The Ministry of Agriculture has marked a new milestone as the national Farmers' Exchange Rate (NTP) reached a record high of 125.35 by the end of 2025. This significant increase demonstrates that the welfare level of Indonesian farmers is in a very strong position compared to previous years. The surge in this index was driven by the rising production prices received by farmers, particularly for strategic plantation commodities. This success serves as a positive signal for the strengthening of the rural economy and provides a solid foundation for the growth of the national food sector in 2026.

For stakeholders and association members, this NTP achievement is the result of various targeted government assistance programs in the upstream sector. Increased land productivity and production cost efficiency through the modernization of agricultural machinery were key factors behind these record-breaking figures. The government is committed to maintaining this growth momentum to ensure that farmers' purchasing power remains stable despite the challenges of global market price fluctuations. With this positive trend, the agricultural sector is expected to remain the primary engine in achieving food security and national economic sovereignty in a sustainable manner.
