SPECIAL QUALIFICATIONS (FOREIGN CONSULTANCY/EXPERIENCE)
East-West Center Grantee, 1970-1972, Honolulu, Hawaii, U.S.A.
As East-West Center scholar (Open Grants) at the University of Hawaii,
Honolulu, finished Master of Science Degree in Agronomy and Soil Science
under Plan C program (Directed Research: Effects of Salinity on Internal
Water Deficits and Growth of Sugarcane). Observed and consulted with some
staff members at HSPA Experiment Station and Wailua and Ewa sugarcane
plantations in Oahu. Joined EWC Inter-Island Tour and C. Brewer's trip to
plantations and other agricultural establishments in Lanai, Maui, and
Hawaii. Went on a 6-week cultural and educational tour in the Mainland USA
as part of EWC grant and observed in several agricultural colleges and USDA
stations.
Oct-Nov 1979 Soil specialist, sugarcane plantation feasibility study in
South Sumatra, Indonesia
P.T. Tanindo contacted VMC to conduct a technical and economic
feasibility study for the development and management of a sugarcane estate
of about 10,000 hectares to provide cane for a 4000-tcd factory in South
Sumatra. The VMC consultants composed of an agricultural engineer as team
leader, a soils specialist, and an agronomist visited Indonesia during a
four-week period in October 1979 to collect data and gather information.
The appraisal report was written following return to the Philippines.
Detailed information was provided concerning agricultural development,
particularly agronomic and soil aspects, agricultural engineering
requirements, field operations and staffing needs. The plantation aspect of
the project was considered technically and financially feasible after the
necessary cost calculations were made and was highly recommended for
implementation.
Jan-Feb 1981 Team leader, plantation and factory feasibility study in North
Sumatra, Indonesia
The project study for the development of an estate and a second factory
at Sei Semayang, Medan, North Sumatra for large-scale sugar production was
arranged between P.T. Tanindo and VMC. The VMC study team, composed of the
soil scientist as team leader, an agricultural engineer, and an agronomist
visited Medan from January 21 to February 17, 1981 together with their P.T.
Tanindo counterparts to conduct a field survey, gather data, and discuss
with the staff of PTP IX in Medan who will manage the project. The report
was written in Victorias, Negros Occ., Philippines and included land
development, cultivation, cane agronomy, cane harvesting and transport,
factory specifications, staffing needs, sugar production, and financial
viability.
May-Sep 1982 Training consultant, Farm and Crop Management Training Program
on Rain-fed Sugarcane Production in Indonesia
P.T. Tanindo and VMC conducted a training program with Staf Bina
Perusahaan Negara (SBPN) for nine Inonesian sugar technologists for a four-
month period in 1982. Sites chosen and surveyed for their different soil
and rainfall conditions were Jatitujuh in West Java, Sei Semayang in Medan,
North Sumatra, and Gunung Madu in Lampung, Sumatra. The program that lasted
from June to September 1982 provided training both in the scientific
management of rain-fed sugarcane production, using mainly practical
mechanized field operations, and in the farm management aspect including
how to make decisions to ensure profitable economic productivity, how to
combine men, machinery, and materials so designed to help in planning,
organizing, coordinating, and effective control. Training under Indonesian
sugarcane conditions consisted of all aspects of project management and
crop/plantation management from sugarcane project site development to cane
production operations under different typical Indonesian conditions
including observations and participation with local plantation managers,
staff personnel and workers from land clearing and roadwork to cane
harvesting and transport operations.
