InfoSAWIT, PALANGKARAYA –Governor of Central Kalimantan, H. Sugianto Sabran through Assistant in Economy and Development, Leonard S. Ampung hoped, there would be good coordination and synergy among the related stakeholders namely to execute Governor’s Regulation of Central Kalimantan Number 53 / 2020 about Rencana Aksi Daerah Kelapa Sawit Berkelanjutan (RAD-KSB) in the province in 2020-2024.

Leonard S. Ampung hoped the workshop would discuss the urgency in RAD PKSB in the province, such as, area legal, partnership between companies and people around the plantations, the cultivation, infrastructures, downstream sector and marketing.

He also hoped, those aspects could be the same concern to do inventory of smallholders’ areas (plantations) that may be developing in forest regions. “Because the points in RAD-KSB are to escalate fresh fruit bunch (FFB) production and smallholders’ plantation legality,” he said, as quoted from Beritakalteng.com.

Leo also mentioned, there should be synergy among the province, district/city, and related ministry to monitor the plan seriously.
