President Prabowo Subianto highlighted the unusual involvement of Indonesia’s military (TNI) and police (Polri) in bolstering national food security. He noted a unique situation where police are involved in agricultural matters, and soldiers are frequently found working in rice paddies. This indicates a national effort to increase food production and achieve self-sufficiency. The President’s comments suggest a broader strategy utilizing national institutions beyond traditional agricultural ministries. Details regarding the scale and specific roles of the TNI and Polri were not immediately available. This initiative reflects concerns about food security and a willingness to employ unconventional methods to address them. The move signals a prioritization of agricultural output under the current administration.
