        "summary": "Indonesia is mitigating the impact of Middle East tensions and the potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz on global oil prices and food supply chains by reducing reliance on imports for key staples like rice and corn, which are now primarily sourced domestically. While wheat and soybean imports from countries like Australia, Russia, Canada, and Ukraine bypass the strait, fertiliser raw materials such as sulphur from Kuwait and Qatar are affected, prompting a shift to domestically produced sulphuric acid as an alternative. Expert Bara Krishna Hasibuan from the Coordinating Ministry for Food highlights these measures in a CNBC Indonesia discussion, underscoring Indonesia's proactive approach to safeguarding national food security amid escalating geopolitical risks.",
        "content": "<p>The closure of the Strait of Hormuz due to the Iran-US and Israel war\nhas driven global crude oil prices above USD 110 per barrel as of 30\nMarch 2026. Meanwhile, these Middle East tensions are disrupting food\nsupply chains, including fertiliser distribution.<\/p>\n<p>Bara Krishna Hasibuan, Staff Expert to the Minister for Digital\nTransformation and Inter-Institutional Relations at the Coordinating\nMinistry for Food, stated that the current impact of the war and the\nStrait of Hormuz closure on national food supplies is not yet\nsignificant. This is because Indonesia\u2019s dependence on food imports has\ndecreased, with needs for rice to corn now relying on domestic\nproduction.<\/p>\n<p>Imports of wheat to soybeans, meanwhile, come from Australia, Russia,\nCanada to Ukraine, which do not pass through the Strait of Hormuz.\nHowever, imported fertiliser raw materials, mainly sulphur from Kuwait\nand Qatar, are sufficiently disrupted, leading to the replacement of\nsulphur alternatives with domestically produced sulphuric acid.<\/p>\n<p>What are Indonesia\u2019s strategies to face the impact of the Middle East\nwar?
