IDIndonesia's Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Sudaryono, announced during the 17th National Farmers and Fishers Week in Gorontalo that the country has achieved food self-sufficiency in rice and no longer imports it. This success is attributed to expanded planting areas and increased agricultural production across various regions. The government is implementing a program to develop new rice fields on previously unproductive land while preserving local land ownership rights. Additional support includes agricultural machinery to boost productivity. While Indonesia has become self-sufficient in rice, red pepper, and eggs, it still relies on imports for beef, milk, garlic, soybeans, and wheat. Efforts are ongoing to reduce this dependency through increased domestic production.
