KARAWANG - The government built pump wells at a number of crucial agricultural land points as a mitigation measure against rice crop failure caused by the dry season.
The statement was made by President Jokowi after reviewing the fluctuations in food prices at Pasar Baru Karawang, West Java, Wednesday, May 8.
"In the dry season, we build pump wells at points that we have calculated will lack water, especially with regard to agriculture, rice," he said in an interview session reported by ANTARA.
According to President Jokowi, rice stocks in the warehouse of the Logistics Affairs Agency (Bulog) reached 1.6 million tons. This number increased from the previous inventory of around 1.2 million tons.
