    Sago (Metroxylon sagu) is an Indonesian indigenous plant species. Sago needs periodical inundation for better performance, so it can be planted on slightly drained or even undrained peatland. Sago flour is used for many food items and chemical products. About 150–250 kg of dry sago flour can be produced from one palm tree.

    This practice was introduced from the Moluccas islands in Indonesia by indigenous people. Sago palms require only negligible maintenance, which makes sago plantations among the most productive systems that can be operated at almost no maintenance cost. Small-scale sago cultivation without drainage results in a high sago self-propagation rate, short harvesting cycles and high starch content.
