Indonesia Must Stockpile All Foods, Not Just Rice, for El Nino

Indonesia should strengthen reserves of all key food commodities, not just rice, to prepare for the upcoming dry season. Experts warn that relying solely on rice stockpiles leaves the country vulnerable to price spikes and shortages of other essential items during an El Nino event. The government is urged to broaden its food reserve strategy to include items like cooking oil, sugar, and meat. This approach aims to stabilize markets and ensure food security for millions of citizens.
