Abstract

While wild relatives and introduced varieties can be employed as parents for pest and disease resistance, local variations play a significant role as adaptive parents in site-specific conditions. Local variations continue to disappear as a result of population growth encouraging the transfer of productive agricultural land to marginal land. Thus, the goal of this article is to create a distribution map of the local variants of superior goods that have spread across Indonesia and have become of national superiority. Using the field observation method to several chosen regions for local variety identification the observation site is an agro-ecological region where locals have long produced and grown many plant kinds. Each person in charge of a province's genetic resources receives a form as part of the data collection technique, which is then used to tabulate the results after conducting a qualitative analysis. The study's findings demonstrate that potential local products with the potential to become superior national products are widely distributed throughout Indonesian provinces and have characteristics that allow them to thrive in a range of topographic conditions, from highlands to lowlands, making it possible for them to be developed throughout Indonesia.
