The Lumajang farmers are taking advantage of the large export market demand for cardamom, with the Directorate General of Horticulture collaborating with the regency to release cardamom exports. The 17-ton export of cardamom, worth IDR 1.2 billion, is seen as a proud achievement for the regency and the start of an economic revival for Lumajang. However, there are challenges such as meeting export standards for color and water content, which the government and farmers are working to address.
