Rice harvest in Bogor

This was done because domestic rice stocks were depleting and to maintain food security due to increasing global food prices.

It is estimated that global food prices in 2023 will continue to increase, at least for the first half of the year. The energy crisis and supply chain bottlenecks are the most influential causes of this inflation EPA/ADI WEDA
