        "summary": "Indonesia's Ministry of Forestry is launching a dedicated programme and integrated budget to restore Gayo coffee agroforestry areas in Aceh damaged by landslides and floods. The initiative includes intensive assistance for local farmers across four affected districts and explores alternative funding through the Environmental Fund Management Agency. Parliamentary pressure is mounting for the swift realisation of the proposed 2026 additional budget, given an estimated 1.2 million hectares of forest damage across three provinces.",
        "content": "<p>The Ministry of Forestry is preparing a special programme and\nintegrated budget allocation to restore Gayo coffee plantation areas\nbased on agroforestry, which were affected by landslides and floods in\nAceh Province. Vice Minister of Forestry Rohmat Marzuki, during a\nworking meeting with Commission IV of the Indonesian House of\nRepresentatives (DPR RI) in Jakarta on Thursday, stated that this\ntactical measure is being implemented through the Directorate General of\nSocial Forestry via an intensive assistance scheme for local farmers in\nthe Gayo Highlands cluster. \u201cFor example in Aceh, the Gayo Highlands,\nmany landslides and floods occurred there, and the commodity is Gayo\ncoffee. Through the Directorate General of Social Forestry, we will have\na programme and budget to provide assistance so that the coffee\nagroforestry in the affected areas can be restored,\u201d he said. Rohmat\nexplained that the upstream ecological and economic recovery\nintervention covers the administrative regions of Central Aceh, Bener\nMeriah, Bireuen, and Gayo Lues districts. To finance the recovery, the\nMinistry is not only relying on the state budget execution list but is\nalso proposing alternative funding through the Environmental Fund\nManagement Agency at the Ministry of Finance. He also affirmed the\nMinistry\u2019s commitment to continue coordinating closely with relevant\nauthorities so that the proposed 2026 Additional Cost Budget can be\nrealised promptly. The budget proposed for restoring damaged forest\nareas in Aceh, West Sumatra, and North Sumatra reaches IDR 8 trillion.\nAddressing the issue of forest damage, Rohmat added that the Ministry is\ncommitted to suppressing the annual deforestation rate by strengthening\nland clearing monitoring systems, area protection, and law enforcement\ninvolving local governments. This step aligns with the insistence of\nCommission IV Deputy Chair Alexendra Lukman, who chaired the meeting and\nreminded that the budget for recovering from natural disasters occurring\nin 2025 should not be continuously postponed or shifted to become a\nburden on the following year\u2019s additional budget. \u201cLet\u2019s be concrete,\nbecause the disaster was in 2025, the argument is for the 2026\nadditional budget. Okay, until now it hasn\u2019t been realised. What we mean\nis, don\u2019t let this become the 2027 additional budget. If it keeps being\nadditional budget year after year, when will the recovery be completed?\nJust like that. Okay. Do we agree on that, Mr Vice Minister?\u201d said\nAlexandra. Alexandra, along with the majority of parliamentary members\nin the meeting, viewed the recovery efforts as important, considering\nthe extent of forest shrinkage or damage that triggered floods\naccompanied by landslides with significant impacts in Aceh, North\nSumatra, and West Sumatra. The affected area amounts to 1.2 million\nhectares.<\/p>",
