What does Indonesian President Prabowo's food self-sufficiency plan mean for Australian agriculture?
ABCAustralia's agricultural sector will be keeping an eye on Indonesia and its new president, Prabowo Subianto, who surged to power with a number of food policies such as giving schoolchildren free meals and milk. "There's still good demand in Indonesia for fresh meat and there's actually feedlot expansions going on at the moment and some new feedlotters coming into play — it's very positive," Mr Pankhurst said. Opportunities for partnerships Ross Taylor, the founder of the Perth-based Indonesia Institute, said Indonesia's goal for food self-sufficiency was often viewed the wrong way by Australians. "I think will be very pro-trade … and he's very interested in food and how Indonesia can develop self-sustainability and even become an exporter," Mr Taylor said.
