"Today, happy for me. Happy, I'm very happy, and I saw it, full of hope, full of confidence. If many arrogant figures say we can't be self-sufficient in food, today we prove that we are self-sufficient in food," said President Prabowo in front of farmers, agricultural communities, and a number of state officials during the Raya Harvest event in Karawang, Wednesday afternoon, quoted by Antara.
"Now, after we are self-sufficient in food, I hear again: Oh yes, the food self-sufficiency is at most 1-2 years. It's okay, every year we prove, self-sufficiency, self-sufficiency, self-sufficiency, self-sufficiency! Not only rice self-sufficiency, corn, cassava, everything we will be self-sufficient, garlic we have to be self-sufficient," said President Prabowo.
The President then continued his administration determined to mass-produce protein sources such as livestock and fish.
"We will open thousands of fishing villages. We will open hundreds of fish farms. Our people, our children must eat a lot of protein. He must grow strong, grow smart, and grow into a great future for Indonesia," said the President, who was greeted with a roar of applause from the farmers.
On the stage of the harvest event, President Prabowo announced that Indonesia had officially achieved rice self-sufficiency in 2025. The announcement was then followed by an event to pound dry rice in a gourd with a hammer. The President led the pounding procession with two representatives of farmers, Minister of Agriculture Andi Amran Sulaiman, and Coordinating Minister for Food and Agriculture Zulkifli Hasan.
