Drought measures: Widodo reviews pump installation in South Sulawesi
Jakarta (ANTARA) –
President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) on Thursday reviewed the installation of 360 pumps in Sinjai district, South Sulawesi, as a preparatory measure to maintain agricultural productivity ahead of a prolonged dry season.
“There are 360 pumps being installed in the field. We hope that they will be able to support the productivity of farmers before the long periods of drought and heatwave of this dry season,” he informed on the sidelines of his working visit on Thursday.
He said the pumping program in South Sulawesi will continue during the rainy season as preparation for a long dry season.
“We are installing it now while it is still raining a lot. Everything is fine, this is our preparation,” he added.
According to Widodo, the heat observed in various regions of the world has triggered a drought, leading to a drop in food productivity in local countries.
“All countries are experiencing drought and a decline in rice productivity. We do not want that. This pumping is our effort (to anticipate drought),” he added.
According to him, the agricultural land pumping program is not only implemented in South Sulawesi, but also in rice fields in Central Java, West Java, East Java, Lampung and other agricultural production areas.
Widodo had earlier asked the Agriculture Ministry to allocate 70,000 pumps to support rice irrigation and agricultural activities to alleviate the drought expected from July to October 2024 in Indonesia.
The President confirmed that the Ministry of Agriculture will work to meet the overall pump needs to ensure that all production areas are covered.
Earlier, Agriculture Minister Andi Amran Sulaiman also urged regional governments to act quickly to preempt the global food crisis.
Sulaiman said regional governments must ensure the implementation of the pumping programme. Regional agriculture offices have also been asked to ensure water availability and report any need for pumping to help the programme run smoothly.
