Minister of Agriculture Ensures National Rice Stocks Are Secure
The Minister of Agriculture of the Republic of Indonesia, Andi Amran Sulaiman, has issued an official statement regarding the condition of food reserves in the country. In his statement, he emphasized that current national rice stocks remain secure and sufficient to meet the needs of the public.
This statement was issued in response to public concerns regarding the availability of staple foods in the market. The government continues to monitor rice distribution in various regions to ensure it remains smooth and that no shortages occur that could trigger price hikes.
In addition to monitoring availability, the Ministry of Agriculture continues to coordinate with relevant parties, including Bulog, to ensure that government rice reserves are maintained. This step is taken as an anticipation of weather changes and other factors that could affect farmers' harvest periods.
The Ministry of Agriculture hopes that the public will remain calm and refrain from excessive purchasing. The government is committed to continuously maintaining the stability of food supplies to meet the daily consumption needs of all Indonesian people.
