Promoting Sustainable Sorghum Cultivation

Ponorogo, Eastern Java - PT. Sarana Daun Hijau (SDH) and PT. Satria Rasa Agri have joined forces in a groundbreaking partnership that epitomises good farming practices and professionalism. Together, they have embarked on a mission to cultivate sorghum across 100 hectares of fertile land in Ponorogo, in the East Java region of Indonesia. This collaborative venture, grounded in the core values of nurture, professionalism, and knowledge, aims to supply a local manufacturer with sorghum, which will be processed into a diverse range of products, including cereal, flour, sugar, textiles, and traditional Japanese brooms.

At the heart of this partnership lies a deep commitment to nurturing the land and promoting sustainable agricultural practices. SDH and PT. Satria Rasa Agri shares a vision of cultivating sorghum in a manner that respects the environment, enhances soil health, and prioritises the well-being of farmers and consumers alike.

This collaboration not only focuses on the cultivation of sorghum but also emphasises the importance of professionalism in every aspect of the project. By adhering to high standards and promoting professionalism among all stakeholders involved, the partners aim to ensure efficient operations, effective communication, and optimal outcomes.

With a four-year contract in place, the collaboration sets the stage for long-term planning, stability, and sustainable growth. This allows farmers and stakeholders to invest in the project with confidence, knowing that their efforts will yield fruitful results.

SDH, in its role as a key contributor, will provide the farmers of PT. Satria Rasa Agri with their renowned bio-organic liquid fertiliser, Goldtech G06. By integrating this innovative fertiliser into the project, the partners aim to optimise crop health, increase yields, and promote overall sustainability. This commitment to utilising the best available tools and knowledge underscores their core value of knowledge, as they strive to equip farmers with the latest advancements in agricultural practices.

To ensure the project's smooth operation and efficient management, a semi-government corporation will oversee the coordination and scheduling of approximately 300 farmers involved in sorghum cultivation. This collaborative approach underscores the importance of teamwork, effective resource management, and community empowerment.

The sorghum harvest resulting from this collaboration holds immense potential, as it will be processed into a diverse array of products by the local manufacturer. These products, made possible through the dedicated efforts of farmers, reflect the partners' core values of nurture, professionalism, and knowledge, as they cater to various industries and meet the needs of a wide range of consumers.

As the partnership between PT. Sarana Daun Hijau and PT. Satria Rasa Agri flourishes, the future of sorghum cultivation in Ponorogo looks promising. By embracing good farming practices, prioritising professionalism, and nurturing a sustainable agricultural ecosystem, the collaboration sets an example for the region and beyond. Together, they are cultivating not only sorghum but also a brighter future for farmers, consumers, and the entire community.
