Supporting Agricultural Collectives Through Sustainable Forest Honey and Community Health Outreach

PONTIANAK, WEST KALIMANTAN (June 28, 2026) — Meaningful community development thrives when sustainable rural enterprise meets direct public engagement. PT Mayawana Persada demonstrated this commitment through its active participation in the Indonesian Farmers Association (Himpunan Kerukunan Tani Indonesia / HKTI) Fun Walk, held at the Sultan Syarif Abdurrahman Sports Complex in Pontianak.

The event served as a dynamic gathering for the company, regional farmer collectives, and the wider urban public. Operating an interactive outreach pavilion, PT Mayawana Persada highlighted two core initiatives: commercial market access for community-harvested Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) and free on-site diagnostic healthcare services.

Introducing Madu Maya and Sustainable Non-Timber Livelihoods

A central highlight of the pavilion was the showcase of "Madu Maya," an artisanal, pure forest honey harvested by local village beekeepers mentored under the company's community empowerment division.

The NTFP program provides rural households bordering the concession with sustainable economic alternatives that operate independently of timber harvesting. By offering technical training in modern apiculture, standardized quality control, and regional trade show visibility, PT Mayawana Persada helps rural smallholders transform natural forest resources into reliable household revenue streams.

Complimentary Diagnostic Screenings for Event Participants

Alongside its agricultural exhibition, the company set up a dedicated medical outreach post staffed by its internal clinical health team. The mobile clinic provided complimentary diagnostic screenings, including blood glucose checks, blood pressure evaluations, and personalized lifestyle consultations.

The medical booth drew continuous traffic throughout the morning as hundreds of fun walk attendees took advantage of the free screenings. Rima, a local participant who visited the post after completing the walk, appreciated the accessible care.

"This is such a helpful initiative right after exercising. The medical personnel were patient, thorough, and attentive," Rima shared. "Direct public services like this provide tangible value to everyday families."

An Enduring Commitment to Regional Farmers

Through its presence at the HKTI gathering, PT Mayawana Persada reaffirmed its long-term pledge to partner with agricultural networks and rural producers throughout West Kalimantan.

"As a responsible forestry enterprise that operates alongside rural settlements, we are deeply committed to empowering local farming communities," noted a representative of PT Mayawana Persada Management. "Our presence at this provincial HKTI forum reflects that mission in practice—both by expanding market channels for our village beekeeping partners and by providing essential preventive healthcare directly to the public."
