Knowledge Transfer & Extension – Maluku

Good news comes from KM 7, Durjela Village in the Aru Islands, Maluku, where Ibu Misbar’s family is currently harvesting Batara cucumber varieties from their cultivation field.

The cultivation activities managed together with her family have started to show promising results. Through regular crop maintenance and strong family cooperation in managing the land, the cucumber plants have grown well and entered the harvesting stage.

So far, more than 50 sacks of cucumbers have been harvested, with an average weight of around 20 kilograms per sack. The total harvest has currently exceeded 1 ton and still has the potential to increase as the harvesting period is not yet over.

“The important thing is to keep taking good care of the plants. We are grateful that the results are starting to show during harvest time,” said Ibu Misbar.

In addition to the large harvest quantity, the quality of the cucumbers has also created opportunities for better market value. Although market prices are currently around IDR 100,000 per sack, the abundant harvest remains a strong source of motivation for the family to continue developing their cultivation activities.
