Promoting Economic Development for Local Tobacco Farmers and Workers
Central Java's Demak County government allocates 118 million Indonesian rupiah for cash aid program to support local tobacco farmers and workers.

According to ANTARA's report on July 16th, the government of Demak Regency in Central Java, Indonesia has allocated a budget of 118 million Indonesian Rupiah (approximately $7,284 USD) for a direct cash assistance (BLT) program aimed at promoting the economic development of local tobacco farmers and cigarette workers. The program, through financial support, is intended to help tobacco farmers and cigarette workers overcome challenges and promote the stability and recovery of the community economy.


Agus Herawan, the Acting Head of the P2PA Social Services Office in Demak County, announced this Tuesday that the direct cash assistance program will benefit 9841 recipients, including 9554 tobacco farmers and 287 cigarette workers. These recipients are mainly located in the Gongtul District, Karangawen District, and Mlangen District, with 2049, 4981, and 2524 individuals respectively.


Argus Herawan revealed that the distribution of direct cash assistance program will be carried out in collaboration with Bank Jateng, starting next week and will be completed in four phases. The Central Java provincial government's direct cash assistance program has also been arranged for distribution in four phases to expedite the delivery of funds and ensure that aid reaches beneficiaries in a timely manner.


The implementation of this direct cash assistance program not only demonstrates the Darmak District government's care for tobacco farmers and cigarette workers, but also represents an important initiative to promote social justice and support vulnerable groups. Through this direct cash assistance program, the Darmak District government hopes to stimulate community economic vitality and create a more stable and fair living environment for tobacco farmers and cigarette workers.
