Indonesia’s horticultural sector is facing significant challenges due to climate change, specifically extreme weather and prolonged droughts caused by the El Niño phenomenon. These conditions are leading to water scarcity, impacting crop yields and posing a threat to national food security. In response, innovations in disease-resistant chili seeds are being developed to help farmers combat these harsh conditions. The aim is to ensure a consistent chili supply despite the increasingly unpredictable climate. These new seeds are expected to withstand disease outbreaks more effectively and maintain productivity even during extended dry spells. This development is crucial for supporting chili farmers across Indonesia and stabilizing the country’s chili production. Further details regarding the specific seed varieties and implementation strategies are expected to be released soon.
