inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. From January to October 2025, national rice production reached 31 million tons, a historic high.
As reported by RRI, this surge marks the government's success in maintaining economic stability while strengthening public food security.
Rice reserves at Bulog now stand at 4.2 million tons, an all-time high. This achievement demonstrates that Prabowo-Gibran's economic policies have had a tangible impact on the real sector.
A total of 67,000 MSMEs, farmers, and fishermen are now bankable again and connected to formal financial institutions. This policy expands access to capital and encourages economic growth in various regions.
To improve agricultural efficiency, the government revoked 145 fertilizer distribution regulations that hampered the supply chain. Fertilizer now reaches farmers directly without intermediaries, speeding up distribution and reducing production costs.
President Prabowo Subianto emphasized that public welfare is the primary measure of a nation's success. He believes that economic development must always favor the common people so that its benefits are felt fairly.
"If the people still continue to suffer, then I say we have failed as an independent nation. We can only succeed as an independent nation if our people are prosperous," said President Prabowo at the Annual Session of the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) and the Joint Session of the DPR-DPD at the Nusantara Building on Friday (8/15/2025).
The Farmer's Exchange Rate (NTP) also increased to 124.36, the highest in Indonesian history. The government has created 225,000 hectares of new rice fields to strengthen national food self-sufficiency.
This measure expands production capacity while ensuring long-term food security.
The achievements of the people's economy and food security in the first year of the Prabowo-Gibran administration are an important foundation for the transformation of national development.
The government is committed to maintaining price stability, strengthening production, and expanding the benefits of policies for public welfare.
