Babinsa Koramil Biak Barat Help Locals Harvest Chili So Farmers Are Active

JAKARTA - Babinsa Koramil 1708-03/Biak Barat (BB) carries out territorial development in rural areas, namely helping residents in harvesting chilies in Warsansan village, North Biak District, Biak Numfor Regency. Member of Babinsa Koramil 1708-03/BB Sertu Nursi said Babinsa is an element of the implementation of the Koramil in charge of carrying out territorial development in rural areas.

"Chili is a seasonal plant that can be planted either in the highlands or lowlands, used to complement cooking spices," he said, quoted from ANTARA, Sunday, May 8.

According to Nursi, the chili harvest is carried out with an area of one hectare. "With this activity, we hope that farmers can be more enthusiastic at work," he said.

He explained that by helping his party, he could find out the problems and obstacles that occur when some chilies rot.

"We can also find out the condition of the inmates, including in the agricultural sector, as well as a form of concern and proof that the TNI really cares and is close to the community," he said.

Meanwhile, land owner Herman said thank you because Babinsa has eased the work and provided solutions to problems in harvesting.

"We really feel helped by Babinsa's presence in the field not only to help but Babinsa's direct support is very motivating and encouraging," he said.
