Dozens of East Javanese people demonstrate in front of the East Java Governor\'s Office in Surabaya on Tuesday, Jan. 23, 2018. They expressed their opposition to the rice import policy when the harvest period was approaching as they considered it to be detrimental to farmers.

Several regions are entering bumper harvests. Farmers are anxious because prices of their unhusked rice are plummeting. The plan to import 1 million tons of rice affects the market psychology, thus putting pressure on farmers’ unhusked rice prices.

CIREBON, KOMPAS — Farmers in various regions are worried as buyers bid low prices for their unhusked rice. They request the government to review the 1-million-ton rice import plan because even before its realization, this plan has had a market psychological effect that lowers their unhusked rice prices.
