“…To suppress food commodity prices, the government has allocated large fertilizer subsidies for rice producers. Because rice accounts for a significant portion of overall food spending, high prices significantly impact poverty and food insecurity (19). However, Indonesian prices are still considered high by international standards.…”

Food is a complex global development issue as there are still people who are unable to meet their total physical and intellectual capacity due to micronutrient deficiencies caused by food insecurity. This study examined the implementation of President Joko Widodo’s policy to achieve the food security targets of SDG Goal Number 2 by the year 2030 through developing the agricultural sector and striving for food sovereignty and sustainability, particularly within the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. The authors used institutionalism theory with the top-down model approach. This involved discussing how government institutions and top-level government officials make policies to overcome existing problems, as well as stakeholder involvement in policies and program implementation. The data were obtained from the academic literature and through semi-structured interviews with stakeholders. Indonesia’s food sovereignty efforts included three development missions in formulating programs and policies: (1) self-sufficiency; (2) sustainability; and ( 3) farmers’ welfare. The Ministry of Agriculture did not stand alone in implementing each program and has sought to develop agriculture by collaborating with other domestic and international stakeholders. However, policy implementation and stakeholder involvement in realizing food sovereignty and sustainability in Indonesia still faced challenges in integrating the policy and programs to address the national concerns of food. Keywords: food sovereignty, Jokowi’s agricultural policy, Covid-19 pandemic, top- down institutional approach

“…Rice policy in Indonesia has been going through many changes and experiments since its independence in 1945 [3] . The Indonesian government, through numerous instruments, has been involved extensively in intervening in the survei rice market as a way to navigate economic and political dynamics over the years [4] . The Ministry of Agriculture, the central government agency responsible for food security through the Agricultural Research and Development Agency, has launched a policy to continue striving for food sovereignty by increasing rice production through the intensification of paddy fields.…”

The government has launched a policy to ensure the sovereign availability of national rice. One breakthrough is the rice cropping pattern with a cropping index (IP) of 400. It means rice fields are used for planting and harvesting four times a year. This cropping pattern can be made in several potential areas, including the Grompol Hilir Watershed, Masaran District, Sragen Regency. This study aims to (1) determine the pattern of rice planting- and (2) analyze the comparative income of rice farming. Respondents in this study were obtained by purposive sampling in four villages in the Grompol Hilir watershed area. In-depth interview was used to know the rice cropping pattern, and income analysis was used to see the farmer’s income. The results showed that 46 harvested rice 3 times and 14 farmers 4 times a year. The results also show that in one growing season, the average income of IP300 farmers is Rp14,148,195, where this value is higher than farmers who apply IP400, which is Rp9,036,693. Therefore, it can be concluded that IP400 can be implemented with more support from the government regarding facilities and infrastructure.

“…Rice supplying about 20% of the total calories requirement in these countries (Irshad et al, 2018). Globally, rice is a major food crop preferred by nearly half of the world's population (Patunru and Ilman, 2020). In Sub-Saharan Africa, Tanzania ranks second after Madagascar in terms of rice production and consumption (Kadigi et al, 2020).…”

The rice export industry in Tanzania is seemingly performing poorly despite the country being the leading rice producer amongst the East African Community (EAC) member states. The extensive government interventions which have occurred in the industry and the existence of inward-looking trade policies such as the Common External Tariff within EAC would have resulted in increased rice exports especially, through the intra-regional trade, however this has remained more of an oratorical rather than practical attainment the reasons for which are not known with certainty. This paper is an attempt to fill this knowledge gap. The paper investigates the determinants of rice exports in Tanzania. Specifically, it examines the influence of price and non-price factors on rice exports and assesses the competitiveness of Tanzanian rice in the EAC export market. The paper uses secondary data obtained from government institutions and other international data repositories. The Vector Error Correction Model is used to capture the dynamics of rice export in Tanzania and the competitiveness of rice exported is assessed using the Revealed Comparative Advantage Model. The results show that real exchange rates, international rice prices, quantity produced and the average GDP per capita of the main importers of Tanzania rice in EAC were the key determinants of rice export performance though the commodity was found to be less competitive within the EAC and neighboring countries such as Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique which also import rice from Tanzanian. To improve rice export performance and enhance competitiveness, the country should increase production to take advantage of existing demand for rice from EAC countries and other neighboring countries.
