JAKARTA - The Bank Indonesia (BI) Representative Office (KPw) in Papua Province said that in developing superior commodities, a strong synergy is needed, starting from the center, province, district/city and other forkopimda, so that the sustainability economy can be realized.

Deputy of KPw BI Papua Province Thomy Andrias said there must be synergy, because this concerns economic sustainability.

"Like in Bring Village, Kemtuk District, Jayapura Regency where this area turns out to be a lot of cocoa potential," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, September 16.

According to Thomy, his party always supports the development of leading commodities in the Land of Papua, because this is one of the efforts to provide new sources of income, especially for Papua Province.

"So we see that in Jayapura Regency there is the potential for chocolate, but we will see more deeply what can be developed," he said.

He explained, in seeing this potential, it must be seen from upstream to downstream, so that the sustainability economy can be realized and created.

"Therefore, a joint synergy is needed both from banks, the government and other forkopimda, so that the potential for superior commodities becomes a reality and production increases," he said.

Acting Governor of Papuaurs Limbong said that the banking sector, in this case BI, could continue to participate in assisting the government in developing Papua.

"We hope that the cooperation that has been established with Bank Indonesia so far can continue, especially regarding the superior commodities of Papua," he concluded.
