President Prabowo Subianto has granted special authority to Minister\nof Agriculture Amran Sulaiman to accelerate food self-sufficiency. This\nauthority was given by the head of state to Amran through the issuance\nof Presidential Instruction (Inpres) No.\u00a02 of 2026 on Accelerating Food\nSelf-Sufficiency in Agriculture to Realise National Resilience and\nNational Independence.<\/p>\n
In the regulation issued on 25 March 2026, Prabowo grants three main\nauthorities to Amran over state-owned enterprises in the fields of\nagriculture, agroindustry, and food logistics. The state companies in\nquestion include PT Agrinas Pangan Nusantara (Persero), PT Agrinas Palma\nNusantara (Persero), PT Perkebunan Nusantara III (Persero), PT Rajawali\nNusantara Indonesia (Persero), PT Pupuk Indonesia (Persero), and Perum\nBulog.<\/p>\n
What are Prabowo\u2019s mandates to Amran for accelerating food\nself-sufficiency?<\/p>\n
Assignment to Food SOEs<\/p>\n
In the Inpres, Prabowo requests Amran to assign tasks to food SOEs in\norder to accelerate food self-sufficiency in agriculture in accordance\nwith applicable laws and regulations.<\/p>\n
Written Recommendations on SOE Performance<\/p>\n
Then, Prabowo requests Amran to provide written recommendations on\nthe main performance indicators for the assignment of SOEs in\nagriculture, agroindustry, and food logistics for accelerating food\nself-sufficiency in agriculture.<\/p>\n
Can Recommend SOE Boards<\/p>\n
Finally, President grants Minister of Agriculture Amran the authority\nto provide written considerations for the appointment and dismissal of\nDirectors, Boards of Commissioners, and Supervisory Boards of SOEs in\nagriculture, agroindustry, and food logistics.<\/p>\n
The Inpres does not specifically mandate the Minister of Agriculture.\nThe President also gives instructions to three leaders of\nministries\/institutions, namely the Minister of Finance, the Head of the\nSOE Management Agency, and the Head of the BPI Danantara Implementing\nAgency.<\/p>\n
For example, the Minister of Finance is tasked with providing\nfinancial and technical budgeting support to ensure the programme runs\nsmoothly. This support includes providing the necessary budget for\naccelerating food self-sufficiency.<\/p>\n
The Head of the SOE Management Agency plays a role in supporting the\nimplementation of assignments to SOEs. This institution also considers\nrecommendations from the Minister of Agriculture regarding performance\nindicators and follows up on proposals for the appointment and dismissal\nof directors or commissioners.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Head of BPI Danantara is tasked with providing\ntechnical support in managing the operations of the involved SOEs. This\nrole includes strengthening operational aspects so that the food\nself-sufficiency programme can run effectively.<\/p>\n
Although they have different tasks, these four ministries and\ninstitutions bear the same goal. They must accelerate the availability\nof domestic food production, improve distribution, and promote\nsustainable consumption patterns and farming systems.<\/p>\n
They are also asked to resolve various obstacles in the food supply\nchain, from production to distribution. Every programme development must\nbe reported to the President periodically.<\/p>\n
To support the implementation of this policy, the government\nstipulates that funding sources come from the State Revenue and\nExpenditure Budget as well as other lawful and non-binding sources in\naccordance with applicable laws and regulations.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/what-are-minister-amrans-duties-in-food-soes-1776675053", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
