"Activities like this really support the provincial government's efforts in realizing sustainable palm oil development," he said in Banjarbaru, Tuesday.
He said the provincial government is preparing an action plan for sustainable palm oil development for 2021-2024. Several strategic measures are prepared, from improving human resources to diversifying palm oil plantations with other commodities.

Hesti Haerani, a ULM researcher added, with a control system that protects farmers, no farmers are ignored.
"The supply chain implementation system ends with the digital chain. Farmers with an account can see price movement and maps of local and regional market forces," she said.
