The Ministry of Agriculture is strengthening its commitment to\ndeveloping Indonesia\u2019s plant genetic resources, one of which is through\nthe registration of Hoya varieties.<\/p>\n
Head of the Centre for Plant Variety Protection and Agricultural\nLicensing (PVTPP), Leli Nuryati, explained that the effort is being\nundertaken to ensure that the wealth of Hoya varieties is documented,\nhas an identity, and can be preserved and developed sustainably.<\/p>\n
\u201cRegistration, documentation and preservation of Hoya varieties can\nbe carried out through PVTPP sources both online and offline,\u201d said Leli\nin her statement on Thursday, 13 August 2026.<\/p>\n
The commitment was also demonstrated through the handover of the Hoya\nVariety Registration Certificate (TDV), which was combined with the\nlaunch of the book Hoya Plantation: Germplasm Genetics Valued by the\nWorld by Hervia Latuconsina Budi.<\/p>\n
The activity was also held in conjunction with an exhibition of Hoya\nand orchid species, organised by the Indonesian Hoya Plant Conservation\nAssociation (PPTHI).<\/p>\n
For Leli, variety registration is not merely an administrative\nactivity or ceremony. The step is part of efforts to document,\nrecognise, preserve and develop the wealth of Indonesia\u2019s plant\nvarieties.<\/p>\n
\u201cVariety registration is not the end, but rather the beginning of the\nresponsibility to maintain the identity, existence and sustainability of\nthe variety,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Based on data from the PVTPP Centre, 25 Hoya Variety Registration\nCertificates have been issued to date in the name of the Regent of\nSleman. A total of 10 varieties were registered in 2024, five varieties\nin 2025 and 10 varieties in 2026. The five varieties registered in 2025\nconsist of Arum Pethak, Keningar, Matasari, Re Surai and Kembang\nRoket.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the 10 varieties registered in 2026 are Si Tangkai Merah,\nJuntai Pastika, Citra Manah, Patera Garib, Wangijambera, Meta Arunika,\nDolipink, Katra Aruna, Manusa and Ronsina.<\/p>\n
Leli emphasised that registered varieties must continue to be\nmaintained, developed and utilised sustainably so that registration\ntruly provides benefits for the community.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn addition to having conservation value, Hoya also holds\nsignificant economic potential. The diversity of shapes, colours, leaf\npatterns and flowers makes this plant attractive as an ornamental\nplant,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Head of the Plant Variety Registration and Release Group, Nani\nSuwarni, said that collaboration between the central government,\nregional governments, communities, breeders, researchers,\nconservationists and business actors is considered important to\nencourage Hoya to develop from merely a collector\u2019s plant into an\nornamental plant commodity with economic value and competitiveness.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/agriculture-ministry-supports-hoya-conservation-develops-indonesias-germplasm-wealth-for-global-stage-1786611225", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
