        "summary": "Indonesian state-owned plantation firm PTPN I is collaborating with the central government to cultivate sorghum for bioenergy, starting at its Rejosari estate in South Lampung. The initiative was launched during a visit by the Deputy Minister for Investment and Hilirisasi, Todotua Pasaribu, who stressed the urgency of developing plant-based bioenergy. Local government officials voiced support, highlighting the project's potential to drive regional economic growth and solidify Lampung's role as a national hub for green energy.",
        "content": "<p>Deputy Minister for Investment and Hilirisasi and Deputy Head of the\nInvestment Coordinating Board (BKPM) Todotua Pasaribu on Tuesday\ninspected the PTPN I Regional 7 land at Rejosari Estate, Natar, South\nLampung, which is slated for sorghum planting. \u2018Food and energy\nresilience are presidential programmes that require acceleration due to\ntheir extremely high urgency. The only option is bioenergy processed\nfrom plants. PTPN I, as a state-owned plantation enterprise, has the\nmost ready resources to meet this demand. That is the reason we are\ncollaborating with PTPN I on this programme,\u2019 said Todotua. PTPN I\nPresident Director Teddy Yunirman Danas welcomed the significant trust\nplaced by the central government. In his remarks, Teddy affirmed PTPN\nI\u2019s commitment as part of the Nusantara Plantation Holding to optimise\nassets and land to support national energy self-sufficiency, one of\nwhich is through integrated sorghum cultivation. \u2018PTPN I is ready to\nshoulder this mandate. Planting sorghum at Rejosari Estate is a\nstrategic step and a concrete contribution by PTPN I in supporting the\ngovernment\u2019s bioenergy-based downstreaming initiative. We are not only\npreparing potential land but also ensuring that the management of this\nsorghum cultivation is carried out optimally, efficiently, and\nsustainably so that it can quickly produce the renewable energy raw\nmaterials the country needs,\u2019 stressed Teddy. Lampung Governor Rahmat\nMirzani Djausal also expressed his support for the selection of Lampung\nProvince, particularly the PTPN I Regional 7 land, as one of the\nstarting points for this strategic project. He expressed hope that the\nsynergy between the central government, regional government, and the\nstate-owned plantation company could become a new economic driver for\nthe surrounding community while strengthening Lampung\u2019s position as a\nnational food barn and green energy hub.<\/p>",
