IMPORTING RICE AGREEMENT WITH PAKISTAN, INDONESIA AN AGRARIS COUNTRY IS A MERE SYMBOL

Importing rice agreement betwenn Indonesia and pakistan in certain measure ruins the title indonesia as agraris country. The incapability of the country to sustain the prevailing rice domestic market demand plays as the paradox for having big country witholding all necessary requisites in agriculutural terms yet uregenty tied to import rice from country like pakistan which is relatively smaller than indonesia.

Pakistan trading agency has finalized  tender of 15,000 metric tons of rice export to Indonesia which includes
5,000 metric tons of basmati rice and 10,000 metric tonnes of non-basmati rice.
The minister claimed this step is necessarily taken to curb the preaviling and fulfilling high demand in our domestic market.

To be true with the policy of government, there is the mostly feasible means taken to fulfil the demand of rice which is not covered by local production of rice agriculture in our country.

Nevertheless, it's a such paradox then knowing the embeded title as agraris country of Indonesia seems to be a mere label for even the prevoius years Indonesia's unceasingly depending on imported rice like thailand,vietnam and lately pakistan.

Importing rice agreement with pakistan definitely not at all the government is worth to be blamed. However, it is the responsibiliy of the government to regain the ultimate title of the country by maximizing the agricultural sectors which was initially the puncheon of the country since independence era. This so big country has so wide land for agriculture, the problem then there's no seriousness to cultivate modernly technocally, human resources and supporting sources like irigation, equipments, fertilizers etc.

The program of government in aline with his prelimiary vision is to build well managed agriculuture which's considered to have discrepancy, inefficient, and ineffective during previous government.

It can be seen from the giant reservoir constructions in NTT, CENTRAL JAVA, IRIAN and many other places. 

Indeed this signals incredible breakthroughs.The fact rice importing surely sets critical notes for us, it's the responsibility of all then to regain the title as the agraris country of Indonesia.
