The government is offering three millions hectares of land for plantations after revoking 251 licenses from companies deemed to be failing in managing the land.
“Especially for sugar cane, related to our sugar self-sufficiency program,” Forestry Minister Zulkifli Hasan said in Jakarta on Thursday as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.
He added that rubber trees and oil palms were the next priorities.
The ministry's director general for planology, Bambang Supijanto, said the land was part of forested areas ready for conversion into plantations.
“Most of them are situated in Central Kalimantan,” Bambang said, adding that the rest were spread across other in Indonesia except Java Island.
