JAKARTA - Candidate for vice president number 1 Muhaimin Iskandar said his party together with presidential candidate Anies Baswedan had calculated the budget for the younger generation to be interested in flying into the agricultural sector.
"Actually, for these young people, starting from skills, schools, businesses, working, eating, one unit; we calculated Rp150 trillion," said Muhaimin in a written statement reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, January 3.
Muhaimin said this during the "Witip Gus" event with farmers in Bandung Regency, West Java.
According to him, if more and more young children are interested in farming, domestic agricultural production will also increase and be of high quality. So, he continued, this could be a way for Indonesia to be free from imports and become food independent.

"If agriculture is productive, farmers are profitable, young people also want to farm, more and more quality production. We will no longer rely on imports. Our imports must be stopped, gratefully until we are truly independent in the food sector," he added.
In Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar (AMIN)'s vision and mission book, the candidate pair for the Change Coalition promised to implement food independence, among others, by minimizing import activities and improving the welfare of farmers through the contract farming system.
