Jakarta (ANTARA) – Agriculture Minister Andi Amran Sulaiman is seeking to make Indonesia a world food superpower, thereby calling all elements of the nation to unite to strengthen national food security.”We want this republic to endure for thousands of years to come, and for Indonesia to become a superpower in a short period,” he said on the sidelines of a visit to a Bulog warehouse in Makassar, South Sulawesi, on Sunday.According to him, Indonesia currently possesses strong water, food, energy, and protein security.He believes Indonesia holds immense potential to become a global power under President Prabowo Subianto’s visionary leadership, which has steered national development toward self-sufficiency and resilience across strategic sectors, including food and energy.However, the minister cautioned that certain parties may oppose Indonesia’s self-sufficiency move, including those allegedly involved in “mafia” practices.According to him, these parties might be driven by foreign interests, benefiting when Indonesia faces challenges, particularly in its efforts to achieve sustainable national food self-sufficiency.Nevertheless, he assured that current conditions show significant progress. Food availability is secure, protein needs are being met, and the energy sector is showing a positive trend as national import dependency declines.Minister Sulaiman also noted that exports are on the rise and farmer welfare has reached its highest level since Indonesia's independence. This, he continued, serves as a key indicator of the country's success in national agricultural development.Nationally, rice reserves currently reach 4.5 million tons. In the next 20 days, the amount is expected to rise to 5 million tons and even hit 6 million tons in two months.He compared the current situation with previous years, when stocks for the same period stood at around 1.5 million tons. This represents a threefold increase, or a surge of approximately 200 percent.
