In a week, sometimes only once do I eat fish. Sometimes I only eat vegetables every day, without a side dish. Vegetable dishes like cassava leaves and water spinach. The data from the Agriculture and Food Security Agency in NTT shows that rice production in NTT in 2022 is only 430,948.5 tons, far below the consumption which reached 642,367.53 tons. The rice deficit is fulfilled by shipments from outside, especially from South Sulawesi and Java.Changes in consumption patterns have led to the high consumption of rice, one of which is the belief that rice is a first-class food.
Coordinator of the People's Coalition for Food Sovereignty, Said Abdullah, said in an interview on Saturday that a rice deficit also occurred nationally due to the declining rice crop production area and stagnant productivity, even tending to decrease. Indonesia finally became dependent on imported rice supplies.
In the 1970s, the proportion of wheat as a staple food in Indonesia was only 4 percent. In 2010, it had increased to 18.3 percent, in 2020 it reached 26.6 percent, and in 2021 it reached 28 percent."If this trend continues, by 2050, wheat consumption as a staple food in Indonesia could approach 50 percent and be 100 percent imported," he added.
However, the fact shows that local food is increasingly displaced."Currently, we are trying to translate it through the preparation of a Presidential Regulation draft on Acceleration of Food Diversification based on local resource potentials," he said. In Kendari, Southeast Sulawesi, the price of medium-quality rice is around Rp 14,000 per kilogram and premium-quality rice is approximately Rp 15,000 per kilogram. However, the prices in the small islands of Southeast Sulawesi are much higher.
Food economist from the Institute for Development of Economics and Finance , Rusli Abdullah, said that the food situation on small islands shows a threat to food security. Referring to the definition in Law No. 18/2012, the measure of national food security uses three dimensions, namely food availability, food affordability/access, and food utilization."What is happening now is that there is a threat to the affordability and availability aspects of food.
