Central Java farmers say no to rice imports
Semarang, NU OnlineThe Central Java Association of Indonesian Farmers (HKTI) firmly rejected the government`s rice imports which are scheduled to arrive in Indonesia this month, because the plan would pose a threat to the life of the farmers. "The rice growers have only recently enjoyed their grand harvest. The price of rice is good, which benefits the growers. Imported rice would only harm the interest of the farmers," HKTI chairman Gatot Aji Sutopo said here on Friday.
