From 30 Quails to Thousands: The Determination of Agus Susanto, a Farmer from Wonorejo Village

In the quiet village of Wonorejo, an inspiring story has emerged from the unwavering determination of a farmer named Agus Susanto. Years ago, Agus began his journey with just 30 quails, a modest start with limited capital and inadequate facilities. Yet, his belief never wavered. To him, each egg produced was a symbol of hope for a better future. When PT Borneo Indobara’s Community Empowerment Program (PPM) reached his village, Agus saw a glimmer of opportunity. With support in the form of quail chicks, improved housing facilities, and training in better farming techniques, his business began to grow rapidly. From just a few dozen birds, Agus now manages over 5,000 quails, producing more than 1.4 million eggs annually. The income he generates not only meets his family’s needs but also creates employment opportunities for local residents
