Prabowo Reveals Jokowi's Reasons for Speeding Up Food Estate Project

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.TV - Minister of Defense Prabowo Subianto revealed the reasons why President Jokowi is speeding up the food estate project. According to Prabowo, with the food estate project, President Jokowi wants to develop a strong defense with a holistic dimension.

"President Joko Widodo wants to develop a strong defense with a holistic dimension by strengthening military and non-military defense at the same time. This means that the government, in this case the President, is increasingly aware that fulfilling the people's right to food is a strategic issue regarding the rise and fall of a country," said Prabowo Subianto.

This was conveyed by Prabowo when attending virtually the open Senate Meeting of the 57th Anniversary of the Faculty of Forestry, Gadjah Mada University virtually on Friday (23/10/2020).

According to Prabowo, during the Covid-19 pandemic, FAO also issued a warning regarding the food crisis that all countries must anticipate.

"As we know, FAO in 2020 has issued a warning that a food crisis may hit the world because of the Covid-19 pandemic. And also because there are uncertain or unpredictable seasons," he said.

"Therefore, we need to anticipate quickly by creating a national strategic logistics reserve. The development of new food barns outside Java which is currently in progress is expected to become a source of national strategic logistics reserves to prevent shortages of domestic food supplies and reduce imports," he continued.
