economic continuity

Economy
The European power used the “Cultivation system” to developed agriculture in Dutch East Indies, which was then abandoned in 1863. Change has brought wealth to some central cities in Dutch East Indies such as Balikpapan city.
However, most of the remote areas are still economically and industrially undeveloped. In spite of the change in agriculture policy, the economic structure remained unchanged. The local depend heavily on agriculture, difficult to achieve self-sufficiency. Mining and agriculture are the main source of income for the local. Hence farms can be seen everywhere within this country, reserving the beautiful scenes of the nature. Small houses made of wood and stone, lush trees, and special tropical plantations are the typical elements that make up the unique original Dutch East Indies.
