SGN Works on 75 Thousand Hectares of Sugarcane Land, Strengthens Sugar Raw Material Supply

PT Sinergi Gula Nusantara (SGN) is expanding sugarcane planting area to 74,984 hectares by June 2026, spread across Java (72,261 hectares) and Sulawesi (2,723 hectares). This move is part of a strategy to strengthen the upstream sector to maintain raw material availability and support national sugar self-sufficiency. PT SGN Corporate Secretary Yunianta said land extensification is a key pillar in transforming the sugar industry. “By June 2026, PT SGN together with partner farmers has successfully developed nearly 75 thousand hectares of sugarcane area. This achievement shows a joint commitment to expanding the national sugarcane production base while strengthening raw material supply security,” he said, Saturday (6/20). The program is carried out through partnerships with farmers, technical assistance, use of superior varieties, and land optimization. SGN is optimistic that these ongoing efforts can improve raw material availability and the competitiveness of the national sugar industry. https://kabarbaik.co/sgn-garap-75-ribu-hektare-lahan-tebu-pasokan-bahan-baku-gula-kian-kuat/

Crazy, seventy-five thousand hectares. That’s insanely huge. If the harvest fails, bye-bye cheap sugar.

Local farmers must be stoked, that kind of support is super important. Hopefully the outcome doesn't get embezzled.

Hopefully this actually works out and isn't just some ceremony. Sugar self-sufficiency has been talked about for ages, like a pipe dream.

Now this is how it should be-government’s gotta be firm in handling our own food supply. Don’t keep relying on imports.
