The government must take immediate and extraordinary measures to save our food and strive to fulfill the farmers' wishes. Hopefully the slogan, "Let's make farmers prosperous" is not merely empty jargon.

How is the food situation in Indonesia? For commodities that are highly dependent on imports, such as wheat, garlic, dairy products, soybeans, prices will tend to be stable, and even have the potential to fall in 2023.

The government needs to reverse the food policies that can create more producers to offset high consumption. If the farmers prosper, we may expect the food production to increase, and us to prosper too.

We hope that Indonesia's food security position will improve in 2022. The key is to put in efforts to make farmers prosper. The production will increase and so will our prosperity.
