Let’s strive for a brighter future for all,’ he stated.
Amran’s optimism stems from the government’s comprehensive strategies to strengthen the agricultural sector and bolster food security. These initiatives include increasing agricultural funding, promoting sustainable practices, and fostering innovation in farming methods. ‘We are laying the groundwork for a more resilient and prosperous agricultural industry,’ he affirmed.
As Indonesia moves towards achieving food self-sufficiency, Amran remains committed to transparency and accountability in the agricultural sector. He emphasized the importance of accurate data and effective governance in ensuring the success of these endeavors. ‘We must uphold the principles of integrity and diligence in all our actions,’ he asserted.
In conclusion, Minister Andi Amran Sulaiman’s confidence in Indonesia’s ability to achieve food self-sufficiency reflects the nation’s determination to overcome challenges and build a secure future.
