Polda Jambi is using Agrinex Expo 2026 in Jakarta to pitch a corn seed program built around food security and lower agricultural waste, underscoring how regional institutions are trying to create more value from local farm output.
Polda Jambi pitches corn seed program at Agrinex 2026
The Jambi police brought SAS Siginjai Andalan Sejahtera corn seeds to the 23-25 October expo at the Jakarta International Convention Center, presenting them as part of a broader zero-waste corn model rather than a simple seed launch. The pitch matters because it ties crop production to processing, byproduct use and farmer income, which can lift margins across the rural supply chain.
The seed being showcased is a composite Lamuru corn variety under the SAS Siginjai brand. Polda Jambi said the program is designed to support national food resilience while giving farmers in Jambi a more self-reliant production option through partnerships with government agencies, universities, farmer groups, village-owned enterprises and small businesses.
That coalition includes Balai Benih Induk Palawija Sebapo, Universitas Jambi, several BUMDes units, a forestry business association, a provincial food consortium, farmer groups and local UMKM. For investors watching Indonesia’s agriculture theme, the significance is less about the police branding than the model: it links seed development, cultivation, waste reduction and downstream monetization into one ecosystem.
The zero-waste concept is the clearest commercial angle. By stressing the use of all parts of the corn plant, the program aims to reduce losses and create additional value from material that would otherwise be discarded, a playbook that fits wider government efforts to strengthen food supply chains and adopt greener agricultural practices.
The broader backdrop is a national push toward food self-sufficiency and more efficient farm economics. If the Jambi model scales beyond the expo floor, it could open opportunities for seed suppliers, local processors, rural cooperatives and farm-linked SMEs, while helping producers capture more value per hectare.
