Hallo Steemiant In The Word
Fern (plantae) we often encounter on the edge of sugai or in a moist swamp. Karna fern requires a lot of water to breed.
"Pakis" is very loved in Southeast Asia, especially in Malaysia and Indonesia, in Indonesia itself ferns are rarely found in big cities like Jakarta and other big cities ..
Why? Karna until now ferns are very long distance cultivated by vegetable farmers, not like vegetables spinach and kangkung very easy and much in planting by vegetable farmers.
I myself do not know why ferns are very distance in cultivation, maybe because it is not easy to cultivate fern plants karna to take fern seed itself is not as easy as doing spinach and kale spinach.
Reviewing the price of fern vegetables in the market is relatively stable, a small bunch of ferns sold for 1500-2000 rupiah. But this is a cheap price for the collector of ferns themselves because to get the fern vegetables themselves is not easy.
The rapid opening of oil palm plantations in Indonesia to make the fern plant is threatened with extinction, because the owner of the garden that sprayed his plantation land to make the fern plant to die.
Another obstacle to fern seekers is the difficulty of access, sometimes this fern vegetable is very fertile growing in swamps and fringe sugai, but to get there need to travel so far that makes the fern seekers relent.
