00:00Indonesia's food security is still far behind Singapore's neighbors.

00:10In fact, the food security issue has threatened the livelihoods of around 45 million Indonesians.

00:19In the National Movement for Inflation Control, or GNPIP, in Java,

00:25food security has become an important priority as a food condition that must be completed by the government,

00:31for the country, and for everyone.

00:35The Director-General of the Ministry of Home Affairs, Restuardi Daud,

00:40said that Singapore's food security is superior even though the country does not have as much agricultural land as Indonesia,

00:47where the availability of sufficient and affordable food will continue to make the people healthy and productive.

00:55In addition to Singapore, Daud compares Indonesia to Thailand, which also produces and even exports rice.

01:02According to him, the food security of Thailand is low and still better than Indonesia.

01:06For that, Indonesia needs to rely on food trade that is supported by logistical technology and good management.

01:13Let's move on to the topic of food security.

01:17If we look at some neighboring countries, such as Singapore,

01:20Singapore does not have as much land as we do.

01:24It is an importer country, but it has food security above us.

01:30If we look at Thailand, it is also a comparison.

01:32For example, Thailand is a food exporter country, but we are still slightly better than Thailand in terms of food security.

01:40It means that it is not about size, whether it is an importer or exporter, but more about our resilience.

01:49How we can also rely on food trade, supported by good logistical technology and good management.

01:57For example, we have Miling Rice technology that can increase efficiency,

02:03accelerate the quality of rice production to become premium.

02:09These are also the parts that can determine the steps for our food security in the future.

02:17Based on the facts, as many as 7 to 16% of the people are hungry.

02:23If you look at the data of the Central Statistical Body per June 2024,

02:26the number of Indonesian citizens is as many as 281 million 603 thousand souls.

02:32It means around 19.71 million to 45.05 million Indonesian souls are hungry.

02:39In the 2024 State Budget, the food security budget is aimed at increasing the availability,

02:44access and stabilization of food worth Rp 114.3 trillion.
