As an active stakeholder in the development of the RAD KSB for Sambas District for the 2024-2026 period, Earthqualizer, represented by Swisto Uwin, contributed valuable insights into the global challenges and opportunities within the palm oil sector, emphasizing the crucial need for sustainable palm oil practices.

As an organization that leverages spatial intelligence, Earthqualizer also shared spatial data related to land ownership and the locations of oil palm plantations, highlighting the importance of involving and supporting smallholders in the RAD KSB program to navigate various market challenges. Swisto Uwin underscored the need for a robust, inclusive RAD KSB, emphasizing principles of integration, synchronization, and stakeholder participation.
