inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. Chairwoman of Commission IV of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR), Siti Hediati Soeharto, familiarly known as Titiek Soeharto, expressed her appreciation for the Indonesian National Police (INP) Chief, General Listyo Sigit Prabowo, and his staff for contributing to the success of Prabowo Subianto's Asta Cita program regarding food security.
Titiek made this statement while participating in the third quarter corn planting on 795,339.53 hectares of land spread across 36 regions in Indonesia on Wednesday (7/9/2025). The event was also attended by Minister of Agriculture Andi Amran and Minister of Forestry Raja Juli Natoni.
"The initiative of INP Chief and his staff in increasing national food sovereignty and accelerating food self-sufficiency is something we are very proud of and should be highly appreciated," said Titiek.
Titiek also mentioned President Prabowo Subianto's state address during his inauguration. At that time, Prabowo declared that Indonesia must achieve food self-sufficiency as quickly as possible and no longer rely on external food sources.
The food self-sufficiency target, Titiek said, would not be achieved quickly if only the Ministry of Agriculture was working. Therefore, mutual cooperation and collaboration are needed throughout the nation, including with INP.
"INP has done an extraordinary job supporting national corn production through involvement in all stages, from land acquisition and distribution of superior seeds and fertilizers, planting, providing rice assistance, and ensuring post-harvest absorption," she said.
