Rice is a perishable commodity that cannot be stored indefinitely without risk of quality degradation, regardless of how well it's preserved.
Given this situation, sending part of the surplus as humanitarian aid to Palestine represents a meaningful, strategic solution.
It not only helps distribute the excess stock but also supports those suffering from a prolonged humanitarian crisis.
Through coordinated efforts involving the Indonesian military (TNI), Bulog, and other relevant agencies, the government has shown a strong commitment to supporting the Palestinian people.
Now, all eyes are on the possibility of opening humanitarian corridors so that the 10,000 tons of rice can truly reach those in need.
The success of this mission depends heavily on international support and continued pressure on Israel to allow humanitarian access.
Only with open and secure channels can this aid bring the relief it is intended to provide.***
