Press Statement of President of the Republic of Indonesia after the Inspection of Rice Harvest in Sigi Regency, Central Sulawesi Province, March 27, 2024

President of the Republic of Indonesia (Joko Widodo):

Yes, I want to see the large harvest in Sigi Regency, Central Sulawesi, and the results I see are good, around 6 to 6.2 tons per hectare, which is good. However, the Minister of Agriculture is pushing for faster replanting. So, after harvesting, the land will be immediately processed with tractors, with more modern mechanized machines, and this will accelerate the start of replanting.

Journalist:

What about the match between Indonesia and Vietnam last night, how does Indonesia respond to the win, Sir?

President of the Republic of Indonesia (Joko Widodo):

Hm?

Journalist:

Indonesia won, Indonesia won against Vietnam, Sir?

President of the Republic of Indonesia (Joko Widodo):

Yes, I think all the people are happy, how we could win in the opponent’s home ground, in Medin, Vietnam, and with a decisive score of 3-0. Yes, last night we watched it very, very, very enthusiastically and this shows that there will be an improvement in the ranking, there will be step by step progress, there will be continuous improvements in our national team, both U-20 and U-23. Everything will continue to improve by PSSI under Mr. Erick Thohir’s command.
