BackOrganic Aquaculture Program: From Upstream to Downstream
In 2010, the Company initiated an organic inland aquaculture program using the tarp pool method in several operational areas. This program was designed as a full-cycle initiative, starting with training and mentoring in pond construction, feed production, cultivation, and pest-disease control. The program successfully fostered a new downstream economic venture: a pecel lele(catfish-based dishes) restaurant and snacks made from catfish in Gajah Mati Village, Musi Banyuasin. Over time, program partner groups introduced an innovation in bio-feed production, reducing production costs by up to 30%. To strengthen the collaboration network among program groups, the Koperasi Kolega Mesracooperative was established in Babat Banyuasin Village, Banyuasin, along with network groups in other areas.
