Started by his father about more than 50 years ago, KC Kwang & Sons, also known as Twin Diamond Plantation, is a true family business that specializes in tomatoes and various other botanical and vegetable produce. Mr Kwang’s farm is nestled amidst the misty embrace of Kampung Raja in Cameron Highlands, on approximately 60 hectares of land sprawled in the Blue Valley region.
A Bit About Mr Kwang
When Mr Kwang’s father started the farming business, he was just a mere boy but he regularly helped to manage the farm together. After schooling hours and during school holidays, he would take the time to assist with proper soil preparations, planting and sowing of crops and all the way to harvest and post-harvest management, all while completing his studies in finance and economics at university. Fast forward to today, his son would now also have a hand in the family business.
