With a good collaboration between the local government, central and BSI will provide maximum results to farmers.
He hopes, what has been done by BSI can be followed by entrepreneurs or other banks so as to improve the welfare of farmers.
He said that in 2021 the exchange rate of farmers in West Sumatra will increase by 7.9 points compared to 2020 and hopes that 2022 will be even better so that the welfare of farmers will increase.
The highest exchange rate for farmers is the plantation sector, which is 300 percent because now there is a focus on developing galo-galo honey and its quality is one of the best in the world.
"Indeed, the highest inflation is in West Sumatra, but for the people, it is not felt because the economic growth of West Sumatra is above five percent," he said.
