Students invent new breed of corn

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
