Indonesia's Soaring Food Prices: Can Export Bans Ease Food Inflation? | Insight

Earlier this year in April, Indonesia banned the export of palm oil, joining more than 20 countries that have banned the export of various food products. Although the ban was short-lived, it caused vegetable oil prices to spike worldwide.
While the ban succeeded in bringing down the price of palm oil in Indonesia, palm farmers in the world’s largest producer bore the brunt of the ban, as the price of raw fruits plunged.
At the same time, wheat bans elsewhere led to the rising price of grains in Indonesia.
Will food export bans become more common as countries seek price stability amidst inflation pressures? And does food protectionism really improve food security?

Be it Indonesia or India or any other country, the government's first duty is towards their citizens. Obviously in a climate of immense global crisis there will be such responses from the governments.

Bi lateral trade agreements are a thing. Because no country produces every product or every food. They have to import a lot of things. And if you stop exporting, the countries you import from won't let you import their things. You have to ensure that you maintain that agreement otherwise you will face bigger insecurities in the future.

Revelation 6:6 says: `I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures say: “A quart of wheat for a denarius and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the olive oil and the wine.” A denarius was one day’s wages back when these words were written.

CNA ini emg nyinyirin indonesia mulu, kyk waktu pandemi trus indonesia pake sinovac.

In the philippines price hike is not really an issue. We can immediately absorb the trend. Maybe because most of us are working abroad and we send dollars back home. Cooking oil prices goes to from 1.5 dollars to 2 dollars. In indonesia cooking oil still cheaper.

really 😂😂 Indonesia people work abroad more than 3 million but Indonesia have more than 278 million people living in this country you imagine but I know some Philippines workers like Singapore hongkong Malaysia they know how expensive price food in Philippines that way even sugar salt and cream coffee noodles send to families in Philippines and Indonesia workers deference no need send they all things cos in Indonesia more chipper price 2 US DOLAR IN INDONESIA 29000 and regular that oil in Indonesia price just only 9500 to 11500 before that way wee all complain to government cos Indonesia is bigger products of plam oil

It’s never easy to balance the domestic & export needs what more during the difficult inflation times now. When domestic prices rise dramatically coupled with shortages, that can lead to social unrest. A couple of years ago when Indonesia raised fuel prices, this was met with massive protests only for the Government to revoke this increase. Self sufficiency is key to a nation’s survival.

There were great famines in Europe and United States too, and they did not have communes. Read The Grape of Wrath. I don’t think communes are the answer, but what has it got to do with the Great Leap Forward? Both are separate policies. China population doubled in first ten years of communism.
