PT Food Station Tjipinang Jaya focuses on strengthening priority food reserves to anticipate the threat of a food crisis and economic recession in 2023.

In this case, we receive a regional capital investment (PMD) by Rp 89 billion

Food Station President Director, Pamrihadi Wiraryo said the provision of food reserves will be intensified such as unhulled rice, rice, and even fortified rice next year.

His party will also continue to develop cultivation for several areas with 1,000-hectare land and strengthen contract farming programs with rice-producing areas of 10,000 hectares.

"We also get support from the legislator. In this case, we receive a regional capital investment (PMD) by Rp 89 billion," he said, Sunday (11/6).

He went on to say that his party is in the process of changing the legal entity from PT Food Station Tjipinang Jaya to a Regional Company in order to optimize efforts to meet the food needs of the community through various efforts from upstream to downstream.

"We are mandated to deepen and describe the work process from upstream to downstream," he continued.

For marketing, his party is currently penetrating supply to Kalimantan in collaboration with PT Sinar Pangan Borneo, which carries the FS Borneofood brand.

"Hopefully, next year, our objective is to touch the entire Kalimantan area plus Bali area. We're also preparing cooperation with prospective buyers from Saudi Arabia, thus we can expand our market to foreign countries," he explained.

He also ensured that besides rice, food reserves such as sugar, wheat flour, cooking oil, corn, and coffee would be maintained and met. He was committed to maintaining a balance and affordability of prices, maintaining food supply, sustainable distribution, and standardizing prices, and quality.

"We are ready to be at the forefront if there is a food crisis in the future, as well as looking for other sources of funding besides PMD," he closed.
