The collaboration focuses on precise nutrient measurement for Indonesian crops, aiming to optimise local bio-products for global standards and economic value, with joint patents to be registered internationally. This initiative supports BRIN's efforts in sustainable industrial and manufacturing systems, marked by a formal agreement signed in Jakarta.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - The National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN)\nhas officially established a collaboration with the Korea Institute of\nScience and Technology (KIST) from South Korea to develop mass\nproduction of high-value natural products in Indonesia through smart\nfarming systems.<\/p>\n<p>Head of the Centre for Research on Sustainable Industrial and\nManufacturing Systems (PRSIMB) at BRIN, Nugroho Adi Sasongko, stated\nthat this collaboration represents the second phase of an ongoing\npartnership.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are focusing on the characteristics of nutrient absorption in\nIndonesia\u2019s superior crops at each growth stage. Through KIST\u2019s smart\nfarming technology, we can precisely measure the composition of nutrient\nsolutions required under tropical climate conditions. This is essential\nto ensure that our natural products meet global industry standards,\u201d\nsaid Nugroho in a statement in Jakarta on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>By adopting the smart farming technology developed by KIST, he\ncontinued, Indonesia is expected to optimise the potential of local\nbiological products into high economic value natural products.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery new discovery resulting from this collaborative research will\nbe registered as an international patent through cooperation with the\nKorea Intellectual Property Association (KIPA),\u201d Nugroho added.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, this step is part of BRIN\u2019s broader efforts to\nsupport the development of sustainable industrial and manufacturing\nsystems in the country.<\/p>\n<p>It is known that this strategic collaboration was officially\nformalised through the signing of a Cooperation Agreement (PKS) by the\nChairman of the PRSIMB BRIN Project Cooperation, Dudi Iskandar, and the\nTeam Leader as well as KIST Cooperation Coordinator Soo Hyun Park,\nrepresented by Lee Ju Young, at the BRIN Thamrin Office in Jakarta on 28\nMarch 2026.<\/p>",
