        "content": "<p>Bulog\u2019s CEO Ahmad Rizal Ramdhani said the state-owned enterprise will\noptimise paddy and rice procurement from farmers nationwide in 2026 by\npreparing warehouse capacity of up to 7 million tonnes. He described\nthis as an anticipatory measure, noting paddy production continues\nannually and harvested crops must be procured by the government through\nBulog. \u201cWe must anticipate this. Farmers harvest annually, and we cannot\nstop that. Once they plant, we must procured their produce,\u201d Ramdhani\nstated in Jakarta on Friday, 29 May 2026. He emphasised that procuring\npaddy cannot be halted, given farmers\u2019 need for market certainty to\nstabilise prices and sustain national food production. In 2025, Bulog\ninitially aimed to procurement 3 million tonnes of rice but exceeded the\ntarget, reaching nearly 3.2 million tonnes due to increased harvests.\nRamdhani added that all managed warehouses are currently full, holding\nalmost 4 million tonnes, forcing Bulog to rent private facilities for\ndomestic paddy storage. The company is strengthening procurement and\nstorage capacity to ensure optimal absorption of harvests, with rising\nrice stocks indicators of increased production and farmer trust in\ngovernment procurement. Bulog is also preparing to build 100 new\nwarehouses to store government food reserves, particularly rice and\ncorn, to avoid future reliance on private rentals.<\/p>",
