The main problem is the planting of sugar palm, which is generally not yet cultivated so that crop productivity is low and it is feared the plant population will decline. Since sugar palm plants have economic, social, cultural and conservation functions, it is wise to cultivate sugar palm and rehabilitate plants that grow naturally and irregularly in order to increase plant productivity. The results of the activity show that the cultivation of palm sugar plant has good hopes or prospects in the future. Processed products from palm plants such as sugar, drinks, and vinegar can be used to improve food security, while bioethanol can be used as an alternative energy source.
