Both become energy sources and only for food. The state has cooperated with foreign and domestic investors to process it using the working model of capitalism and modernization. The formulation and implementation of the policy are loaded with economics, politics of resource management, it seems that it has not yet succeeded in transforming Riau society into prosperity. Now the Sago plant resources are starting to attract investors' attention to the world's future food. The problem is how can the potential of Sago as an alternative food future be able to avoid the exploitation of modern capitalists who do not benefit the residents who live in it? The foreign investment and domestic investment models need to be created in prospering the Riau people as an inclusive development model; Metroylon, SP must be an asset of local residents; Sago perennial land, processing and export by residents who live, prioritizing the mutual exchange of economic, political resources between investors and local residents.
