Hi Mr Andjar Prasetyo, I have one question ^So far, sweet potatoes in the
province of Papua have only provided traditional benefits. The results of the
research say that it is necessary to increase people^s interest in planting, so if
this interest is increased, will it have an overall impact on the development of
sweet potatoes in the province of Papua?^
Thank you..

Thank you and appreciation to you for the question.
People in Papua Province basically have a high adaptability to their ecosystem, but
resistance to modern technology also has a high role as well. therefore the speed of
adaptation in intensification, requires great effort. From several studies we have
conducted in Papua, their capabilities are still far below the expectations of the
applied technology. Intensification can be implemented if the indigenous people
accept the process as part of their lifestyle.
