        "content": "<p>JAKARTA \u2014 Deputy Minister of Agriculture Sudaryono, alias Mas Dar,\nsaid that the current stock of the Government Rice Reserve (CBP) reached\n5.47 million tonnes. He made the remarks during a Working Meeting of the\nMinistry of Agriculture with Commission IV of the Indonesian House of\nRepresentatives at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on Tuesday\n(19 May 2026). Mas Dar said the CBP stock data refer to data from Perum\nBulog, the state food logistics company tasked with absorbing paddy rice\nfrom farmers. \u2018Cadangan beras sampai dengan 18 Mei mencapai 5,37 juta\nton, tertinggi sepanjang sejarah Republik Indonesia,\u2019 said Mas Dar, as\nquoted in the official statement from the Government Public Relations\nAgency (Bakom RI) on Tuesday. That amount is equivalent to 70 percent of\nthe total rice absorption task that the government ordered Bulog to\nabsorb at 4 million tonnes in 2026. Mas Dar estimated that by the end of\nthe first half of 2026, Bulog could absorb 3.3 million tonnes of rice\nand rice equivalents, about 82 percent of this year\u2019s target. \u2018This\nfigure (the first-half projection) is up 25.54 percent from last year\u2019s\nrealisation, which was 2.65 million tonnes,\u2019 he said. Furthermore, the\nally of President Prabowo Subianto is confident Bulog will meet the\ngovernment\u2019s rice absorption target. The conviction is based on a\nharvest area reaching 929 thousand hectares in May. Meanwhile, the\nharvested area for June is projected to reach 841 thousand hectares.\nBased on these figures, the government is confident Bulog will meet the\n4 million-tonne target in the second half. \u2018From July to December, the\nprocurement target is 670 thousand tonnes, or up 24.16 percent from the\nprevious year,\u2019 he said.<\/p>",
