        "content": "<p>REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA \u2013 The potential of nutmeg in Ngada Regency,\nEast Nusa Tenggara, is beginning to be developed as a new economic\nsource for village women. Hitherto, nutmeg produce in the area has\ngenerally been sold in raw form with limited economic value, although\nthe commodity has significant opportunities to be processed into\nhigher-value products.<\/p>\n<p>Through a business clustering approach based on local potential,\nunderprivileged women are encouraged to develop enterprises from\ncultivation, processing, to marketing of nutmeg products. This scheme is\nconsidered capable of strengthening family economies while opening up\nsustainable business opportunities in rural areas.<\/p>\n<p>The programme is implemented by PT Permodalan Nasional Madani\ntogether with the Ministry of Women\u2019s Empowerment and Child Protection\nas part of strengthening women\u2019s economy based on local potential.<\/p>\n<p>PNM\u2019s President Director, Kindaris, stated that women play an\nimportant role in driving family and community economies. Therefore,\nwomen\u2019s empowerment is one of the company\u2019s main focuses in creating\nsustainable social impacts, especially in rural areas.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the development of the nutmeg business cluster in\nNgada is expected to provide broader opportunities for women to grow by\nutilising their local natural resources.<\/p>\n<p>Through the programme, ultra-micro female entrepreneurs, particularly\nPNM Mekaar customers, receive assistance from business capacity\nbuilding, nutmeg processing, product packaging, to market access. This\nassistance is expected to improve product quality while expanding\nbusiness opportunities for rural communities.<\/p>\n<p>The development of the nutmeg cluster is also seen as aligned with\nthe One Village One Product (OVOP) concept, namely village economic\ndevelopment based on competitive local flagship products. With this\npattern, each region is expected to be able to optimise its natural\npotential into a new source of economic growth for the community.<\/p>",
