From Production to Irigation, this is Capaian Food 2 Year Prabow@@

Exactly two years of President Prabowo Subianto's reign and Vice President Gibran Raka Raka, strengthening national food resistance shows results through the increase in the production of rice and corn over 2025, the supply of rice in the country beyond target in 2026, as well as the government's food reserves. That step is supported by the cost of money, the development of irrigation, the support of production and agricultural innovation in different parts of Indonesia.

The Statistics Center (BPS) records the production of the national grain by 2025 to 60.21 million tons of drilled gilling (GKG), increasing 13.29% of 53.14 million tons in 2024. If we convert it into rice for population food consumption, the production is 34.69 million tons, growing 4.07 million tons more than the previous year. The harvest area also increased 12.69% to 11.32 million hectares.

Positive performance is visible to the commodity of corn. According to BPS, the production of corn is 14% dry-colored water-based in 2025 to 16.16 million tons, up 6.74% from 15.14 million tons in 2024. It became part of the reinforcement of food and food supply, and showed the importance of diversification of production beyond rice.

For President Prabowo, food resistance is part of the nation's endurance in the face of global uncertainty and climate change. The president also emphasized government readiness in anticipating El Nino's risks and drought.

"Thank God the food swasembada had already, our food reserves were enough," said Prabowo in the Modern Dundern Darussalam Gontor, East Java, a while ago.

On the side of the crop absorption, the BULOG perch reports the procurement and domestic rice supply has reached 4,131,492 tons of rice equal to October 11, 2026. That realization is equal to 103.29% of the government's targets are 4 million tons, which includes the highest procurement in the history of BULOG. It also transcends the realization of a 2025 procurement that reaches 3,191,969 tons of rice.

Main Director Perum BULOG Ahmad Rial Ramdhani insists that the success beyond the target is a work shared by various parties in sentra production.

"Successful beyond this target becomes evidence that by joint work, the government can we run optimal," said Ahmad Rigal a while ago.

The reinforcement of the procurement followed the reserve effort and food outreach. The National Food Agency (Bapanas) records that government's backup supply is at 4.6 million tons per September 18, 2026. The government also continued Stabilization Supply and Food Price (SPHP) program and prepared the allocation of rice food aid for 33.24 million recipients - December 2026, each of them 10 kilograms a month. The program is prepared to be channeled gradually in accordance with the terms of the target society.

Meanwhile, the Minister of Agriculture and Chief of Bandaas Andi Amran Solomon confirmed the importance of reserve rice to maintain access to public food.

"Our stock in Bulog, today there are 4.6 million tons," to review the food aid distribution in Pekanbaru, Riau, on September 17, 2026.

In order to preserve the interests of farmers, the government also maintains the price of government purchases a harvest of Rp6,500 per kilogram through domestic procurement policy.

National food capians are born of regional contributions. In Sumatra, the production of southern Sumatra rice in 2025 reached 3.63 million tons of GKG, increased 24.67% versus 2024. Meanwhile, Aceh, Northern Sumatra, and Lampung continue to play as a food production base as well as an infrastructure reinforcement and agricultural restoration area. In Java, the production of East Java is up to 10.44 million tons of GKG and Western Java 10.23 million tons of GKG in 2025, making them the main support of national rice supply.

Outside Java, South Kalimantan records the production of grain of approximately 1.18 million tons of GKG in 2025, up 14.55% versus 2024. South Sulawesi produces 5.47 million tons of GKG, increasing 13.45%.

Southeast Western Nusa reached 1.71 million tons of GKG, growing 17.56%. Meanwhile, South Papua produced 362.54 thousand tons of GKG in 2025, showing contributions to the east in strengthening national production bases.

The reinforcement of the east agricultural sector is also done through the expansion and optimization of land. The Ministry of Agriculture reports the development of 83,030 hectares for new rice printing and land optimization of 54,399 hectares in Papua Land to 2026.

The implementation of the program needs to continue with farmers, water readiness, the certainty of land management, and the protection of the local people's interests in order to increase production in a sustainable way.

To support productivity, the Ministry of Public Works realises the development and rehabilitation of irrigation networks that serve about 589.606 hectares in 2025 and target coverage of 750,000 hectares in 2026.

"This entire achievement is a commitment to the PU Ministry in ensuring infrastructure supporting the survival of food, education, and economic growth of the region," said the PU Minister Dody Hyundo a while ago.

Agricultural modernization is also amplified through the utilization of digital technology. The Ministry of Communication and Digital (Kemkomdigi) prompts Internet use of Things (LOT) and artificially intelligent intelligence to help farmers measure land conditions and manage the migration more accurately.

In one example of application in the Sragen, Central Java, the use of soil sensors is reported to be able to suppress fertilizer from about 1,600 kilograms to 750 kilograms per hectare or about 53%. In Sukabumi, Java West, the tech also used the power of the lila fish to maintain the water conditions and support production.

Meanwhile, the Minister of Communication and Digital Meutya Hafid confirmed that technology should be present to answer the needs of the mámonos..
