InfoSAWIT, MERAUKE – To support the quality of reliable human resource in agriculture and palm oil plantation sectors, Yayasan Santo Antonius (Yasanto) on Jalan Missi II, District of Merauke, South Papua Province established a politeknik.

It is Politeknik Yasanto. In the past three years until 2022, it graduated 107 students with diploma 3 (three) degree.

Director of Politeknik Yasanto, Beatrix Anna Maria Rahawarin said, the institution needs to develop including by having program study. But the challenge is that the lecturer needed to get new program study. Until now there are some program studies, such as, Food Plantation Cultivation, Livestock Cultivation, and Fish – Catch Technology.

Beatrix also explained that the new program study would be very important for plantation sectors develop in Papua Province, particularly in District of Merauke. One proposal to get new one is Palm Oil Program Study that would encourage palm oil plantation industries in the region.

‘To be developed in the future, Politeknik Yasanto needs new program study,” Beatrix recently said to InfoSAWIT.

Palm oil plantation is one promising agricultural sector in Indonesia including in Papua. By having palm oil program study in Politeknik Yasanto, it is hoped that the graduate would get knowledge and skills needed to manage palm oil plantation efficiently and sustainably. (T1)
