        "content": "<p>The Ministry of Transmigration has stated that two regions in East\nKalimantan, namely Maloy Kaliorang in Kutai Timur Regency and Keladen in\nPaser Regency, have been included in the priority list for the\ndevelopment of transmigration areas. This was announced by the Director\nGeneral of Development and Expansion of Transmigration Areas, Sigit\nMustofa Nuruddin, while accompanying the Deputy Minister of\nTransmigration, Viva Yoga Mauladi, during a rubber farming consultation\nin Sebuntal Village, Marangkayu District, Kutai Kartanegara, on Saturday\n(23\/05\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn East Kalimantan, we have two large areas, namely in Paser and\nKutai Timur,\u201d said Sigit. He also noted that the Kutai Kartanegara\nregion, where the event took place, was formerly a transmigration\nsettlement area dating back to the 1980s. He added that these areas will\nbe driven towards increasing community welfare in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Viva Yoga Mauladi noted that many rubber farmers in\nIndonesia originate from transmigration areas, particularly in Sumatra\nand Kalimantan. He stated that the number of rubber farming households\nin Indonesia reaches approximately 2.1 million. \u201cThese rubber farmers\nnumber around 2.1 million households across Indonesia, most of whom are\nspread across Sumatra and Kalimantan, and a large portion reside in\ntransmigration areas,\u201d said Viva.<\/p>\n<p>He emphasised that this situation is a primary focus for the Ministry\nof Transmigration to improve the welfare of both current and former\ntransmigration residents. Viva noted that enhancing welfare requires\ncollaboration with other ministries, including the Ministry of\nAgriculture, BRIN (National Research and Innovation Agency), and the\nMinistry of Public Works. Additionally, the Ministry of Transmigration\nis exploring opportunities for intercropping patterns for rubber farmers\nin transmigration areas to supplement family incomes. \u201cWe could\nimplement intercropping programmes to increase monthly family income,\nusing crops such as maize, cardamom, and others that are suitable for\nthe soil conditions,\u201d Viva concluded.<\/p>",
