PT Perusahaan Perdagangan Indonesia (PPI) held a demonstration spray to control pests on rice fields while handing over agricultural equipment assistance, in Ngep Village, Karang Ploso District, Malang, East Java, on Sunday, November 20.

PPI, which has a pesticide and insecticide brand, namely Dharmabrand, sprayed land there through Dharmabas products.

This activity was witnessed directly by the local Farmers Group with the aim of seeing the real results of the PPI superior product test, with implementation that still pays attention to health protocols.

"Not only here, we will also hold similar activities to help farmers at other points who need solutions to control pests," said Ike Prima, TJSL PPI manager, in a written statement.

"Today's program is a program of Social and Environmental Responsibility of PT PPI, an activity that is PPI's commitment to sustainable development by providing benefits to the economy, social, environment as well as law and governance with more integrated, directed, measurable principles, and can be accounted for and is part of the company's business approach," he continued.

In addition to controlling pests, PPI also provides socialization and education to farmers about Padi Plant Cultivation and Plant Protection from Plant Disruption Organisms. The socialization was conveyed by POPT Karang Ploso Nurhadi. Meanwhile, the submission of Dharmabrand's product knowledge was conveyed by Retno Wulansari, PPI Agricultural Production Facilities Manager.

PPI then provided agricultural equipment assistance to the Karang Ploso Farmers Group which was symbolically handed over by Branch Manager of PPI Malang Branch Mahmudi and Manager of TJSL PPI Ike Prima. It is hoped that this assistance can help farmer groups to facilitate land processing and also increase agricultural production.

Thus, the escort from PPI is very complete, starting from spraying application, dissemination of knowledge about Cultivation of Paddies and Plant Protection from Plant Disruption Organisms, as well as agricultural equipment assistance.

"Hopefully the harvest of local farmers can increase and can be imitated by other farmers," said Branch Manager of PPI Malang Branch Mahmudi.

Dharmabrand PPI itself is one of the mainstay PPI products that has been present for more than 30 years. Dharmabrand is an agricultural support product so that its development will continue to be carried out better, especially in continuing the transformation of trading in Food Holding.

In the near future, PPI will launch a new product "Dharmatomil 40 SP" which is a systemic insecticide made from metomil activity to control pests in horticultural plants.

Dharmabrand grew because of farmers. Farmers enable us to grow and the loyalty of farmers is very valuable for us, spur our enthusiasm to always innovate, adapt ourselves, and provide the best service whatever the conditions are," concluded Mahmudi.
