”From rice importer to self sufficiency”, it was written in one of gold medal

Director-general of FAO, called Soeharto as a symbol for International agriculture
development. In comparison with our situation, now Indonesia becomes one of
the biggest rice importing Country, Ironically, doesn’t it ? according to this
situation, why don’t we learn from the past ?. Based on our experience in
handling this problem, at last 4 steps required to build settled condition in the
domain of agriculture. The steps are, intensification, extensification,
diversification and the last is rehabilitation.
Intensification is the why to increase agriculture product quality by
cultivate seed, fertilize farm and eradicate pests. after choosing the seeds farmer
is expected to do seeding with a good technique as well as fertilization.
Fertilization seems modest nevertheless without appropriate portion, it can make
unusual growth for our plants. The last part of intensification is pests eradication.
The Farmer can eradicate pests by spraying pesticide according to the operating
guide as a result, intensification is a basic principle of agriculture which need
assiduity and tenacity.
The second steps, in order to raise Agriculture Product in number and
quality are extensificaton. Extensification means to extend agriculture farm. The
Farmer can extend their farm by open a new area of a forest, opening a new
area of the forest can be done two ways; Chopping down the forest and the other
ones by burning a cortain area of the forest. By Chopping down the trees, a
Farmer shall Replace the trees with replanting a new seeds of the trees, Hence it
does not brake down the reservation of the forest. If the Farmer choose to burn a
certain area of the forest, he must ensure that combustion will not extend to the
whole forest and endanger human life.
The Third step if raising agriculture Production is diversification,
diversification means to cultivate more than one kinds of plants. The Farmer can
diversify his farm with planting another crops around, such as spinach course,
mustard, cannot, etc. Crops it means that he will double his earnings.
The last step is rehabilitation.In order to keep the land fertile for the next
cultivation, The farmer should rehabilitate his farm by giving fertilizer hopefully,
the land fertile is always in standard condition therefore, after harvest, The
farmer can start to cultivate another plants without worrying about soil fertile and
its effect.
Through circumstantial contemplation, we can conclude that frame of
emulating advance countries, not depend on our industry, mining and Tourism
sector only, nevertheless we can optimize our Agriculture sector by mainly
concern with 4 major steps; Intensification, extensification, diversification and
rehabilitation as a result all of us expect that we, Indonesian Nation can redo a
golden period of our agriculture, 22 years ago, that brought our country in
property.
