Since 2019, PT Pertamina Integrated Terminal Makassar has embraced the community, especially housewives, to take advantage of yards and vacant land around residential areas, using hydroponic cultivation techniques and organic plants on available land. This activity is located in Tamalabba Village, Ujung Tanah District, Makassar City, which currently has 2 KWTs, namely Bahari Sigalu and Dewa Kembar.
