"To participants, I hope you can become today's farmers by using elements of technology. Keep the spirit to all," she exclaimed.

Seed Development and Plant Protection Center Technical Implementation Unit Head Iwan Indriyanto added that 502 trees were distributed for the participants to be planted. Two of them are typical Jakarta trees, Alpukat Cipedak and Duku Condet.
