In Indonesia, the agricultural sector is the mainstay of national development with a contribution of around 13-14% to national GDP and has the potential to absorb 30% of the workforce, especially in rural areas. It is estimated that around 25 million small farmers play an important role in supplying national and global food.
This underlines the important role of the agricultural sector in driving national economic development. Therefore, the company providing innovative agricultural solutions to increase crop productivity and sustainability, Syngenta Indonesia continues to be committed to supporting the agricultural sector and ensuring a sustainable future and realizing prosperity for farmers in Indonesia.
Syngenta Group CEO Jeff Rowe said Indonesia plays a significant role in Syngenta’s global strategy. Therefore, his party is committed to advancing food security, increasing productivity, and encouraging the welfare of farmers in Indonesia.
“By collaborating with local partners and stakeholders to promote innovation and adoption of sustainable practices, we are committed to making a meaningful contribution to the growth and resilience of the agricultural sector in Indonesia in facing future challenges and opportunities,” said Rowe at the Intercontinental Hotel, in Jakarta, Thursday (5/9).
In addition to the enormous growth potential, Syngenta is also aware of the various challenges facing the agricultural sector. The challenges facing the sustainable agriculture sector include climate change, water scarcity, declining soil health, increasing pest pressure, financial constraints, and limited access to agricultural materials and markets.
In addition, Rowe also said that Indonesia has an urgent need to improve food security due to its large population and vulnerability to climate change.

On the same occasion, Syngenta Indonesia Country Head of Sustainability & Corporate Affairs, Fainta Susilo Negoro, said that Syngenta has launched a number of major breakthrough technologies in the sustainable agriculture sector. For example, Fainta explained that there is Plinazolin technology that offers extraordinary protection against Lepidoptera, one of the most dangerous pests affecting Indonesian rice fields.
“In addition, the Adepidyn technology contained in Miravis Duo provides strong and long-lasting fungal disease management, helping farmers minimize losses from pests and diseases, which generally cause losses of 10-23 percent of crop yields each year,” said Fainta.
Fainta also emphasized that Syngenta also continues to be committed to innovation supported by strategic partnerships with local stakeholders. A prime example of such innovation is the “10 Ton Community”. This community is an initiative developed in collaboration with the Department of Agriculture throughout Indonesia. (N-2)
