PMC Visits Agata Mining
From Nickel Mine to Nature Farm. Agata Mining is proving there is life after mining.
The rehabilitation process here is about more than just “planting trees.” It’s a science-based transition involving:
- Progressive Rehab: Restoring the land while the mine was still active.
- Agro-forestry: Planting cacao, dragon fruit, and pineapples to ensure local livelihoods continue.
- Water Management: Using advanced siltation ponds and “rain-fed” irrigation to protect the nearby coastline.
Today, the site is evolving into an Agrotourism Hub, proving that responsible resource development can leave the environment better than it was found.
