Sources: 6. Developments: 2. The Indonesian government has initiated several agricultural and food security interventions. Initially, in Alor Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, Agriculture Minister Andi Amran Sulaiman launched food assistance programs to address high rice prices and poverty. This included distributing 30 kilograms of rice per family to over 37,000 residents and planning the development of 10,000 hectares of productive land for both short-term crops and long-term commodities. Following these efforts, the Ministry of Agriculture expanded its scope by implementing new regulations to provide agricultural machinery and equipment to landless farm laborers. This allows workers without land ownership to form groups and access tools like tractors and harvesters. Additionally, in Karawang, West Java, the government has focused on drought mitigation through large-scale pumping optimization and irrigation repairs to increase rice planting frequency and production value. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-31: Agriculture Minister Amran expands aid to landless laborers Agriculture Minister Andi Amran Sulaiman has launched new regulations allowing landless farm laborers to access machinery assistance and is implementing pumping programs in Karawang to boost rice production. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/indonesia-expands-agricultural-machinery-aid-to-landless-farm-laborers ### 2026-08-08: Alor Regency receives food aid and agricultural intervention Agriculture Minister Andi Amran Sulaiman is implementing food aid and long-term agricultural development in Alor, NTT, to stabilize rice prices and reduce poverty following local community appeals. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/indonesias-agriculture-minister-andi-amran-sulaiman-unveils-threephase-plan-for-alor-ntt --- Cite as: Indonesian agricultural and food security interventions.
