Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka has expressed government support for a sago school initiative in Asmat Regency, Papua, aimed at bolstering local food resources. The program seeks to strengthen the role of sago, a traditional staple food, in improving food security within the region. This initiative aligns with broader government efforts to diversify food sources and reduce reliance on external supplies. The VP emphasized the importance of developing local commodities to address nutritional needs and stimulate the local economy. The sago school will focus on sustainable sago cultivation, processing, and utilization. Officials hope the project will empower local communities and promote self-sufficiency in food production, particularly in areas where access to other food sources is limited. The government views the Asmat sago school as a model for similar initiatives across Papua and other regions of Indonesia.
