One of the interesting areas to study is Belanti Siam village, Pandih Batu sub-district, Pulang Pisau district, and Central Kalimantan. In this area, most of the population has been sucked into farmer groups who are developing hybrid rice cultivation and have also enjoyed the harvest through the food estate program.
