Rice
Rice, a main staple crop in Indonesia, is cultivated across 13 million hectares. Its year-round planting in this tropical climate leads to persistent pest issues like Sheath blight and Rice stem borer, driving high chemical usage that impacts the environment and costs. We aim to introduce IPM to mitigate these challenges sustainably.
Corn
Corn occupies 3.5 million hectares, often in rainfed areas. Rising cultivation has increased pest pressure, notably from Fall Armyworm. Our IPM strategies focus on reducing chemical reliance while addressing these growing threats to ensure viable yields.
Chilli
Cultivated over 400,000 hectares, chilli is a valuable cash crop in Indonesia. High pest pressure and market demand push farmers toward chemicals, but IPM could enhance quality and profitability if adopted widely, a goal we are working toward.
Shallots
Shallots have seen rapid cultivation growth, but falling prices and rising pest pressure challenge profitability. Our IPM approach seeks to optimize yields and reduce costs, making this crop economically viable for farmers.
