: The Indonesian Government is planning to import 22,500 tonnes of rice from Cambodia to complement domestic stocks in meeting the needs ahead of Eid al-Fitr, the National Food Agency stated.
The agency head made the statement after attending a meeting chaired by President Joko Widodo at the Presidential Palace. He expressed optimism about Indonesian farmers achieving the target of rice output, which, in turn, is expected to lead to a decline in the prices of the staple commodity. “Last year, the government distributed 10 kilogrammes of rice aid to 22 million beneficiaries for seven months. We have decided to continue the distribution for six months this year,“ he pointed out.
