Abstract

Arenga pinnata is one of the plant commodities that has superior benefits in Indonesia. Besides being able to be processed as a source of food (in the form of fruit and drinks made from sap), the product of this plant can function as a material for making bricks, as a constituent of vehicle body fibers and concrete fibers. In addition, this plant provides an environmental impact that can withstand landslides and maintain groundwater circulation. However, the utilization of various plant products is still constrained and not optimal. The exploitation of a product that causes environmental damage is a significant issue that must be solved immediately.
