Indonesia’s economy relies on its agricultural sector, employing one third of its labor force and representing approximately 14% of its GDP. With one of the world’s largest agricultural productions, the sector plays a vital role in supporting the country’s growth and development. Intermap’s customer is utilizing the Company’s precision data for monitoring and site assessment over large areas across the islands of Sumatra and Borneo.
