Donomulyo Potentially Be a Center For Cocoa Again

Malang - DMC: District Donomulyo that used to be one of the centers of cocoa is currently pursued back into cocoa base in Malang. The Government, through the Department of Agriculture and Plantation, also has taken concrete by spreading the seeds of cacao to the people who want to plant cocoa. Some time ago, the Department of Agriculture and Plantation Malang Regency also has provided as many as 35 thousand cocoa seedlings for free. The assertion was made by Regent H. Rendra Krishna when performing activities in the District Donomulyo Anjangsana yesterday afternoon (27/10). The event which took place in Building Trisula was attended by various elements of society Donomulyo, such as religious leaders, gapoktan, youth, teachers until the PKK.

In Malang, there are approximately 1515 hectares of arable land that has the potential for cocoa, one of which is in District Donomulyo. Other areas are Sumbermanjing Wetan, Tirtoyudo, and Ampelgading. Regent also supports all of these steps. Because not only the governments who have lost interest to develop the potential of the local area. One resident had even voiced that Donomulyo cocoa crop can be planted again. "I hope our region to be noticed because of the potential for the cultivation of cocoa," said the origin Misdun Purworejo Village.

In addition, the regents also confirmed that cocoa will continue to be driven productivity through the steps on an ongoing basis and support infrastructure. For example fixes the economy the way for smooth entry and access to tourist attractions. Since it was also noted there are eight tourist beaches along the 19 miles that are in this district. Often it is becoming one of the obstacles in improving the economy in a region. Related to the cultivation of cocoa, confirmed by the regents, commodity price fluctuations of cocoa has fallen alias that is not too stable. "Commodities will be beneficial for the economy Donomulyo and surrounding communities," he said. The reason is certainly because Donomulyo region is one area that has a fairly extensive forest land for cultivation of cocoa, which is about 13 876 hectares. "Not only cocoa, this area has many other potential from agriculture and forests as well as tourism ranging from rice, corn, coconut, banana, cassava and forest products," explained Drs. A. Rizali, MM, local subdistrict. As is known, cocoa from Malang regency became one of the best products in Inodnesia as well as abroad. But the post-reform (1998), the potential for a superior product that was developed PTPN XII in a number of areas in Malang Regency was running again.

Polemic problem setting sights also expressed by some residents Kedungsalam. As is known, before entering the area of tourism, there are 2 pieces of window. The first booth is owned by PD Services Yasa, while the other counters are managed by LKDPH. As a result, villagers felt their income was reduced because of the tourists began to reluctantly anchored to Ngiyep as charged double entry fees. Not only merchants and service providers are disadvantaged, rural income from a place that started in the open since 1913 is also considerably reduced. Outpouring of the heart is spoken by Sutarmadji, chairman of the Village Kedungsalam BPD.

Regent said, should the two sides could meet to negotiate this to be resolved. Because the result of this polemic, tourism potential will be reduced this can be detrimental to all. "Later that both negotiate so this problem does not drag on, I'll also have to be invited in these negotiations," said the regent.
