Currently, the demand for corn in Indonesia is quite large, which is more than 10 million tons of dry shells per year. The largest consumption of corn is for the food and animal feed industry, because as much as 51% of the raw material for animal feed is corn.

Agricultural production facilities are all types of agricultural equipment, equipment and facilities that function as the main or auxiliary tools in the implementation of agricultural production.
