“We reported to the President that national rice production increased by 4.1 million tons, which is our strongest performance in five years,” Minister Amran said on Wednesday (5/11/2025), as reported by antaranews.com. 

He added that national rice stocks are projected to exceed 3 million tons by year-end, ensuring stable food supply and prices.
