The increase in domestic rice production is positively impacting the\nwarehousing sector, particularly those with food-grade\nspecifications.<\/p>\n
\u201cRegarding rice, the impact is certainly an increase in demand for\nwarehousing with food-grade specifications. This is because there are\nwarehouses that must have food-grade specifications,\u201d said Director of\nKnight Frank Indonesia, Sindiani Surya Adinata, during an online\ndiscussion in Jakarta, Thursday.<\/p>\n
She added that there are warehouses with various specifications\noffered in the market.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are responding positively to the increase in rice barns,\u201d she\nsaid.<\/p>\n
According to her, this is very important considering that Indonesia\u2019s\nrice reserves could reach 6 million tons in the next three months, and\nthis exceeds the capacity of Bulog\u2019s warehouses.<\/p>\n
She will ensure that the target of absorbing four million tons of\ngovernment rice reserves (CBP) by 2026 can be achieved through\ncross-institutional collaboration with Perum Bulog and the National Food\nAgency.<\/p>\n
Amran said that he had held a 2026 Rice Procurement Meeting with\nBulog, the National Food Agency (Bapanas) and the ranks of the Ministry\nof Agriculture (Kementan) to agree on the target of absorbing rice\nequivalent to 4 million tons throughout 2026.<\/p>\n
He assessed that if the target of four million tons is achieved, it\nhas the potential to record a new history for Indonesia\u2019s food security,\nalong with an increase in planted area in 2026 of around 500,000\nhectares compared to the previous year.<\/p>\n
The increase in planted area is believed to encourage national rice\nproduction, as long as there are no major natural disasters or\nsignificant disruptions that can hinder the planting and harvesting\nprocess of farmers.<\/p>\n
Amran said he was optimistic that the target would be achieved, while\npraising the performance of the Bulog\u2019s board of directors, which he\nconsidered solid and capable of carrying out the strategic mandate of\nmaintaining government rice reserves.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/increased-rice-production-positively-impacts-the-warehousing-sector-1772104781", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
