JAKARTA - The free milk and lunch program was initiated by candidate pairs Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka. This program causes a polemic. The reason is, economists say this program has the potential to kill local producers due to increased milk imports.
This was revealed by economist from the Institute for Development of Economics and Finance, Andry Satrio Nugroho. According to him, domestic fresh milk production is still below one million tons. The Central Statistics Agency noted that domestic fresh milk production is only 968.98 thousand tons in 2022. With the current high demand, beef milk imports reach approximately 80 percent.
If the free milk program is realized, it will lead to an increase in demand for milk. The plan, Prabowo will import 1.5 million dairy cows from Brazil and India to realize the free milk program. Andry said he could not bring it in at the same time, but periodically.
The Ministry of Agriculture alone has not lifted the ban on buying beef from India because there is still an outbreak of nail and mouth disease. Not to mention local breeders who clearly oppose the government's commitment if the plan to import dairy cows is realized. Watch the video below.
