Rice
As El Niño bites, Indonesians are currently grappling with record-high rice prices. The dry weather associated with El Niño has significantly impacted Indonesian rice supplies, leading to unprecedented price rises for consumers and crop failures for farmers.
This challenging situation has put immense pressure on the local economy and food security in Indonesia. The government and relevant authorities are working tirelessly to address the issue and provide support to those affected by the soaring rice prices and crop losses caused by El Niño.
