On February 9, 2023, a celebratory Grand Harvest Ceremony for Catfish Cultivation was successfully held for plantation plasma farmers in Cikumpay Village, Purwakarta Regency, West Java. The harvest ceremony was attended by Muhammad Isnaeni, CSR Coordinator of PT Insight Investments Management (INSIGHT); Edwind Sinaga, President Director of the Plantation Pension Fund (Dana Pensiun Perkebunan \/ DAPENBUN); Ki Agus Riki Ridwan, President Director of PT Nusantara Niaga Argo (PT NNA); and Hamdani, operational field manager of the catfish cultivation site.<\/p>\n
This milestone represents the operational yield of business capital aid disbursed on November 15, 2022, by Yayasan Inspirasi Indonesia Membangun (YIIM) with the generous support of INSIGHT for plasma farmers associated with PT Perkebunan Nusantara VIII (PTPN VIII). Situated on productive agricultural land owned by PT NNA in Cikumpay Village, the assistance package provided 225 kilograms of catfish fingerlings (approximately 17,750 seeds) along with comprehensive feeds.<\/p>\n
The catfish grow-out farming program was established to diversify income streams and uplift the socioeconomic welfare of plantation plasma farmers. By making productive use of available estate land managed by PT NNA\u2014a corporate subsidiary of PTPN VIII\u2014the farmers were equipped with a high-yielding, sustainable alternative livelihood.<\/p>\n
Since the initial seed distribution by YIIM and INSIGHT, the plasma farmers have harvested an impressive 233 kilograms of fresh catfish. Following harvest, the yield was commercialized through seasoned catfish wholesalers supplying local pecel lele eateries, traditional warteg stalls, and neighborhood households. This initiative stimulated economic circulation across the Cikumpay area, generating an initial sales turnover of Rp 4,427,000 (four million four hundred twenty-seven thousand rupiah).<\/p>\n
This community empowerment program is an embodiment of INSIGHT's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) commitment in collaborative partnership with DAPENBUN. Furthermore, the initiative directly aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), notably SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 2 (Zero Hunger, Achieving Food Security and Improved Nutrition), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).<\/p>\n
YIIM alongside INSIGHT remains resolutely dedicated to spreading inspiration and sustainable development across Indonesia. Operating as a non-profit foundation, YIIM welcomes collaboration and contributions from all parties, ensuring every form of assistance is directly allocated to deserving communities. It is anticipated that this inter-institutional collaboration will expand further, strengthening social welfare and nurturing a nationwide culture of mutual solidarity.<\/p>\n
