Jakarta: President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) urged ministries and agencies to beware of the impact of climate change that could hamper agricultural production during the planting and harvest seasons at the start of the year.
“Be vigilant to climate change that could possibly disrupt the planned planting and harvest seasons. Thus, calculations regarding safe conditions and strategic food reserves must be carried out well,” he stated at the plenary cabinet meeting at the State Palace here on Tuesday.
Jokowi drew the attention of all ministries and agencies to the importance of planning the planting of food crops and calculating production data to ensure the availability of food at the start of this year.
Furthermore, he pressed for food stocks and availability at the start of the year to be secured.
