**Mentorship for Self-Sufficiency**
Menteri Pertanian Andi Amran Sulaiman recently announced the presence of researchers from the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) who will strengthen the BRMP’s support for food self-sufficiency. This collaboration aims to improve the country’s ability to produce its own food, reducing reliance on imports.
The Ministry of Agriculture has been working closely with BRIN to develop innovative solutions for agriculture and food processing. With the involvement of BRIN researchers, the Ministry expects to enhance the quality and quantity of domestic food production. This partnership will also facilitate the development of new technologies and innovations in the agricultural sector.
According to Andi Amran Sulaiman, the collaboration between the Ministry and BRIN is crucial for achieving the goal of food self-sufficiency. “We need to think outside the box and explore innovative solutions to overcome the challenges facing our agricultural sector,” he said. The Minister emphasized that the partnership will not only benefit the country’s food security but also contribute to the overall economic growth.
The researchers from BRIN will work closely with experts from the Ministry of Agriculture, universities, and other research institutions to develop new technologies and innovations in agriculture. This collaboration is expected to have a positive impact on the agricultural sector, including improving crop yields, reducing waste, and increasing farmers’ incomes.
Furthermore, the partnership between the Ministry and BRIN will also facilitate knowledge sharing and capacity building for farmers and other stakeholders involved in the agricultural sector. This will enable them to adopt new technologies and innovations, thereby enhancing their competitiveness in the market.
In addition, the collaboration is expected to attract foreign investment and create job opportunities in the agricultural sector. As Andi Amran Sulaiman noted, “This partnership has the potential to transform our agricultural sector and contribute significantly to the country’s economic growth.”
