Tambakrejo Farmers Group, a fostered partner of Saka Energi Muriah Limited, won 1st Place in the 2024 Urban Farming Champion (UFC) of Semarang City for the Farmers Group category. Tambakrejo Farmers Group (KT Tambakrejo) is a fostered partner of SEML in collaboration with LPPM Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES). This achievement complements previous accomplishments where KT Tambakrejo won 2nd Place in the same event last year.
Ragil Budi Prasetyo, Chairman of KT Tambakrejo, received the award directly presented by the Mayor of Semarang at the peak of the 2024 Urban Farming Champion award ceremony, which was held alongside the Semarang City Anniversary Ceremony on May 02, 2024. UFC 2024 itself is an annual event organized by the Semarang City Agriculture Office, featuring 5 categories: Elementary School, Junior High School, Sub-district PKK, District PKK, and Farmers Group/Women Farmers Group.
“Through Urban Farming, we hope it can eventually become an alternative food source in Tambakrejo Village, in line with government programs in providing alternative food,” said Erry Affandi as Manager of the Stakeholder Relations Department.
The judging period consisted of three stages: administrative selection, presentations and interviews, and finally, field visits by the judges. The purpose of the UFC event is to build an independent, healthy, and inclusive food sovereignty in Semarang City. May PGN Saka always contribute positively to the community and environment together with the Company’s Fostered Partners.
