According to him, this is the initial step in rebuilding the Mulyaharja area as a place for agricultural education.

"Moreover, the moment coincides with Kartini Day," said Yantie Rachim.

On that occasion, he also highlighted the additional potential of AEWO Mulyaharja. In addition to being able to do agricultural tourism, AEWO Mulyaharja also has a small and beautiful cafe that can be used as a photo spot.

The existence of a cafe can also attract visitors to come to AEWO Mulyaharja.

"AEWO Mulyaharja must carry out routine maintenance for facilities to keep them safe and comfortable for visitors. This activity is also a momentum to promote AEWO Mulyaharja and strengthen the synergy and active role of women in development in the city of Bogor," he added.

Chairperson of DWP DKPP Debbyla Chusnul said that this activity aims to introduce local agricultural potential to members of Dharma Wanita DKPP Bogor City and Perumda Tirta Pakuan who are women or housewives.

Because AEWO Mulyaharja is a "remaining paradise" in Bogor City with an area of around 23 hectares. Of these 23 hectares, three hectares of rice fields in AEWO Mulyaharja are planted with organic rice and have been certified since 2015.

This harvested organic rice will be sold at a price of IDR 20,000 per kilogram.
