NATURAL RESOURCES OF INDONESIA




AMAZING MY INDONESIA, Geographical location shows how Indonesia is rich in natural resources with all the flora, fauna and hydrographic potential and abundant natural resource deposits. Indonesia's natural resources come from agriculture, forestry, marine and fisheries, farms, plantations and mining and energy.

 As an agricultural country, agriculture is the most important livelihood for the majority of the people of Indonesia. Agricultural land area of approximately 82, 71% of the entire land area. The land is mostly used for rice cultivation. The spread of rice production is still concentrated in Java due to high productivity and harvested area compared to the other islands. Other agricultural production is corn, sweet potatoes, peanuts and soybeans. Production of horticultural varieties of vegetables include large red onion, leek, potatoes, cabbage and carrots. While the production of horticultural varieties of fruits include mango, durian, oranges, bananas, papaya and bark.

 


Based on the age of the plant, plantation in Indonesia is divided into two major groups, namely crops (sugar cane, tobacco, cotton, castor, lemongrass, patchouli and hemp) and perennial crops (rubber, coconut, coffee, palm oil, clove, nutmeg, wood sweet, vanilla, hazelnut, nut, tamarind, palm, palm, coconut deres, and sago palm). Most of the plantations in the form of annual crop cultivation.















Livestock population in Indonesia consists of a large livestock population, such as dairy cows, beef cattle, buffalo, and horses. Small livestock populations include: goats, sheep, and pigs. While the poultry population consisted of chicken, chicken laying, broiler and ducks. Among the results of the current livestock export prospects are processed leather (tanned).



Based on the function, Indonesian forest is divided into four types, namely protected areas, forest production, forest preserves, and forests. Forestry production in the form of timber, well logs, sawnwood and plywood. From the results of the forest, which is currently the mainstay of Indonesian products for export activities is plywood.



Physical fact that two-thirds of Indonesia in the form of the sea, the sea's natural resources have huge potential. In addition to containing the oil, gas, mineral and non-conventional marine energy, as well as the treasure that has been dug though still limited, sea also produces the potential for sustainability of fish estimated at 6, 4 million tons per year. Currently only used about 70%. Development of marine resources and fisheries are grouped in five marine industry, namely the fishing industry, marine energy mineraldan industry, maritime industry, including the shipbuilding industry, shipping industry (marine transport) and tourism industry (marine tourism and conservation areas). Currently the mainstay of Indonesian fisheries exports are shrimp and tuna.





Mining and energy are expected to be excellent sources of foreign exchange earnings, particularly from oil and gas export revenues. Two of the mine commodity quantity greatly affect Indonesia's economy, so it is often used as a basic assumption in the state budget planning. The electrical energy produced is still largely the State Electricity Company (PLN), while the remainder by the companies by the local government, cooperatives, or other private companies. The government also explore alternative energy sources to reduce dependence on oil. The alternative energy source that is owned in large jumbal is gas, coal, hydro, geothermal, and solar power. Alternative energy is currently being logged pemrintah is vegetable-based energy or biofuel using plantation crops such as oil palm, sugarcane, cassava, and distance.
