JAKARTA - Minister of Defense (Menhan) Prabowo Subianto when giving counseling to 60,000 farmers and breeders in Sumedang, West Java, said they were true patriots.

"All agricultural officers, you realize, we were soldiers in the war, yes. Now, the war is to protect the nation from food shortages," said Defense Minister Prabowo in his statement.
Therefore, he is optimistic that Indonesia will be able to eliminate poverty, one of which is thanks to the hard work of farmers who ensure that food sources are maintained.

"The TNI and all the soldiers here, we must remember that without farmers there is no army, without food we cannot fight. We defend this country and nation, because it is supported by farmers everywhere," said Defense Minister Prabowo.
He also shared his experience while serving as Commander of the Army Strategic Reserve Command (Pangkostrad). At that time, Prabowo ordered his staff to work on all sleeping areas for food barns.
No land should sleep. No land should not be planted, because food is a strategic matter, not merchandise," Prabowo said.
Prabowo attended the event to fulfill the invitation of the Minister of Agriculture Amran Sulaiman. One of the counseling activities aims to increase rice and corn production in Sumedang.
