Based on survey results from 6 survey locations, 5 of them are still active, namely Japri Farm, UD Rohana and KWT Bunga Matahari, UD Sari Melanting, and UD Sumber Sari. While 1 other location is not active, namely KP. Petemon Asri. There are several business actors in the City of Mataram who have not extended the registration of the commodities they produce.
