SEMARANG - Minister of Agriculture (Mentan) Andi Amran Sulaiman ensured that the decline in rice prices in the market would not affect the decline in the welfare of farmers.
According to Amran, the government's task is not easy to keep farmers prosperous and consumers happy.
Therefore, the Minister of Agriculture ensured that the purchase price of unhulled rice at the farmer level was kept at least Rp. 6,500 per kilogram (kg).
According to him, the government has worked hard to keep all parties safe and comfortable. "Keep this good condition. Our current stock is the highest, the current price is lower than the previous year," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Saturday, August 23.
In fact, said the Minister of Agriculture, until now Indonesia has not imported when other countries have difficulty with rice.
"The government has worked hard, being able to stop imports in a short time," he said.
Amran said that the current price contraction had been directly responded to by the government's efforts.
In the next two to three weeks, he is optimistic that rice prices will still fall lower.
Market operations, Amran said, will continue until December 2025 considering the rice supply is still very large.
"People are patient, the supply is still very large," he said.
