Self-sufficiency in food can be achieved within four years if the government implements the right strategies.
One of them is by encouraging farmer regeneration. The presence of young farmers is expected to boost production growth and bring forth new innovations.
The Minister of Agriculture, Andi Amran Sulaiman, has devised a program for millennial farmers, offering them a minimum salary of 10 million rupiah. It’s a promising career, right?
High Income from Harvest Yields
According to Minister Andi Amran Sulaiman, this income projection is based on the anticipated harvest yields.
This figure is not set in stone; if the harvest surpasses the target, millennial farmers could earn even higher incomes.
With job opportunities currently scarce, shifting to the agricultural sector could be a viable option for the younger generation.
Young Farmers Will Get Knowledge and Advanced Farming Technology
This millennial farmer program collaborates with university presidents to enhance the applicants’ skills.
They will acquire agricultural knowledge, making them more adept at managing land and implementing modern farming systems.
In addition to knowledge, millennial farmers will also be equipped with various technologies to support the farming process.
A Great Opportunity for Young People
Besides supporting the goal of food self-sufficiency, the millennial farmer program could be a great opportunity for young people.
As jobs become harder to find and urban life becomes increasingly challenging, farming could be a suitable profession for those looking to live a slower-paced life.
It’s worth noting that food is a basic necessity for every human on Earth. Therefore, the sectors of farming, agriculture, and livestock will never die out.
So, are you one of those interested in joining this program?
