Agribusiness Competitiveness Strengthening Strategy to Reduce Imports and Increase Food Exports by Involving Local Farmers in Indonesia to Achieve the Vision and Mission of The National Economy In 5.0

Abstract

Food security is a fundamental human right for every individual, as it is one of the most fundamental human needs. Furthermore, ensuring food security for all is a moral, social, and legal obligation. Ensuring food security is also an effort to develop better human resources for national development, as well as a prerequisite for fulfilling other basic rights such as education, employment, and so on. Exports and imports play a crucial role in international trade, significantly influencing the global economy. The impact of exports and imports on countries varies, with various factors underlying the dynamics of international trade. Exports and imports are indeed crucial components of a country's economic framework, influencing various aspects of economic growth and development. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach. Qualitative descriptive research, in which the formulation of the problem guides the research, explores or captures the social situation to be studied comprehensively, broadly, and in-depth. The results of this study suggest that the Indonesian government needs to implement adaptive export-import policies integrated with other strategies, such as strengthening national food reserves and export promotion. To realize Advanced, Independent and Modern Agriculture, Smart Farming has been developed which changes the pattern of agricultural resource management from conventional to more productive and efficient, through an automated control and monitoring system utilizing Internet of Things (IoT) technology.
