Corn Harvest In Bengkayang, Prabowo Puji Polri Involved In Food Security

JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto during the second phase of the simultaneous corn harvest in Bengkayang Regency, West Kalimantan (West Kalimantan), expressed his appreciation to the National Police Chief and his staff for the active role of the National Police in strengthening national food security.

"I would like to express my highest appreciation to the National Police Chief, all police officers, and other officials. But today, the host is the National Police," Prabowo said, in Bengkayang, Thursday.

According to Prabowo, success in increasing rice and corn production is not a miracle, but the fruit of the hard work of all elements of the nation based on good intentions and integrity.

Every province must be self-sufficient in food. Every island must be able to stand alone. This is the key to our true independence," he said.

Prabowo also mentioned that by 2026, Indonesia is targeting to no longer import corn, along with increasing national production and efficiency of distribution systems through village cooperatives. The government plans to build 80,000 village cooperatives to strengthen food supply chains throughout Indonesia.

Sinergi ini adalah kekuatan utama - TNI, Polri, academia, teknocrat, pemerintah daerah, pengusaha, dan ulama. Tidak banyak negara yang memiliki komuni seperti ini," ujarnya pula.

Prabowo emphasized that Indonesia's revival will be unstoppable as long as all elements of the nation work with a sincere heart for the sake of the people.

This major harvest and initial export of corn is an important momentum to strengthen cross-sectoral commitments in realizing food security and affordability towards a just, prosperous, and prosperous Indonesia.
