According to Amran, IPB and its alumni have human resource capabilities and the development of superior seeds with one of the highest yields in Indonesia. Therefore, he wants the land clearing to be able to produce productivity above 10 tonnes per hectare. “Today I had an honored guest, the chairman of the IPB Alumni.
