices drink (it is non alcohol btw, and not a vine)<br />
<img src="http://birdforum.my/photo/albums/userpics/normal_P2260125.JPG" alt="Ladang Anggur Tasik Beris" /></p>
<p>From an old news article, it say that this vineyard is belong to a private company name Excel Agrotech Sdn. Bhd.</p>
<p>Here is the news:</p>
<blockquote><p>
Sik bakal jadi pengeluar utama anggur</p>
<p>SIK 7 Mei &#8211; Daerah ini akan menjadi antara lokasi utama pengeluaran anggur negara apabila projek penanaman anggur di sekitar kawasan Empangan Beris dekat sini mengeluarkan hasil sepenuhnya tidak lama lagi.</p>
<p>Menteri Besar Kedah, Datuk Seri Azizan Abdul Razak berkata, tanaman anggur baka Black Opal, Black Grape, White Malaga dan Lose Plite itu adalah untuk pasaran tempatan.</p>
<p>Beliau berkata, projek perintis fasa pertama dengan 1,000 pokok anggur yang digerakkan Excel Agrotech Sdn. Bhd. kini berjaya membuahkan hasil memberangsangkan di kawasan seluas 1.6 hektar di Kampung Ternas.</p>
<p>&#8220;Sebelum ini daerah Sik terkenal dengan produk tradisional seperti ikan pekasam dan kuih muih. Namun dengan adanya teknologi pertanian baru, kita mahu Sik juga dikenali sebagai pengeluar anggur utama negara,&#8221; katanya kepada pemberita selepas melawat kerja ladang anggur itu baru-baru ini.</p>
<p>Menurut Azizan, beberapa kawasan tanah terbiar di daerah ini juga telah dikenal pasti untuk ditanam dengan anggur.</p>
<p>&#8220;Terdapat banyak lagi tanah terbiar di Sik dan kita berharap pihak swasta dan usahawan tani dapat menggerakkan usaha menjadikan Sik sebagai lokasi pengeluaran anggur utama negara tidak lama lagi,&#8221; jelasnya.</p>
<p>Tambahnya, kewujudan ladang anggur terbabit dijangka turut memberikan impak positif kepada pengusaha sektor pelancongan pada masa akan datang.</p>
<p>&#8220;Apabila wujudnya ladang anggur, para pengusaha sektor pelancongan boleh membina calet atau rumah rehat bagi tujuan menarik kemasukan pelawat dan menikmati suasana serta keindahan alam di Tasik Beris,&#8221; katanya.</p>
<p>Dalam pada itu, Pengarah Urusan Excel Agrotech, Amiruddin Malik berkata, projek tanaman anggur itu dimulakan pada 2007 di pinggir Tasik Beris dengan modal kira-kira RM500,000.</p>
<p>&#8220;Selama ini kita menganggap anggur hanya sesuai ditanam di negara yang mempunyai empat musim. Sekarang dengan kemajuan teknologi pertanian, ia boleh ditanam di Sik,&#8221; ujarnya.</p>
<p>Katanya, pokok anggur yang ditanam sejak kecil akan mengambil masa kira-kira 10 hingga 12 bulan untuk matang dan mengeluarkan hasil.</p>
<p>Ditanya tentang kaedah penanaman, Amiruddin memberitahu, anggur yang ditanam di situ menggunakan kaedah biji benih, keratan ranting, tunas dan penghasilan tisu kultur.</p>
<p>&#8220;Sebelum mengambil keputusan menanam anggur di sini, saya telah membuat kajian kesesuaian tanah selain mempelajari teknik-teknik daripada pengusaha di Thailand dan Perlis,&#8221; katanya.</p>
<p>Beliau berkata, berikutan kejayaan tersebut, syarikatnya kini sedang mengembangkan penanaman anggur di kawasan seluas 12 hektar dengan 7,000 batang pokok di kawasan Sungai Senam dekat sini.</p>
<p>Orang ramai yang ingin mendapat maklumat lanjut boleh menghubungi di talian 04-4620466 atau faks 04-4620611.</p>

</p></blockquote>
<p>The view in that place is very nice&#8230; I manage to take some photo to share with here.</p>
<p>If you visit Sik (in Kedah) I recommend you to pay a visit to this place&#8230; even you didn&#8217;t visit the Vineyard, but the lake itself is very nice.</p>
