Although using a land contract system, PT Food Station also provides assistance to Gapoktan Sumber Makmur, especially in assisting with variety selection and post-harvest assistance.

“PT Food Station as Buyer providing price guarantees, cutting the chain of buying unhulled rice from farmers so that farmers can remain prosperous and this collaboration can be used by farmers to secure funding, ”Pamrihadi said.

With this illustration of food stocks, Food Station is convinced that food prices will be relatively stable. Maybe later the one that will be quite high will be garlic, as it depends on the import allowance provided by the government.

“If the import allowance is given too late, of course there will be unrest,” Pamrihadi said.
