Banten Police Chief Reveals Bulog Absorbed 2,997 Tonnes of Harvested Corn in 2025
The Banten Police Department (Polda Banten) conducted a synchronous corn planting drive in the first quarter of 2026 in Kampung Kabayan, Mekar Baru Village, Kopo District, Serang Regency. On this occasion, Banten Police Chief Inspector General Hengki revealed the achievements of the corn-planting programme for national food self-sufficiency.
The event was also attended by Banten Governor Andra Soni, Deputy Chief of Police for Banten Brigadier General Hendra Wirawan, Commander of 064/Maulana Yusuf Brigadier General TNI Daru Cahyadi Soeprapto, and Serang Police Chief AKBP Andri Kurniawan, on Saturday (7 March 2026). The activities were followed by a Zoom Meeting chaired directly by the Chief of Police, General Listyo Sigit Prabowo.
Hengki said that Polda Banten and its ranks continue to accelerate the “1 Village 2 Hectares” acceleration programme. Of the total potential land area of 2,371 hectares, 1,786.9 hectares have been cultivated, or 75.36 per cent of the target.
Polda Banten also collaborated with the Banten Provincial Agriculture Office through the Expansion of Planting Areas (PAT) programme spanning 631 hectares, which has been fully realised to date (100 per cent).
“This achievement has a positive impact on increasing corn production and also contributes to Bulog’s absorption of the harvest in 2025. From a target absorption of 2,863 tonnes, the realised absorption reached 2,997.10 tonnes or 104.68 per cent, thus surpassing the target,” Hengki explained.
Hengki said that the simultaneous corn planting activity is part of a shared commitment to support the national food self-sufficiency programme.
“As part of the police’s duties, Polda Banten not only maintains security and public order, but also actively supports national development programmes, particularly in the food security sector,” Hengki stated.
Entering Q1 2026, the simultaneous corn planting activity was again conducted across the jurisdiction of Polda Banten with a total land area of 119 hectares spread across the ranks of Polresta and Police Resor.
