JAKARTA, Aug. 28 (Xinhua) -- Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto said on Thursday that the country's food production has increased despite the prolonged dry season and impacts of climate change.

"In a prolonged dry season, in climate change, when El Nino is followed by La Nina, we can increase production dramatically," he said at the inauguration of an expo in Tangerang, Banten province.

As of May this year, Indonesia's national rice reserve surpassed 4 million tons, the highest level recorded.
