        "content": "<p>Bekasi, VIVA \u2013 Recognising that capital is often the main barrier to\nfarmers\u2019 growth, the Indonesian National Police (Polri) has taken a\nstrategic step by facilitating financial access. In a simultaneous\nsowing event in Bekasi, the handover of Kredit Usaha Rakyat (KUR)\nfacilities from Bank BRI to the mentored farmer groups was conducted.\nThis financial support enables farmers to adopt more advanced\nagricultural technologies, purchase quality seeds, and sustain land\noperations. Strengthening capital at the grassroots level is viewed as\nthe main engine to raise crop productivity evenly. The move is part of\nPolri\u2019s efforts to build an autonomous food ecosystem. In addition to\ntechnical guidance and security, farmers\u2019 economic aspects are also\naddressed to boost their competitiveness in facing food market dynamics.\nDeputy Chief of Police, Komjen Dedi Prasetyo, stated that in 2026 they\nwould partner with Bank Himbara to provide KUR to farmer groups, thereby\nbreaking the chain of middlemen and providing direct capital to farmers.\nThe presence of inter-agency synergy demonstrates Polri\u2019s commitment as\na strategic government partner to ensure inclusive national development.\n\u201cWith strong capital through KUR, farmers now have a financial\nfoundation to continue contributing to national food sovereignty,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>",
