The village is appointed as the "desa percontohan" (pilot village) by the Bantaeng regency government. The government built an agriculture laboratory and green house in the village to conduct experimental studies, hoping to produce better seeds for farming by utilizing some of the traditional methods.

Most of the farmers plant onions, potatoes, chilli, carrots, taros, cabbage, etc by using inter cropping methods learnt from the agricultural instructions that come from Bantaeng regency.
