00:00The Ministry of Food and Agriculture stated that the importation of rice will reach 2.2 million tons by May 2024.
00:07There is also a plan to import rice from June to December, which is still around 2.1 million tons.
00:12Despite this, Mr. Panas stated that the absorption of domestic production is the main thing in providing the national food stock.
00:20The Ministry of Food and Agriculture will adjust the rest of the national rice import if the national rice production can meet the planned target.
00:33The Secretary of the Ministry of Food and Agriculture, Mr. Sarwoe, explained that Mr. Panas noted that the initial stock reached 4.1 million tons of rice.
00:41With an estimated production of 31.3 million tons this year, Mr. Panas hopes that rice production will not be hampered by the importation until mid-July, which has reached 2.2 million tons.
00:52Mr. Panas said that the remaining imported rice has reached 2.1 million tons.
00:57However, Mr. Sarwoe ensured that the remaining imported rice can be met if the rice production is sufficient.
01:04The importation of rice in January and May has reached 2.2 million tons.
01:09The importation of rice in June and December has reached 2.1 million tons.
01:15Of course, the importation of rice is adjusted to the domestic production.
01:23This means that if the domestic production can be met, the importation will not be done.
01:33So, the total supply is 39.8 million tons and the need for one year is 31.2 million tons.
01:42With the national rice consumption reaching more than 23 million tons per year, Mr. Panas observed that the rice supply surplus can reach 8 million tons by the end of 2024
01:52if the national production meets the target.
01:54It is estimated that the supply will be enough for three months or until the harvest season next year.
