CARE Indonesia, in collaboration with PT Cargill and the Musi Banyuasin District Government, continues to promote the replication and scaling up of circular economy-based businesses led by women’s groups in Musi Banyuasin District. The learning visit involved representatives of the Musi Banyuasin District Government and PT Hindoli to a Maggot Center under a CARE Indonesia program with partners in Depok City (13-14/01). The visit aimed to strengthen understanding of integrated organic waste management, Black Soldier Fly (BSF) maggot cultivation, and the use of maggots as feed and fertilizer within livestock management and household nutrition gardens.

Insights from observing integrated practices at the Maggot Center are expected to be applied to existing circular economy-based businesses managed by Women-led Economic Business Groups in Musi Banyuasin District, contributing to increased household income.
