REGENCY – In an effort to support farmers in Potoya Village, Sigi Regency,
Global Wakaf – ACT has held supervisory activities. The Global Wakaf-ACT team taught
the farmers how to use fertilizers and other agricultural chemicals. "The team assisted the farmers in applying fertilizers and spraying pesticides
and disinfectants on plants cultivated on a 12.5-hectare land by 14
farmers," said Muh. Syahrir Ramadhana, a Productive Agricultural Waqf companion
in Potoya Village on Monday (1/10/2022).
The team also
helped the farmers irrigate and plow the land as well as plant corn and peanut
seeds. The results of the Productive Agricultural Waqf program are already felt
positively by the farmers.
“Previously, the farmers
had difficulty getting capital for their farming, and the land on which they
cultivate the crops was full of weed. In addition, the farmers couldn’t access
clean water to irrigate the land. Alhamdulillah, we have disbursed capital
assistance, helped them plow the land, and dug a shallow well equipped with
pipelines to irrigate the farmland,” said Syahrir.
The crops such as
corn, eggplant, and chili have grown well thanks to the assistance. Syahrir
hoped that this program can continue helping farmers so that they can reap
maximum yield. “We hope that this program will lead to a better result that
will reach maximum yield,” hoped Syahrir. []
