PT United Tractors Tbk (UT) once again demonstrates its commitment to rural community development through its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program, which involves the construction of a communal sheep farming barn on the village-owned land in Sumbergondo Village, Batu City, covering an area of 7m x 12m. This program was initiated with a groundbreaking ceremony led by the Acting Mayor of Batu City, Aries Agung Paewai; the Village Head of Sumbergondo, Hadi Purwanto; and the Branch Operation Head of UT Surabaya Branch, Badrun Radhi, on Thursday (July 18, 2024). The primary objective of this program is to improve the village community’s economy by utilizing unused village-owned land.

This collaboration is motivated by the fact that Sumbergondo Village is one area that manages waste as livestock feed. Additionally, this program serves as a pilot project to be implemented in September 2024 with a capacity of 60 sheep and is expected to become a model for other UT-supported villages. Through this program, it is hoped that community economic activities can be increased through independent management after the initial five years of UT’s guidance. This aligns with UT’s commitment to creating prosperity, community sustainability, and economic growth in Indonesia.
