Embalut Rice Revival Project

Closure & Rehabilitation

Launched in 2021, the post-mining program at Embalut Mine has converted 74 hectares of former mining land into productive rice fields. This initiative was shaped through participatory consultations, responding to concerns from residents in the first ring of the community development area about livelihoods once the community development and empowerment program concluded. Since 2023, the program has produced over 120 tonnes of rice, including 23 tonnes of the fourth harvest in September 2024. By enhancing local welfare and creating new employment opportunities, the program has improved local economy and supports food self-sufficiency. With direct benefits reaching 148 households, the program promotes sustainable community development and contributes to national food security. This initiative stands as a model for sustainable post-mining land use and long-term community empowerment.
