Two Minutes Kumah Atuh, Prabowo Feels Less Time On The Stage Then Invites Kadin To Discuss In Hambalang

Presidential Candidate Prabowo Subianto and Didit Prabowo attended a dialogue activity held by Kadin at Djakarta Theater, Menteng, Central Jakarta, Friday (12/1/2024) (ANTARA/Walda)

Presidential candidate number 2 Prabowo Subianto invited the management of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) to discuss agriculture for five hours at his residence in Hambalang, Bogor, West Java.

"I invite you specifically. We will discuss five hours in Hambalang, how about it?" Prabowo said in a presidential candidate dialogue held by Kadin at Djakarta Theater, Central Jakarta, reported by ANTARA, Friday, January 12.

Prabowo assessed that two minutes to answer questions from one of the participants in the discussion on agricultural issues was not enough.

"Two minutes old," Prabowo said jokingly on the stage of the dialogue.

Responding to Prabowo's question, Deputy Head of the Monetary Agency Kadin Aviliani as the moderator of the dialogue welcomed the invitation.

"Later we will invite Kadin to his place, sir, because there are many who ask today, there will be five more (questions)," said Avilian.

Then Prabowo said he was ready to serve questions from Kadin members even if up to 50 people asked questions.

Finally, Prabowo joked again asking for an assessment from Kadin about his explanation in dialogue.

"What is my value?" Prabowo asked.

"150 yes," Avilian replied jokingly.

Previously, Prabowo received questions from a member of Kadin from the Sulawesi region about the phenomenon of young people who do not want to become farmers and efforts to advance domestic agriculture.

"Why are farmers reduced because young people see their fathers not profitable, their lives are difficult," Prabowo said when answering the question.

Prabowo assessed that many farmers' children did not get basic facilities such as education and proper health services.

Therefore, he emphasized that if elected, Prabowo promised to improve the economy of farmers by providing stimulus such as providing cheap fertilizers, controlling food prices in favor of farmers to building food barns orfood estates.

In addition, Prabowo will also improve the quality of domestic rice so that it can penetrate the international market. Thus, the opinion of farmers will increase

This will at the same time minimize the possibility of the government importing rice from other countries for consumption in the country.
