On Tuesday, December 21, 2021, in Pace Village, Silo District, Jember Regency, an activity was carried out for the Submission of Certification for Local Avocado Varieties from Jember and Planting Coffee Trees.
This activity is an initiative of the Jember Regency Government, and involves several related parties as an invitation, one of which is the Indonesian Coffee and Cocoa Research Center.
The Indonesian Coffee and Cocoa Research Center is here as a provider of coffee seed technology. Where the continued robusta coffee seeds are distributed, these are superior seeds which have the advantage that the rootstock is resistant to nematodes.
The first planting of Robusta Connect Coffee was opened and attended by the Regent of Jember, and the planting was carried out together with the Head of TPHP Jember Regency, Puslitkoka Representatives, and the Silo Sub-district Head, as well as farmers who are members of the Suka Maju Gapoktan group and several farmers around Silo Village.
The Suka Maju Gapoktan is one of the groups that receive the continued Robusta coffee seed assistance from the Jember Regency government, among other Gapoktans. The total assistance for continued robusta coffee seeds distributed by the government of Jember Regency to several farmer groups in Jember is 170,000 seeds.
It is hoped that with this activity, the synergy between several related parties to support the progress of Jember Robusta coffee is getting better, to guard the realization of the Jember slogan as the Best Robusta Coffee Center.
