Indonesia Explores Camelina to Improve Farmer Income and Energy Production

In Indonesia, the Yogyakarta Forestry and Horticulture Agency, in partnership with Waterland Asia Investments Pte. Ltd, has planted camelina shrubs in the hopes of creating an income and energy generation project for local farmers. In an effort to diversify away from food crops, and increase farmer incomes, the agency has donated 300 hectares with an option to add 1,800 more. Waterland Asia Investments has agreed to purchase the seeds from local farmers.
