    In running a business if you always rely on outside help, it will not grow strong and mature.

    as indonesian, the government already problematic as it is, farmer as person never get any support and if there is monetary or any support, most of the time, the money will only dissapear midway, goes to someone pocket and they will never get any punishment as the law only apply to the weak, not only that, farmers also need to deal with local mafia that limit the distribution of fertilizer and others things that farmers need.
    indonesia is rich with resource, be it human resource or natural resource, it's just be it the government, and the people themself just doesn't want to move forward as a whole, they held each other and just want to exploit each other, as long as the people is like this, this place won't be able to move forward, one of the way to fix the people is the education, because the education in indonesia is messed up right now, worse than before, just see the late gen z and gen alpha in indonesia, some of them even can't read even if they already in junior high.

    It is not so much that the demand for high-quality Indonesian tea has dimmed, it is the lucrative oil-palm plantations that have taken over. It is a thuggish industry and many growers have been strong-armed to sell their farms and orchards or to switch to oil palm cultivation. Oil palm plantations are monoculture deserts. They deplete and damage the land, destroy biodiversity and harm the native cultures of Indonesia...all to feed the 'appetite' for oil palm products of the EU. Much of the oil palm output goes to produce margarine, which is actually unhealthy for human beings to consume. The Indonesian agroforestry interests and political and cultural imperatives find this quite 'useful' in their quest to subdue the Papua-New Guinean tribes, seize their land, colonise it with Muslim farmers from further South and introduce oil palm cultivation to reap GDP. It's far more vicious - and diabolical - than most folks could understand.
