Yahukimo is a cannabis growing area in Highland Papua, Indonesia, drawn on Yahukimo Regency. It is part of the New Guinea Highlands growing region. In July and September 2026 army task forces found fields holding about 26,000 plants at Kima, Air Garam and the Ibiroma complex in Kurima district.[1][2] In June 2025 the police had said that a cannabis garden in Kurima was run by an armed group.[3]
Reports of cultivation
In June 2025 the head of the Damai Cartenz police task force, Brigadier General Faizal Rahmadani, said that photographs and videos on a mobile phone found after a gunfight showed Egianus Kogoya in his cannabis garden in Kurima district. The police call Kogoya's group an armed criminal group (KKB). Faizal said that the group ran the garden and had harvested the crop and packed it for sale, and that it grew and sold cannabis to pay for its operations and buy weapons. Kurima can be reached by road from Wamena, the seat of Jayawijaya regency.[3] The report gives no figures for the garden and carries no response from the group.
On 13 July 2026 a military task force, Koops Habema, found two farms during a border patrol that followed a tip-off. They held about 3,000 plants at the Kima village complex and about 2,000 at Air Garam village, where the soldiers also found a bow and 26 arrows. The army said that it was investigating with the local police to find who had grown the plants.[1]
On 9 September 2026 the border security task force of Infantry Battalion 725/Woroagi found about 21,400 cannabis plants ready for harvest at the Ibiroma complex in Kurima district. The commander of the army's Joint Regional Defence Command III, Lieutenant General Lucky Avianto, announced the find. He said that the plants were found in large numbers and were thought to be ready for harvest, and that the soldiers had secured the site and the plants as evidence.[2]
The reports give no area for any of the fields, no seed source and no description of the plants beyond their number and readiness for harvest.
