(BOGOR, Indonesia) 17 August 2023 – The unveiling of the RCM project microsite marks a pivotal step in providing comprehensive insights into the RCM Indonesia project which is fully funded by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs of the Government of South Korea .
This project microsite stands as a comprehensive repository of information about the ongoing project such as project briefs, relevant studies, training materials, and documentation. Through this microsite, the latest version of Layanan Konsultasi Padi (LKP) is set to be integrated and made accessible for nationwide use through https://lkp.irri.org/ .
