However, he said, the production should also be supported by access to capital,

good marketing, and good postharvest technology.

"Farmers will really feel the product is profitable so they are encouraged to
produce continuously," said Jokowi in the office of DPP PKPI, Jalan
Diponegoro, Menteng, Central Jakarta, Thursday (22/5).

In addition, continued Jokowi, poverty can also be reduced by opening new jobs.
According to the presidential candidate paired with the JK, new jobs can be
created if the economy moves evenly from west to east of Indonesia.

To achieve that, Jokowi assess, there needs to be strengthening marine

infrastructure, namely by making 'sea toll' or deap sea port for large ships
every day can distribute goods to small islands.

"If the economy grows from Sabang to Merauke, there will be even distribution of
'sea toll' in the framework of equity," he said.

One vision-mission Jokowi-JK listed in Nawa Cita is to realize economic

independence by moving the strategic sectors of the domestic economy. The
concrete program is to open one million new agricultural land outside Java and
build a bank for farmers and small business actors.

Still in Nawa Cita, Jokowi also has a program to build 10 airports and 10 new
ports, build 10 industrial areas equipped with housing for laborers, and build 5
thousand traditional markets.
