JAKARTA (May 16): Indonesia targets a 2024 sugar output of 2.59 million metric tonnes, up from 2.3 million tonnes last year due to a bigger planting area. White sugar output fell 4% last year, and consumer prices rose 30% to 18,920 rupiah/kg amid low stocks. The agriculture ministry aims for self-sufficiency by 2028 for households and 2030 for industrial use. The sugar milling season started in mid-May, with a 2024 harvested area of 512,813 hectares. #Indonesia #SugarOutput #BiggerPlantingArea #AgricultureMinister

Orange Picking Agrotourism Farmer interview activities. This activity was carried out in the Dau Malang area, precisely in the orange land. Here I conducted interviews with orange farmers to ask about what the orange farmers did before the Orange Picking Agrotourism opened, as well as asking about the good and bad impacts after the Orange Picking Agrotourism started.

As one of the largest areas for oil palm expansion in Indonesia, Kalimantan hosts numerous plantations amidst its extensive forest cover. According to NDPE rules, companies are essentially prohibited from clearing forests, peat forests, or peat for plantation development. Improper clearing will result in the company incurring liability based on the amount of land cleared. ⚖ A commitment is needed from palm oil industry players to create a sustainable palm oil industry by refraining from changing land cover that should be preserved for the development of oil palm plantations. Additionally, monitoring of oil palm plantations is crucial to overseeing the industry's operations, ensuring sustainability and compliance with established methods. 🔄🌴 Check out the infographic below to observe the dynamic changes in palm oil liabilities in Kalimantan from 2016 to 2023. 📉 *Disclaimer: The displayed data is derived from the database and analysis results provided by Inovasi Digital. #Kalimantan #PalmOilPlantation #Forest #Peat #PeatForest #Liability #NDPE

Why Indonesia's largest swine farm is downsizing? As quoted from the local media, PT Indotirta Suaka Pulau Bulan has informed their unilateral termination of employment. The company has been operated for many years and recognised as one of the oldest swine farm operators in Riau island, #Indonesia. The workers demand their employment rights which are deemed not fulfilled by the company. On average, hundreds of their workers has been working for more than 10 years, and many are nearing their retirement age. For the past years the company's hardship due to uncontrollable #swine virus. In 2022, the company has exported 240k+ livestock to #Singapore. In my opinion, my colleagues who happened to worked there were paid better than any company in #Batam with similar qualifications. We should expect a hike on the price of fresh pork within the region.

I would like to thank GreatEdu and Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup dan Kehutanan for the knowledge and also the golden opportunity that has been given to me. From the presentation of the material I became more concerned and understood about current environmental issues and what steps can be taken by the younger generation to take part in handling environmental cases in Indonesia. #msibbatch5 #greatedu #DataAnalyst

Although we have scheduled certain areas for replanting (based on their age profile) and have ceased applying fertilizers to those areas, the replanting programme has been put on hold because "𝘴𝘢𝘺𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘶𝘭 𝘯𝘢𝘬 𝘵𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘨" as those areas are still giving us relatively high yield. #Plantation #Sarawak #Replanting
