Government Prepares Food-Energy-Water Zone Masterplan Covering 9.7 Million Hectares
A four-province self-sufficiency zone masterplan is being prepared, targeting degraded land for agriculture and fire-affected area rehabilitation.
The Indonesian government is preparing a masterplan for Food, Energy, and Water Self-Sufficiency Zones (KSPEAN) across four priority provinces, including South Kalimantan and Central Kalimantan, said Deputy Minister of Food Hanif Faisol Nurrofiq at a press briefing on 6 November.
The plan targets approximately 9.7 million hectares of degraded and unused land for agricultural development, including sugarcane cultivation. It is prepared together with the rehabilitation of areas affected by forest and land fires, in line with Presidential Instruction Number 11 of 2026. The zones are intended to strengthen national self-sufficiency in food, energy, and water resources.
The masterplan has not yet been formally issued. The announcement reflects the preparation stage described by the deputy minister, and official documents, budgets, and implementation timelines have not been published.
