Various potential owned by Southeast Sulawesi, both from the agricultural, plantation and service sector, must be turned on. Furthermore, it must be supported by government policies that provide growth for the business world. “Well, then it is supported by the policy that the government has as policy holders, policymakers. Either incentives, or the name is the ease of consent as quickly as possible, which the entrepreneur is requested, as long as the gang rules, fast,” Tito said.
