        "summary": "The Indonesian government is accelerating the construction and rehabilitation of irrigation networks with an annual budget of approximately Rp12 trillion to enhance national food production. Deputy Minister of Agriculture Sudaryono stated that President Prabowo Subianto has ordered bureaucratic hurdles to be bypassed so the state can directly intervene where regional governments are unable to act. The initiative is part of a broader strategy to achieve food self-sufficiency and improve farmer welfare.",

If local regions are unable to carry out\nrepairs, the state must step in. Therefore, the government is allocating\naround Rp12 trillion every year to improve primary, secondary, and\ntertiary irrigation across Indonesia to boost agricultural\nproductivity,\u201d said Sudaryono in Batam, Riau Islands, on Monday, while\nattending the inauguration of the Regional Leadership Council of the\nIndonesian Farmers Harmony Association (DPD HKTI) in Riau Islands.<\/p>\n<p>According to Sudaryono, the acceleration of irrigation development is\none of President Prabowo\u2019s key breakthroughs in strengthening national\nfood security.<\/p>\n<p>For many years, many irrigation networks have not functioned\noptimally due to complications regarding the division of authority\nbetween central, provincial, and district\/city governments.<\/p>",
