InfoSAWIT, JAKARTA – Vice Governor of West Sumatera Province, Audy Joinaldy said that stunting issue and extreme poverty are high in the province. He said that the two are taking place in palm oil plantation centers.
Audy also mentioned, this condition happens for the lack of food varieties in the palm oil plantation centers. “They eat rice with instant noodle,” he said in an online discussion about Roadshow Dialog Penanganan Stunting dan Penghapusan Kemiskinan Ekstrem secara daring, Wednesday (4/5/2023).
District of Pasaman Barat is one region with its high stunting cases, or about 35,5%. But the poverty decreases 0,76%.
"We would confirm if 8 convergency actions run optimally in each region within high stunting cases,” he said. (T2)
