Indonesia is implementing domestic and regional strategies to enhance food security. Domestically, the government has streamlined subsidized fertilizer governance by consolidating 145 regulations into three. This reform, directed by President Prabowo Subianto, aims to simplify distribution from the Ministry of Agriculture and Pupuk Indonesia to farmers. The initiative includes a 20 percent reduction in the maximum retail price for several fertilizer types, such as urea and NPK, and seeks to protect at least 87 percent of standard rice field land.

On a regional level, Indonesia is advocating for ASEAN member states to strengthen agricultural cooperatives to combat threats from climate change and El Nino. During the 32nd ACEDAC meeting, Indonesian officials emphasized that cooperatives should act as drivers for the real sector by connecting farmers to financing, technology, and market access to ensure regional food stability.
