This was expressed by the Head of Sukadana Jaya Village, Beni, when signing the minutes of the handover of the drilled well as part of PT GGP’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) program.

Beni said, “After deliberation and consensus between residents and Sukadana Jaya Village officials, today the residents’ wishes can be realized with the help of this company which produces canned pineapple and juice in the form of drilled wells. “This is an effort to overcome the crisis of clean water sources, especially during the dry season which often makes it difficult for people to get clean water.” In this way, it is hoped that the community around the company will no longer need to worry about facing a clean water crisis.

The research team from Gadjah Mada University (UGM) led by Dr. Agus Kuncaka DEA, together with PT Great Giant Pineapple (GGP), monitored research on UGM immobilized humic acid and fulvic acid (AHAF) biochar, on Wednesday (22/3).

Monitoring was carried out in the soil and feed workshop of the UGM Department of Chemistry located in Pakisaji Village, Candibinangun, Pakem, Sleman. This research aims to increase soil fertility and pineapple production through the application of AHAF immobilized biochar, a product from the Ministry of Kim. Biochar is charcoal produced from the pyrolysis process of biomass, while humic acid and fulvic acid are building blocks for healthy soil.

Although both come from humus, their roles are very different. Working together, humic acid and fulvic acid provide great benefits to agriculture. Both create healthy soil rich in microbes, improve plant health, and increase crop yields. One of the greatest benefits of humic acid and fulvic acid is the increase in root mass even at low concentrations. Increasing root mass allows plants to obtain more macro and micro nutrients in the soil to be passed on to the leaves and fruit.

Pineapple planting for this research began on November 23 2023. Monitoring was carried out to observe the growth of pineapple plants and soil conditions. Agus Kuncaka explained that this research is expected to produce solutions to increase soil fertility and pineapple production. “It is hoped that this research can increase soil fertility and pineapple production. “It is also hoped that the results of this research can help pineapple farmers increase their harvests,” said Agus Kuncaka.

This research collaboration is one form of UGM’s contribution to supporting food security and the welfare of pineapple farmers in Indonesia. This research is in line with SDGs number 2, namely no hunger, and number 3, namely healthy and prosperous life. This can be seen from the solutions that are beneficial for pineapple farmers, the pineapple industry and national food security.

Thus, the visit and cooperation agenda carried out has an impact that is in line with the needs of the SDGs points. UGM is committed to continuing to carry out research and technological development to improve the quality and competitiveness of Indonesian agricultural products.

PT Umas Jaya Agrotama (PT UJA) Terbanggi Besar, has succeeded in increasing the supply of cassava raw materials by 30 percent in 2023. Fulfillment of cassava raw materials entering the factory is supported, in part, by the cassava partnership program carried out by PT UJA with cassava farmers.

The partnership program which will start in mid-2022 will also help factories obtain supplies of cassava raw materials. Currently, the partnership program has reached more than 400 hectares of land spread across 5 districts, namely Central Lampung, North Lampung, Tulang Bawang, West Tulang Bawang, Mesuji, spread across 8 sub-districts and 23 villages.

“The actual achievement of cassava raw material supply reached 30 percent higher than the planned budget target,” said UJA Production Head Mr. Ammar Viko Wicaksono.

With the increase in cassava raw materials entering the factory, of course the achievement of the Tapioca flour production target will also increase. Tapioca flour production in 2023 will reach 136% of the target.
According to him, the achievement in 2023 will be the best achievement in the last 10 years since 2013.

The increase in production is of course very dependent on the supply of cassava raw materials entering the factory. During the high season in early 2023, the factory will still be able to produce high levels. Apart from that, the factory has also recently expanded so that it can take advantage of as much as possible when cassava is abundant, he added.

Cassava starch levels are also quite good from the beginning to the middle of the year, but start to fall during El Nino due to the effect of farmers not being able to fertilize so that nutrients to increase starch levels decrease, he explained.

“Recovery in 2023 will be the best condition in the last 4 years in 2023,” stressed Mr. Ammar.

The cassava partnership program really helps farmers because this program provides loan fees that will be returned at harvest. Apart from that, farmers also receive assistance and guidance from PT UJA on how to plant cassava properly according to care standards until harvest.

The partnership is open and not coercive, when there are farmers who want to join, PT UJA will facilitate land surveys, file administration, if it meets the partnership program standards, farmers can join. Farmers who own 0.5 hectares of land can join in the partnership.

“PT UJA is targeting twice as much cassava from the partnership program by 2024,” said Mr Ammar.

He said, apart from the partnership program, there are financing funds, when farmers supply supplies to the factory, they don’t need to queue and can just unload. And if problems occur in farmers’ crops, the PT UJA partnership team always coordinates with the Great Giant Foods (GGF) Research Team to directly evaluate what conditions in the field are like so that there are recommendations for treating disease in plants.

“Several recommendations from the research team have been implemented on partner land that is experiencing pest and disease problems,” he stressed.

Kartini Day, which is celebrated every April 21, is a precious opportunity for us to celebrate the struggle and legacy of Raden Ajeng Kartini. In the spirit of this commemoration, we can draw inspiration from Kartini’s spirit in realizing gender equality in our internal environment. This article will explain why commemoration of Kartini Day is important for us as individuals and organizations, as well as how we can apply Kartini values ​​in everyday life.

Before we can take inspiration from Kartini, it is important for us to understand her struggle. Kartini was a female figure who fought for equal education, freedom and equal rights for women in a patriarchal era. She leads by example and strong passion to change society’s paradigm regarding the role of women. Through her courage, Kartini became a symbol of women who dare to pursue their dreams and fight for gender equality.

Commemoration of Kartini Day can be a momentum for organizations to reflect on their commitment to gender equality. It is important for us to evaluate existing policies and practices in our work environment. Are there equal opportunities and supports for all individuals, regardless of gender? Is there awareness of the importance of promoting diversity and inclusion in the workplace? In the spirit of Kartini, we must be committed to creating a fair and inclusive culture within our organization.

One of the main points fought for by Kartini was equal education for women. In a corporate context, it is important for us to provide equal educational and development opportunities for all individuals, regardless of gender. This can be done through training, mentoring programs, or access to educational resources. By providing equal opportunities, we strengthen Kartini’s vision of empowering women through education.

Kartini is a real example of a woman who dares to lead and inspire others. In our organizations, it is important to encourage and support women’s leadership. This includes providing opportunities for women to take on leadership roles, ensuring fairness in the promotion system, and creating an environment that supports career growth and development for all individuals, regardless of gender.

Commemoration of Kartini Day can also be an opportunity for us to share and gain inspiration from women’s success stories in the internal environment. We can hold discussions or lectures involving women who have achieved success in various fields. Telling their stories will inspire and provide an example for other individuals, as well as encourage Kartini’s fighting spirit within them.

Commemoration of Kartini Day is a valuable momentum for us to gain inspiration from the spirit and struggle of Raden Ajeng Kartini. In our internal environment, we can apply Kartini’s values ​​by encouraging gender equality, providing equal educational and development opportunities, encouraging women’s leadership, and drawing inspiration from the success stories of women around us. By adopting these values, we create an inclusive environment and provide opportunities for all individuals to achieve their potential without gender barriers. Let’s celebrate Kartini Day with the same spirit, fight for gender equality in our internal environment, and pay tribute to women who have fought and inspired us like Kartini.
