Seeing this, the Tepus Village Government took the initiative to transform the area into sustainable food-security land. In addition to planting coconut and mango, the land is also planned to be developed into poultry and fish farming areas.
“This location is the village’s food security area. In addition to plantations, we want to develop chicken farms and fish ponds to strengthen food security and the community’s economy,” Acai explained.
The presence of this village plantation does not only focus on food security but also has the potential to become a source of Village Original Revenue (PADes) and create job opportunities for residents.
“Many residents are involved in this activity. We are glad because this program can create job opportunities for the community,” he added.
He hopes that the cooperation with PT Timah Tbk will continue.
“We hope PT Timah will continue to work with us to further develop the Tepus Village food-security area in the future,” he concluded.
