JAKARTA: State-owned agriculture company PT Agrinas Pangan Nusantara chief executive officer (CEO) Joao Angelo De Sousa Mota announces his resignation after only six months in office, citing his limited contribution to the company due to a lack of support from relevant stakeholders, including state asset fund Danantara.
Joao said stepping down was a way to “uphold his dignity and reputation”, as well as that of his team, given what he described as a failure to improve the prosperity of farmers in Indonesia.
