Context and Project Objective

The Knowledge Transfer & Extension Program – North Maluku supported by East West Seed Indonesia (Cap Panah Merah), aims to strengthen farmers’ capacity through training, demonstration plots, and Farmer Field Day/Expo activities as platforms for learning, practicing, and sharing successful farming experiences.

In 2025, the program expanded to Sofifi, Subaim, and Sangihe, bringing the total coverage to seven areas: Pohuwato (Sulawesi), Jailolo, Tobelo, Sofifi, Sangihe, Talaud, and Subaim. This expansion reflects the commitment to broaden farmers’ access to agricultural knowledge and technologies in North Maluku and surrounding areas.

• Improved knowledge and skills of farmers in implementing Good Agricultural Practices (GAP)
• Strengthened local economies through increased agricultural productivity
• Improved community nutrition resilience through more efficient and sustainable farming practices.
