The Natuna Regency Government remains committed to advancing the agricultural sector through a range of initiatives, including improving farming infrastructure, promoting agricultural technology, strengthening extension services, and expanding market access for local agricultural products.
The distribution of subsidized fertilizer is one of the government’s concrete efforts to help farmers reduce production costs and support sustainable agricultural development.
