The award was a token of appreciation for their support in establishing a mini mill research laboratory within the Kebun Pendidikan dan Penelitian Kelapa Sawit (KPPS) at IPB in Jonggol, West Java Province.
“Mini mill is about to process and produce red palm cooking oil within high beta carotene to prevent stunting case in children,” Abdul said, as in the official statement to Palmoilmagazine.com recently.
As the alumnus of Faculty of Agriculture IPB, Abdul Ghani really hoped that the laboratory would escalate the students’ skill of IPB and he is optimist that the graduate from IPB would be ready to work at palm oil industries, including in PT Perkebunan Nusantara III (Persero).
