JAKARTA - The Danantara Investment Management Agency (BPI) will disburse large investments worth IDR 20 trillion to build national livestock. This project is planned to start running next year as part of efforts to strengthen food security.

BPI Danantara's Chief Operating Officer (COO), Dony Oskaria said the development of this farm is to support domestic food security programs.

"We are building this, especially for food security," he said when met at the Coordinating Ministry for Food, Jakarta, Tuesday, November 11.

Furthermore, Dony explained, this step is also in line with the need for protein supply for the Free Nutrition Food (MBG) program.

"Especially with MBG, we need a lot of protein, yes, and therefore the government is also working on how we are self-sufficient with these proteins," he said.

Dony said the investment plan would involve many cross-ministerial parties. The implementation will also be regulated through a Joint Decree (SKB).

"The aerospace, of course, as a corporation, will review well and will carry out this in accordance with good corporate conditions," he said.

Previously, the Danantara Investment Management Agency (BPI) prepared a budget of IDR 20 trillion for the construction of broiler farms and integrated laying throughout Indonesia. The budget supports the National Nutrition Food (MBG) program.

This was conveyed by the Minister of Agriculture Amran Sulaiman at a press conference at the Ministry of Agriculture Office, Jakarta, Friday, November 7.

Amran said the construction was aimed at ensuring that the needs of chicken and eggs for the MBG program were met.

Then, the integrated chicken, broiler and eggs farm has a special budget of IDR 20 trillion. We will make all of Indonesia to supply BGN. We supply, don't let the eggs and chickens go short or shortage in the future. So we prepare from now on, "said Amran.

Furthermore, Amran said that the program is planned to start running in January next year.

(The budget comes from) Danantara. Then God willing, hopefully January will start," he said.
