inp.polri.go.id - East OKU. The Simultaneous Corn Harvest in the Third Quarter of 2025 reaffirms the Indonesian National Police's (INP) commitment to supporting national food security. Not only assisting farmers in the cultivation process, INP also ensured that the harvest was properly distributed to the Bulog warehouse to maintain food stocks and ensure more equitable distribution.
From July to September, the corn harvest was carried out on 166,512 hectares of land throughout Indonesia. The yields reached more than 751 thousand tons, adding to the accumulated national corn production which has reached 2.8 million tons since the beginning of the year.
Following the implementation of the third quarter harvest centered in East OKU Regency, South Sumatra Province, INP together with Bulog carried out a flag-off for the distribution of corn from the simultaneous harvest. Nationally, the potential corn distributed reached 1,765 tons. Of this amount, 614 tons came from South Sumatra and 100 tons were distributed directly from East OKU.
"Today, we will dispatch 1,765 tons of corn to Bulog, specifically to South Sumatra Province, with 614 tons of corn being distributed to Bulog, and 100 tons from OKU will be prioritized for Bulog," said INP Chief on Saturday (9/27/2025).
This initiative demonstrates the synergy between INP and Bulog to strengthen national food reserves. With the flow of harvested crops to official warehouses, farmers receive market certainty, while the public receives guaranteed corn availability for consumption and industry.
"Therefore, we continue to strive to achieve this with the full support of relevant ministries, strategic partners, the community, and farmer groups (gapoktan), and currently, with the existing collaboration," explained INP Chief.
With this support, the national corn procurement target of 1 million tons by 2025 is expected to be achieved. INP efforts, through farmer assistance, harvest monitoring, and distribution to Bulog, are an integral part of the strategy to maintain food stability.
"Of course, we ask all staff to continue supporting our fellow farmerz from weeding, maintenance, harvesting, and how we can help optimize the increase in corn absorption, so that farmers can truly achieve optimal results," said INP Chief.
