Meanwhile, Chairman of GAPKI Law Division Yunita Sidauruk, quoted the speech made by Chairman of GAPKI, Joko Supriyono said the theft of fresh fruit palm fruit bunches (TBS) is very rampant happened in almost all oil palm plantations. The theft of TBS continues unabated because law enforcement still has no deterrent effect.
Yunita revealed one of the motives of TBS theft is also because of the extent of drug distribution up to the remote areas. Starting from not having money to buy drugs, Then stole TBS.
