Saat yang bersamaan, Presiden Jokowi tengah menghadiri acara puncak kegiatan 'Tambora Menyapa Dunia' dan peresmian Taman Nasional Gunung Tambora.
"Luasnya hamparan jagung siap panen di sini sekitar tujuh ribu hektar, dan di seluruh Kabupaten Dompu ada 40 ribu hektar ladang jagung siap panen saat ini. Saya sudah cek langsung dan mendapati kendala peningkatan produksi khususnya pupuk dan alat mesin pertanian," kata Amran Sulaiman saat tiba di puncak bukit dari ladang jagung didampingi para penyuluh pertanian dan para petani jagung.
