Jakarta, TAMBANG, - Continuing last year's success, national gold mining company PT J Resources Asia Pasifik, Tbk (PSAB) through its subsidiary PT J Resources Bolaang Mongondow (JRBM) won the Subroto 2024 Award in the field of Innovative Community Development and Empowerment (PPM) in the category of Economic Independence.
This award from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) was given to JRBM because of its success in assisting cocoa farmers under its guidance to develop fertilizers from biological natural resources. After using biological fertilizers, in addition to farmers being able to save around 80% on the cost of purchasing chemical fertilizers, another advantage of biological resource fertilizers is that they help reduce carbon emissions in the agricultural sector. This environmentally friendly and low-cost agriculture accelerates towards sustainable agriculture.
“This program can be successful thanks to consistent mentoring by the PPM team. After understanding how to make natural fertilizers, farmers can do it independently. It is hoped that this understanding can be transmitted to other cocoa farmers outside the fostered group, including food crop farmers around the company. Through this program, the company consistently implements the ESG concept in terms of Environment and Social, “said JRBM President Director Anang Rizkani Noor.
JRBM's success is a continuation of the development of cocoa farmers over the past five years, which last year also received the Subroto Award for the category of increasing community income.
This year's Subroto Award was held to welcome the 79th Mining and Energy Day, and also as a tribute to Professor Subroto, Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources 1978-1988. The Subroto Award is the highest award for people who have advanced the energy and mineral resources sector in Indonesia in the past year.
