The citronella plant or Cymbopogon citrates has begun to attract attention from farmers to be developed as a raw material for making essential oils.
For information, in Payo, Tanah Garam Sub-District and Laing Sub-District, these plants have begun to be cultivated by the community.
Especially since the issuance of Mayor Regulation No. 39 of 2009 which established essential oils as a city icon, the local government has continued to encourage the development of these plants.
