At present the existing production has not been able to meet food needs in East Kalimantan which is mostly still supplied from outside the region.

further conveyed, East Kalimantan continues to optimize all existing resources to increase food production, especially in terms of land use for the development of commodities from agriculture. For this reason, it is necessary to increase the capacity of agricultural resources to encourage the achievement of agricultural commodity production to increase, so that the production target can be achieved to meet food needs.

BPTP of East Kalimantan as an extension of the Ministry of Agriculture will play a role in accompanying the application of location-specific technology with regions in East Kalimantan, one of which is through a technological recommendation book that has been compiled. Thus, it is expected to support agricultural development in the Province of East Kalimantan and can be used by agricultural stakeholders to be able to encourage increased production and improve the welfare of farmers.
