Promoting Sago Starch Utilization In Indonesia - TCP/INS/3503 (Phase I) and TCP/INS/3701 (Phase II)
It is estimated that by 2025 Indonesia will have a population of 300 million people and will require approximately 18 million tonnes of rice to feed its population. The increasing trend in rice consumption due to population growth rate in Indonesia in recent years, however, has raised concerns for the country’s food security. Sago starch consumption in Indonesia offers a significant opportunity to contribute to the elimination of food insecurity. Promoting awareness of sustainable sago palm production and starch extraction is the key to increasing sago starch utilization. Adding value to sago starch through downstream processing and linking the value added products to markets are also critical to the sustained growth of sago production. To address these challenges, the projects aimed to raise awareness and promote advocacy for the sustainable production and utilization of sago starch, strengthen the application of good agricultural practices (GAP) in sago palm production and promote good manufacturing practices (GMP) in sago starch production. The projects would also build capacities to promote the creation of small food-based sago starch enterprises by piloting integrated units for sago starch extraction and wastewater and hampas management and utilization in South Konawe and Konawe District, and Kendari City, South East Province
