Types of fruit plants are sweet orange, longan, and guava image (Syzygium aqueum). While agricultural crops are dominated by bananas, corn, and chilies. The choice of combination of types of plants with agroforestry patterns is dominated by banana with longan, matoa with rimbang, chili,  jambu citra  with cassava.
