The General Chairman of PKB conveyed, it is very dangerous if the country still relies on imports. He stated that in other countries, they have started to stop exports because the domestic needs have become very large.

"I heard that Vietnam is also starting to reduce exports, Thailand is the same, and what is clear is that we all want in the government period of 2024-2029, anyway, how to achieve our total self-sufficiency in food without relying on others in our food."
