Ahmad Fahrizal

With a sense of calling, Ahmad Fahrizal, 32, has found success from avocado nurseries. Through the cipedak avocado variety, the resident of Jagakarsa, South Jakarta, is persistent in introducing Jakarta in the world of agriculture.

"Treat plants like a doctor who wants to carry out surgery, like wanting to surgically remove a human hand," Fahrizal, better known as Rizal, told two interns from IPB University, Bogor, Saturday (20/2/2021). He was teaching grafting techniques to multiply cipedak avocado seedlings in his farm in Ciganjur subdistrict, Jagakarsa district.
