Indonesia's Minister of Agriculture, Syahrul Yasin Limpo, has emphasized the importance of innovating and implementing technology to enhance agricultural performance on the country's dry lands. Dry lands cover 99.65 million hectares and offer a significant potential that needs to be optimized, he said. The minister pointed out that mechanization can not only increase productivity but also reduce crop yield losses from 13% to 3%-5%. During a trial of Modern Agricultural Mechanization Technology Innovation for Dry Land, various agricultural mechanization technologies, including array-type planting drones, cassava planters, and potato planting tools, were tested. These technologies are designed to increase efficiency and productivity on large tracts of land with limited human resources. The trial also showcased an integrated dry land agricultural area that employs modern principles and technology, including smart irrigation and greenhouses.
