Gamal Nasir Director-General of Plantations, Ministry of Agriculture
We can be the world's largest cocoa producer

GAMAL Nasir has more than 30 years of experience working with the government's agricultural department. A graduate in agricultural economics from Padjajaran University, he believes that Indonesia produces many valuable commodities that can do well in the international market, and cocoa is one with the most potential among them.

Today, Indonesia is the world's third biggest producer of cocoa beans after Ghana and the Ivory Coast, producing more than 700,000 tons last year. Yet, Gamal feels that Indonesia can do better. Some 1.7 million hectares of cocoa plantations are spread throughout the archipelago, planted and managed by 1.6 million farmers. "This commodity has so much potential, we can probably be the second largest, or even the number one producer of cocoa beans in the world," he claimed.

Weaveworld Redux

Retired Swiss architect Bernhard Bart is the spirit behind the revitalization of the age-old songket or woven sarong, made only by the Minangkabau people of West Sumatra. Described by Bart as the worlds most exquisite woven cloth, songket today is almost extinct and can only be found in museums. Aided by local artists and weavers, Bart has produced replicas of antique songket, revolutionizing its weaving techniques in the process. It used to take two years to complete one piece but today a songket can be produced in just two months. Collectors now seek these beautiful cloths created by Bart and his colleagues, and they are exhibited in many shows and venues. What are the challenges of reviving the ancient art of weaving? A look at a new-old home industry by Tempo English Edition in West Sumatra.
