MUARA TEWEH, Central Kalimantan: Students of Vocational High
School 2, Muara Teweh in Central Kalimantan have successfully
invented a special breed of sweet corn that can grow on dry land.

Spokesman for Barito Utara Regency Muhammad Wa'il said that
the newly invented sweet corn had good prospects to enter the
market.

"The demand for sweet corn in Muara Teweh is high, so we have
to import from other regions. But, the amount still cannot meet
the demand," Muhammad said on Saturday.

Muhammad, however, gave little other information on the sweet
corn the students invented. -- Antara
