Challenges: Difficulties to collect high quality seed sources/planting materials in SE Sulawesi Province Lack of interest of women groups to follow the program especially for indigenous ethnic groups Some farmer groups have difficult access on water resources for nursery maintenances Remedial actions: We need to collect high quality seeds especially for rubber (scion). We collected high quality clove seeds from Kolaka Utara and will collect Pala seeds from Buton. Durian can be gained from Ladongi, but we still wait for fruiting seasons. We need to organize additional relevant activities which can attract women such as Arisan We will install water pump and building water storage.
