Strengthening bilateral cooperation, shaping the future of ASEAN agriculture

Under the newly signed agreements, TTC AgriS and Sungai Budi Group will jointly establish a Research & Development Center for sustainable agriculture and launch a 2,000-hectare model sugarcane farm (demo farm) in Indonesia. The project will leverage advanced farming technologies to enhance yield, improve raw material quality, and accelerate green transformation across the agricultural value chain. 

In the coconut sector, both parties discussed plans for a 2025 joint venture that aims to scale operations up to 300 million liters/kilograms over two phases. The initiative will build a production and commercial platform for coconut-derived products, with an initial capacity of 120 million liters/kilograms for both the Indonesian and international markets. Additionally, the partners plan to develop 20,000 hectares of organic coconut plantations in close collaboration with local farmers.

The Signing Ceremony was witnessed by Rachmat Pambudy – Minister of National Development Planning of the Republic of Indonesia – and senior leaders of both countries.

In her remarks, Ms. Dang Huynh Uc My, Chairlady of TTC AgriS – emphasized: “With over half a century of continuous innovation, TTC AgriS has evolved from a domestic sugar company into a comprehensive international agricultural solutions provider. We believe that robust investments in R&D and technology, along with building a circular value chain, are fundamental not only to enhancing our competitiveness but also to affirming our commitment to global ESG standards.”

Mr. Oey Alfred – CEO of Sungai Budi Group – echoed the significance of this strategic partnership, highlighting the synergy of vision and strengths between two leading agricultural groups.

Representatives from the Indonesian Embassy, Consulate General, and Tay Ninh Province praised the potential of this cooperation and affirmed their full support, pledging close collaboration with TTC AgriS and Sungai Budi Group.

Firsthand experience of Vietnam’s high-tech circular agriculture model

Following the signing ceremony, the Indonesian delegation visited TTC AgriS’s high-tech agricultural complexes in Tay Ninh and BenTre, showcasing the company’s innovation capacity, optimized operations, and scalable sustainable solutions.

At the Ninh Dien demo farm in Tay Ninh, delegates observed precision agriculture in action – from smart irrigation systems and crop-monitoring drones to IoT sensors that optimize resource use and improve crop quality. This technological platform was developed by TTC Agricultural Research Institute (ARI), TTC AgriS’s core R&D center.

The next highlight was TTC Tay Ninh Sugar Factory, where the circular economy model is implemented on a large scale: bagasse is converted into electricity, molasses into ethanol, and filter mud into organic fertilizer. This closed-loop model, encompassing R&D, cultivation, and processing, was highly praised by Indonesian partners, particularly Sungai Budi leadership, for its sustainability, investment efficiency, and scalability.

The delegation then traveled to Ben Tre, where TTC AgriS and Betrimex are building a comprehensive coconut value chain — from organic plantations to international-standard deep processing plants. Notably, the organic coconut farming model integrates traceability (via QR codes) and aligns with the principles of a circular economy, leaving a strong impression as a testament to efforts to enhance the value of Vietnamese agricultural products through sustainable development.

TTC AgriS and Betrimex proudly own the largest organic coconut plantation in Vietnam. Beyond traditional products like desiccated coconut and virgin coconut oil, the companies showcased a growing portfolio of high-value coconut products, including convenient canned coconut water and coconut milk, meeting international demand for direct consumption, mixing, and cooking.

Indonesia – a strategic market in TTC AgriS’s regional vision

As the world’s fourth most populous country and Southeast Asia’s largest economy, Indonesia has always been central to TTC AgriS’s regional strategy. Fulfilling these strategic commitments not only expands TTC AgriS’s international footprint but also deepens the Vietnam–Indonesia partnership, contributing to the goal of raising bilateral trade to USD 18 billion by 2028.

Through these efforts, TTC AgriS affirms its pioneering role in building a resilient and adaptable agricultural supply chain, capable of weathering global economic shifts while reinforcing ASEAN’s central role in the international agri-value chain.

CUHK Faculty of Arts Achieves Global Recognition, Consolidating Position as Leading Asian Hub for Humanities Research


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 April 2025 – The Faculty of Arts at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) has made remarkable advancement in the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2025. Eight subjects offered in the Faculty are ranked in the top 50 globally, among them Linguistics (#10), Modern Languages (#24), Anthropology and Philosophy (both #28). These rankings highlight the Faculty’s growing impact in global humanities education and research.

Innovative Interdisciplinary Approach in Academic Offerings

The Faculty has always been pivotal to CUHK’s mission of integrating Chinese and Western traditions and advancing bilingual education and humanities research. As the largest institution for postgraduate humanities education in Hong Kong, the Faculty offers over 40 postgraduate programmes across its academic departments: Anthropology, China Studies, Chinese Language and Literature, Cultural and Religious Studies, English, Fine Arts, History, Japanese Studies, Linguistics and Modern Languages, Music, Philosophy, and Translation.

The Faculty’s commitment to interdisciplinary education is reflected through programmes such as the MA in Intercultural Studies, which draws on faculty members’ expertise in film, digital media, gender studies, and urban studies. In addition, many research centres and affiliated units actively promote interdisciplinary research. The Research Institute for the Humanities (RIH), in particular, supports research projects ranging from AI to bioarchaeology, from digital to urban humanities. RIH also runs initiatives that help extend postgraduate students’ intellectual horizons and professional preparations.

Three Faculty of Arts PhD students were sponsored by the RIH to attend the Higher Education Young Talent Alliance 2024 Forum at the University of Exeter, UK, where they engaged in meaningful discussions on key topics, such as Interconnectivity and Interculturality, AI, Technology and the Post-Knowledge World, and Sustainable Development Goals.

Research Recognition and Student Success

Recent faculty accolades include the Dan David Prize won by Professor Stuart McManus, Associate Professor in the Department of History. A historian of the global Renaissance and the first scholar from an Asian university to receive this prestigious award in global history, Professor McManus examines both the brighter and darker sides of the Renaissance as an important early period of globalisation: the histories of slavery, the spread of renaissance humanism and the connected histories of law and religion.

Professor Stuart McManus received the Dan David Prize, the largest history prize in the world.

The Faculty makes available many resources and opportunities in support of student development. Dr. Fabricio Oliveira da Silva, a PhD graduate in Applied English Linguistics, gained invaluable experience through international conference presentations and extensive research opportunities provided by the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme (HKPFS). “Studying at CUHK was an incredible journey of intellectual growth and personal development. The academic environment, supportive faculty, and diverse student community at CUHK fostered my passion for research. The fact of being a CUHK student and HKPFS awardee has already opened doors for me, such as job offers, publishing a book chapter, invited lectures and research cooperation. I am sure there is more to come.”

Since its establishment in 1963, the Faculty of Arts at CUHK has seen tremendous growth. It continues to advance today by fostering cutting-edge, collaborative, and impactful research. Through its comprehensive programmes and international partnerships, it is now truly a leader of humanities education and research in Asia.

Tanglin’s CEO, Craig Considine, welcomed the founding cohort of Year 9 Highlanders and their parents, who attended the launch event alongside distinguished guests: Ms Lucy Hughes, Deputy High Commissioner, British High Commission; Mr Ashley Brosnan, Climate Counsellor, Australian High Commission; Mr Poh Chun Leck, Director of School Operations Policy, Ministry of Education, Singapore, and Neil Tottman, Tanglin Governor.

His remarks highlighted the programme’s emphasis on stepping beyond comfort zones, embracing an adventurous spirit, and learning through life experience.

As the first cohort of Year 9 Highlanders departs for Australia, the launch of the Highlands Programme stands as a cornerstone of Tanglin Trust School’s Centenary celebrations—embodying Tanglin’s belief in a holistic education where well-being is nurtured, talents beyond the classroom are developed, and academic scholarship is honoured.
