In commemoration of World Food Day last October, the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) stated that the Covid-19 Pandemic has revealed that the global food and agricultural system is still fragile and triggered a world economic recession. According to The Economist Intelligence Unit, Indonesia is ranked 62 out of 113 countries in the Global Food Security Index. Therefore, the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry views the importance of synergy efforts among stakeholders to formulate the best steps in order to accelerate economic recovery, improve the welfare of farmers, ranchers, fishermen and processing industries also achieve national food security and nutrition with sustainable principles including through the development of a food estate.

No one is immune to a food crisis. The world, which experienced a food crisis in 2008, is now again faced with the threat of a further food crisis. The Covid-19 pandemic disrupted the flow of world food trade. This is the time to side with farmers, ranchers and fishermen, which in turn will solve the food and nutrition crisis, prosper farmers, ranchers, fishermen, and promote the processing industry and create a more equitable economy, including through the development of a food estate.

Agriculture and food are the keys to promoting national economic recovery. However, this potential needs to be supported by efforts to recover domestic consumption which was also suppressed by the pandemic. This is where a number of strategic steps and policies are needed, such as providing incentives to maximize market power, boost people's purchasing power, increase competitiveness, food consumption and domestic food production.

In the midst of efforts to recover the national economy, one of the sectors that can be relied on to maintain economic, social and political stability is the food and fisheries sector. In fact, the agricultural business sector experienced high growth while other sectors were weakening in the second quarter of 2020. When the overall value of Indonesia's exports declined, the export performance of the agricultural and fisheries sectors actually showed a positive trend. However, the Covid-19 pandemic has hampered the export-import trade between countries due to policies to restrict human traffic. It is expected that these obstacles can be overcome with the Travel Corridor Arrangement (TCA) policy or also known as a Reciprocal Green Lane (RGL).

The Covid-19 pandemic proves that the agricultural sector is still the foundation for national economic recovery. The presence of the Job Creation Law is expected to open investment taps to improve food security, land use, food estate development, post-harvest handling technology facilities, and the application of information and communication technology (ICT) in the agribusiness industry.
