Gibran Says Indonesia Is Targeted to Become Sugar Self-Sufficient in 2027
Jakarta, IDN Times - Jakarta, IDN Times - Deputy President (Wapres) Gibran Rakabuming visited sugarcane harvesting and modern agricultural technology at the Food Security Area of Lanud Adisutjipto, Sendangtirto, Berbah, Sleman, Yogyakarta Special Region Province, Tuesday (7/8/2025). This activity is part of the event "Rembuk Tani Bersama Wapres Towards National Sugar Self-Sufficiency"
In his speech at the event, Gibran mentioned that President of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto, instructed that Indonesia become a sugar self-sufficient country in 2027.
"From the President, direct instructions have been given to the Minister, next year we must achieve self-sufficiency in sugar consumption. Also by 2027, at the latest 2028, we must truly achieve self-sufficiency in sugar," he said.
"This has become a joint challenge. We request the cooperation of all Bapak-Ibu," continued Gibran.
Gibran once again appreciated the TNI AU for providing productive land for the development of sugarcane plantations. He considered the synergy between sectors between the central and regional governments very important.
1. Gibran emphasizes the importance of adopting modern technology
In his speech, Gibran called for the achievement of food self-sufficiency by 2027. He emphasized the importance of adopting modern technology in the agricultural sector. A concrete effort is the use of digital-based mechanization, including the use of drones for fertilizing and spraying crops.
"So for increasing production, of course we cannot be separated from the use of modern machinery. So there will be this, yes, Mr. Director (PT Pupuk Indonesia), a drone demonstration, which I think is very good," he said.
2. Need to involve the youth
Furthermore, Gibran invited the technological transformation of agriculture to involve the younger generation. He emphasized the need for the active role of young people in the modern technology-based agricultural system.
The eldest son of the 7th President of Indonesia, Joko Widodo, highlighted the importance of research and innovation in the development and processing of sugarcane. Gibran encouraged utilizing academic potential in DIY to develop superior varieties and by-products of sugarcane such as ethanol.
"I also entrust this to the Minister, to involve more young people because we are using modern drone equipment. I also request that more young people be involved," he said.
"Then, because there are many academics and smart people here in Yogyakarta, they are certainly involved in R&D (research and development) for seeds and also for the future issues of sugarcane processing related to ethanol," continued Gibran.
Gibran once emphasized the importance of renewing sugarcane plants as a strategic step to increase productivity and national yield.
"I entrust Minister Pak for the issue of replanting. I think the President has already given direct instructions that this replanting issue must be immediately improved," he emphasized.
3. According to Prabowo's instructions
Gibran then emphasized that this activity aligns with Prabowo's direction, which has set the agriculture sector as one of the national development priorities. According to him, sugar self-sufficiency is part of strengthening the food security program.
"We, as assistants to the President, want to ensure that the President's vision programs can run well. One of them (the sector) is agriculture, food self-sufficiency," he said.
Gibran revealed that Prabowo has given direct instructions to the ministers so that Indonesia can meet the sugar consumption needs independently starting next year.
After delivering his speech, Gibran visited the agricultural technology booths of PT Pupuk Indonesia, watched demonstrations of drone usage, and had a direct dialogue with farmers.
Among those present at the event were Siti Hediati Soeharto, Chairperson of the IVth Commission of the DPR RI, Danang Wicaksana, Member of the Vth Commission of the DPR RI, Minister of Agriculture Andi Amran Sulaiman, Chief of Staff of the TNI General Agus Subiyanto, Deputy Governor of DIY KGPAA Paku Alam X, and Deputy Minister of BUMN Aminuddin Ma'ruf.
