Perennial rice cultivation as the convergence of food sovereignty, climate-smart agriculture, and triple-revenue capital formation.
Who We Are
PT Ameta Kultura Sehati (AKS) is structured as the intellectual property and licensing HoldCo for perennial rice cultivation and carbon credit mechanisms across Indonesia. Through an asset-light model, AKS captures royalty streams while its operating company (OpCo) executes field operations — from seedling and cultivation through MRV and harvest.
AKS is jointly held by PT Kirana Artha Sehati, PT Erahita Mas Indonesia, and Royal Group — with a Singapore-based Holding Company serving as the strategic parent entity.
The Imperative
Rice is not merely a commodity in Indonesia — it is the political, economic, and cultural axis of national stability. Yet the current system is under structural strain.
Conventional rice yields have stagnated at 4.7–5.2 t/ha while national demand from 280 million people continues its upward trajectory.
Indonesia imported 3+ million MT in 2023. Imports surged 121% YoY in early 2024. The government's target: reduce to 1 million MT through domestic supply expansion.
Rice cultivation accounts for 40–50% of human-caused methane emissions. As the world's third-largest producer, Indonesia's agricultural sector carries significant climate liability.
Annual replanting cycles force continuous expenditure on seeds, ploughing, transplanting, and field preparation — squeezing margins and deterring rural investment.
Intensifying floods, droughts, and soil degradation threaten conventional rice varieties, while annual cultivation leaves soils structurally depleted season after season.
Agricultural GHG reductions remain largely uncaptured. A Verra/Gold Standard-eligible rice project in Indonesia represents a significant, as yet unmobilised, climate finance opportunity.
Our Technology
Developed through conventional interspecific hybridization between wild African rice (Oryza longistaminata) and cultivated Asian rice (Oryza sativa), perennial rice is non-GMO, field-verified across 17 countries, and delivers structural cost and emission advantages that annual varieties cannot replicate.
Value Creation
The triple-revenue architecture means each hectare of perennial rice generates simultaneous value across food, seed, and climate markets — compounding returns without proportional cost increases.
Commercialise the perennial rice seed supply chain across Indonesia through government agencies and private distributors. IP licensing generates royalties directly to AKS.
Contract farming and off-take agreements with major agribusiness buyers ensure stable demand for harvested rice across multiple harvest cycles per year.
Perennial rice's non-tillage cultivation and reduced fertiliser input generate measurable GHG reductions, eligible for certification under Verra, Gold Standard, or Indonesia's National Registry.
Corporate Architecture
The Singapore Holding Company holds majority ownership in each Indonesian entity through convertible bonds, providing an internationally recognised investment vehicle for institutional and foreign capital. AKS's IP licensing structure generates royalty flows from OpCo while maintaining regulatory efficiency across jurisdictions.
Global Alignment
Project CINTA Sawanstara is not SDG-washing — it structurally produces measurable outcomes across five goals through its core operating model.
Deployment Roadmap
Seed procurement (PR25 & PR107), site selection in controlled irrigated fields, baseline data collection on soil, inputs, and expected yield.
2 kg seed planting. Monitor germination, yield per cycle, disease resistance, and initiate carbon measurement framework.
~100 kg seed expansion across wider geographies. GHG quantification, soil carbon tracking, carbon credit methodology alignment with verification bodies.
Finalise agronomic and economic data. Develop MRV documentation. Submit to Verra, Gold Standard, or Indonesia's National Registry.
Multi-province expansion. Collaboration with Bulog and private off-takers. Continuous improvement: yield optimisation, new varietals, farmer training networks.
Strategic Engagement
We are seeking institutional partners, impact investors, off-take counterparties, and government collaborators aligned with Indonesia's food sovereignty and climate transition agenda.
