Monthly rice production stands at 5.7 million tonnes, securing food supplies for up to nine months or 324 days amid global uncertainties. While praising strategic programmes like maize and sugar self-sufficiency, coffee and cocoa production boosts, and initiatives in land expansion, quality seeds, machinery subsidies, and fertiliser support, the legislator warns against complacency in facing the potential severe El Ni\u00f1o Godzilla drought in 2026.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta \u2013 A member of Commission IV of the Indonesian House of\nRepresentatives, Rajiv, has praised the government\u2019s rice reserve\nstockpile (CBP) that has surpassed 5 million tonnes.<\/p>\n<p>This rice stockpile, he said, is the highest in history and proves\nthat Indonesia can achieve food self-sufficiency more quickly.<\/p>\n<p>According to Rajiv, Minister of Agriculture (Mentan) Andi Amran\nSulaiman has been serious in carrying out his duties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Prabowo set a four-year target for rice self-sufficiency,\nbut Minister Amran only needed 1.5 years to achieve it. This is\nextraordinary,\u201d said Rajiv, quoted from ANTARA, Tuesday, 28 April\n2026.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Rajiv noted that monthly rice production reaches 5.7\nmillion tonnes, so Indonesia\u2019s food situation can be said to be secure\nfor the next nine months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn a global situation full of uncertainties and food disruption\nthreats, we are instead secure because we have abundant food reserves\nfor up to 324 days ahead. Even every month our rice production reaches\n5.7 million tonnes,\u201d Rajiv stated.<\/p>\n<p>He observed that the Ministry of Agriculture has been very\nprogressive with several strategic programmes, such as maize and sugar\nself-sufficiency, increased coffee and cocoa production.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, he said, priority programmes such as paddy field\nextensification, land optimisation, provision of superior seeds,\nagricultural machinery and equipment (alsintan), fertiliser subsidies,\nup to downstreaming of plantations and livestock have already yielded\nresults now.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, Rajiv reminded the Minister not to be complacent,\nbecause in 2026 the threat of Godzilla El Ni\u00f1o could destroy all the\nministry\u2019s targets if not addressed seriously.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll achievements will certainly be tested by ever-changing\nconditions. This year, the Ministry of Agriculture must be prepared and\nnot complacent in facing Godzilla El Ni\u00f1o in the form of prolonged\ndrought that is even drier, threatening our agricultural production,\u201d\nRajiv said.<\/p>",
