As rainy season has started in many provinces, we want to encourage farmers to immediately start planting rice because previously our harvest time was delayed due to El Nino so now we will immediately start planting. We hope that in March or April we will start the harvest.<\/p>\n

Previously, for subsidized fertilizer you had to use a Farmer’s Card, but now you can use identity card, which makes it simpler, but this only apply in certain regions, not all.<\/p>\n \n Press<\/strong> \n President of the Republic of Indonesia (Joko Widodo)<\/strong> \n Press<\/strong> \n President of the Republic of Indonesia (Joko Widodo)<\/strong> \n Press<\/strong> \n President of the Republic of Indonesia (Joko Widodo)<\/strong> \n Press<\/strong> \n President of the Republic of Indonesia (Joko Widodo)<\/strong> \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Press<\/strong> (EST\/EP)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As rainy season has started in many provinces, we want to encourage farmers to immediately start planting rice because previously our harvest time was delayed due to El Nino so now we will immediately start planting.

\nSir, some farmers are still complaining about the scarcity of fertilizer.<\/p>\n
\nHow much the target for this year\u2019s harvest?<\/p>\n
\nThe target must increase because it was down due to El Nino.<\/p>\n
\nHow is the implementation for the Farmer’s Card?<\/p>\n
\nThose who do not have a Farmer’s Card can use identity card while the Government get their Farmer’s Card fixed.<\/p>\n
\nToday’s Kompas survey shows that regarding the Government’s performance, the public still trusts the Government’s performance by almost 75 percent. Any comment, Sir?<\/p>\n
\nThis is all for the Government\u2019s evaluation, for correction if there are things that are still lacking or things that need to be improved because a survey data is the general field data so we use the numbers as evaluation material, as correction material, as material for improvements to correct the shortcomings as there is a lot that needs to be improved.<\/p>\n
\nIn general for paddy and rice stocks, is it sufficient?<\/p>\n
\nIt is. The stock at the State Logistics Agency (Bulog) as per yesterday morning is 1.4 million tons.<\/p>\n
\nThank you, Sir.<\/p>\n
