Goal

To support farming communities and forest dwellers from Halmahera and Ternate. Roan Mitra Nusantara mobilizes young producers from across the region to pursue local business activities, by empowering them to build opportunities and work together. Roas Mitra also promotes the cultural, historic and potential economic value of local food biodiversity. One of these local foods is Bunga Telang, which has been listed on the Slow Food Ark of Taste (Ternate Butterfly Pea). Currently, there are over 200 farmers who work with Roas Mitra, producing coconut oil, sago starch, kenari nut, nutmeg and clove.
