Erick Thohir: Indonesia Must Achieve Food Security and Reduce Import Reliance

“From 141 companies, we have reduced it to 41. One of these is for the food value chain cluster where there had previously been several companies which we have consolidated as one company while remaining focused on its core business.”

A food value chain cluster serves to manufacture corn, rice, sugar, chicken, goat, fish, chili peppers, shallots, and salt encompassing the nine commodities the Food State-Owned Enterprises in Indonesia produces.

Aside from achieving national food security, a food cluster in Indonesia supports the government’s ‘Golden Indonesia in 2045’ initiative. The first pillar of the initiative calls for achieving security in food, health, and energy.
