Medan Mayor Bobby Nasution asked for land assets belonging to the Medan City Government, North Sumatra, both in the middle and on the edge of the city to be planted with various types of commodities to support regional-level inflation control.
"This means that our land can function properly because we have a variety of up to tens of hectares. So it's a shame if we don't use it," Bobby said as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, May 4.
His party has instructed 21 sub-district heads and 151 village heads in Medan to find out about land assets belonging to the Medan City Government during a weekly meeting last week.
Data from the Regional Financial and Asset Management Agency of Medan City in 2022 states that the total land parcels belonging to the Medan City Government are 1,156 parcels, of which 817 parcels have been certified.
"In addition to cooperation between horticultural-producing regions, among them has been established with Dairi Regency to overcome inflation in Medan City," he explained.
