Lampung Governor: 2027 Target for 2,651 Villages to Produce Liquid Organic Fertiliser
This is one form of reserve for villages as well. If there is a shortage of chemical fertiliser, we can still remain productive through liquid organic fertiliser produced by the villages.
Bandarlampung (ANTARA) - Lampung Governor Rahmat Mirzani Djausal targets that by 2027, 2,651 villages in Lampung Province will be able to produce and use liquid organic fertiliser.
“We target that next year, precisely in 2027, the liquid organic fertiliser development programme in villages in Lampung Province will be completed. And all villages, or a total of 2,651 villages, will all be able to produce and use liquid organic fertiliser,” said Lampung Governor Rahmat Mirzani Djausal in Bandarlampung on Tuesday.
He stated that with 2,651 villages in Lampung Province able to produce and use liquid organic fertiliser, the productivity of all commodities planted in the villages can increase.
“This is one form of reserve for villages as well. If there is a shortage of chemical fertiliser, we can still remain productive through liquid organic fertiliser produced by the villages. Thus, there is no need to worry about maintaining productivity in the agricultural sector in each village,” he said.
Then, in 2026, the Lampung Provincial Government will continue developing liquid organic fertiliser in 1,500 villages in its region.
“The regional government’s target this year is for this liquid organic fertiliser to reach and be used on one million hectares of agricultural land in the villages. So, with this, positive impacts such as increased commodity prices, higher production, and cheaper operations will occur, so that the income of village communities, especially farmers, will also improve in the villages in Lampung,” he said.
According to him, the bio or liquid organic fertiliser will have positive impacts for village communities, such as improving soil structure, lowering fertiliser production costs, reducing dependence on chemical fertiliser by 30 per cent, and increasing plant productivity by 25 per cent.
