JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan participated in the rice harvest activity in the rice fields of Mekarwangi Village, Tomo District, Sumedang Regency, West Java. This was done after the morning prayer with the Governor of West Java, Ridwan Kamil.

Anies said the reason he attended this activity was to prove the seriousness of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government in increasing regional cooperation, especially in the food sector.

"We just had a big harvest. This is our joint effort so that on the one hand, the farmers here get a higher selling price for grain, while the residents of Jakarta get an affordable price of rice. So, every family or household in Jakarta can rest easy if food prices are stable, because the amount of supply is safe", said Anies at the location, Friday, June 11.

Alhamdulillah, this morning we had a harvest with the Regent of Sumedang, Mr. Dony Ahmad Munir in the rice fields of Mekarwangi Village, Tomo District, Sumedang Regency, West Java. https://t.co/fVaV2L5kye pic.twitter.com/UqDH6knsnv

"Alhamdulillah, this morning we did the harvest with the Regent of Sumedang, Mr. Dony Ahmad Munir in the rice fields of Mekarwangi Village, Tomo District, Sumedang Regency, West Java", Anies tweeted on @aniesbaswedan.

Netizens who praised Anies said this was a positive thing and hoped that Anies could stop by some of their areas. "Barakallah Mr. Anies, hopefully, later the harvest will also be for all of Indonesia....make this country fair and prosperous again", tweeted @wingz****

"It's great, even though the DKI Jakarta Regional Government does not have sufficient rice fields for rice needs for residents whose population is dense, but rice production partners (harvest) are spread across Central Java, East Java and now in West Java so that the rice supply for Jakarta residents remains SAFE, TOP", continued @Darul****

"This kind of safari is good... Useful for many people... The main farmers", tweeted the account @wahukun****

Several netizens did not miss this number one person in DKI Jakarta. For example, the tweet @Uli7965**** "Ohh, have you moved to the governor of West Java?? Thank goodness for that.. the right habitat".

"Since when did you move province, sir?", @Alexciuss****

"It's amazing, wan, now he's the Governor of the Cross Provinces (GLS). Great... wan", sarcastically @111_man****

Back to Anies. Jakarta has a large debt of gratitude to other regions. This is because the residents of Jakarta need food supplies, especially rice, to meet their daily needs.

Therefore, the collaboration between DKI Jakarta BUMD PT Tjipinang Food Station and Sumedang BUMD PT Kampung Makmur can mutually improve economic conditions among farmers and guarantee the rice stock needed by Jakarta residents.

"This is our way for urban communities to return the favor to the farmers. Because they are the ones who have been working quietly and unseen, but we feel the benefits", explained Anies.
