        "summary": "The Banten Provincial Government aims to achieve self-sufficiency in corn production by 2026, targeting a harvest of 52,000 tons of dry corn kernels to meet local feed mill demands and support national food security. With 14 operational feed mills requiring 4,000 tons of corn daily, the initiative involves developing 9,000 hectares of idle land in collaboration with farmers and the Ministry of Agriculture, leveraging Banten's proximity to the Jakarta agglomeration for logistical advantages. Governor Andra Soni emphasised utilising unused land for agriculture and commended stakeholders, including the police, for their support in this effort.",

The government is\ntargeting a corn harvest of 52,000 tons of dry kernels in 2026. Banten\nGovernor Andra Soni wants Banten to become a self-sufficient region and\na major national corn producer. He hopes that corn from Banten can meet\nthe needs of local industries and agriculture. \u201cAt least for our own\nneeds,\u201d he said during the Hybrid Corn Planting Movement for the\nMekarjaya Farmer Group, Maja Subdistrict, Lebak Regency, on Tuesday\n(21\/4\/2026). Additionally, Banten Province must strengthen its\nagriculture and livestock sectors to supply the needs of the Jakarta\nagglomeration. Banten\u2019s proximity to the agglomeration area can reduce\ntransportation or logistics costs, thereby enhancing the competitiveness\nof agricultural and livestock products. \u201cIf we become suppliers to the\nagglomeration area, we are advantaged in terms of distance and logistics\ncosts,\u201d he stated. The Banten Provincial Government will coordinate with\nregents, mayors, and developers for the utilisation of idle lands. He\nalso expressed thanks to landowners who have permitted their land to be\nused for agriculture. \u201cAppreciation for the utilisation of idle land for\nplanting corn and other food crops. Thank you to the landowners who have\ngiven permission for their land to be used. Thank you to the Banten\nPolice who have inspired us to plant corn,\u201d he added. Meanwhile, Acting\nHead of the Banten Provincial Agriculture Office, Nasir, mentioned that\nthe local government will continue to increase its national contribution\nto food security, including in the Banten region. \u201cNot just rice, but\nalso corn. Banten Province is also starting to develop sugarcane,\u201d he\nexplained. According to him, Banten Province currently has 14 livestock\nfeed factories that require 4,000 tons of corn per day. Supported by the\nMinistry of Agriculture, the Banten Provincial Government, together with\nfarmers and other parties, will develop 9,000 hectares of idle land for\ncorn planting. \u201cThe production target we hope for is 52,000 tons of dry\ncorn kernels,\u201d he revealed.<\/p>",
