00:00The government does not want to force the farmers to defend the price of rice for the consumers.
00:07At the same time, it does not want to force the consumers to pay for the price of paddy fields.
00:16Therefore, I announce that the government agrees to increase the price of paddy fields from Rp. 1,300 to Rp. 1,500
00:30for each metric ton on 16 February 2025.
00:39This will increase the cost of taxes, inputs, agriculture, pesticides, etc.
00:46and impact on the cost of rice production and the price of rice in the market.
00:53I also want to inform that the KPKM
01:00is currently concluding a joint meeting with the Ministry of Trade and the Ministry of Finance
01:13to enable the appreciation of services in the paddy industry
01:18and rice is also eligible to receive subsidies in sales under the Budi Madani program.
01:30The government will maintain the price of local white rice at Rp. 2.60 per kilogram
01:53by absorbing some of the export costs of Rp. 150 million for 6 months.
02:00Rp. 150 million for 6 months to ensure the availability of local white rice supplies
02:22in around 24 million paddy fields and 10 programs in the market.
02:27The KPKM is currently concluding a joint meeting with the Ministry of Trade and the Ministry of Finance
02:32and it will be announced after the meeting is concluded in the near future.
02:38Once again, I emphasize that the government is committed to make the rice and paddy industry
02:47as the main support to the national food security with full support from all parties.
02:55I am confident that this agreement can be realized for the welfare of the current generation and the future.
03:02Let us all support all efforts to ensure that the agenda of the national food security
03:10remains as the priority at all times.
