Presidential candidate number 02, Prabowo Subianto, during the second presidential debate held on Sunday (17/2), expressed his desire for Indonesia to be able to provide its own food supply without imports from other countries. This is because, until now, many food commodities still have to be imported.

According to Katadata's research, Indonesia does indeed still import several food commodities to meet domestic needs and to support government policies in stabilizing prices. The Central Bureau of Statistics recorded that one of the largest food imports during the January-November 2018 period was wheat and meslin seeds, reaching 9.2 million tons, followed by sugar at 4.6 million tons. Then, salt imports amounted to 2.5 million tons, soybeans 2.4 million tons, and rice 2.2 million tons.

The increase in domestic needs, which is outpacing production, has forced the government to import several food commodities from abroad. Low productivity is one of the causes of food imports.
