Wow! Agricultural Machinery Helps Farmers Reduce Cultivation Costs by up to 75%

PT Sharprindo Dinamika Prima, a manufacturing company that produces air compressors and various types of agricultural machinery, is confirming its commitment to supplying agricultural machinery and equipment (alsintan) for national food production as part of Indonesia’s food self-sufficiency and food security targets.

Chief Executive Officer of PT Sharprindo Dinamika Prima (Shark), Jusmin Suwoko stated that Shark is developing alsintan products for post-harvest operations such as two-wheel and four-wheel tractors. These products can achieve time efficiency of 80-90% and cost savings of up to 75-85%.

When cultivating one hectare of plantation land, costs traditionally amount to IDR 3.5 million, but by using alsintan equipment, this requirement is reduced to only IDR 850,000. Shark continues to encourage manufacturing cooperation with the government in developing agricultural machinery products to support national food production, including the implementation of Indonesian National Standards (SNI).

The discussion with Sharprindo Dinamika Prima’s Chief Executive Officer, Jusmin Suwoko, explored the role of agricultural machinery in driving agricultural production towards food self-sufficiency targets.
