"The presence of this millennial farmer group is capital for Aceh to advance agriculture. The main aim of agriculture is to build food security, not only in Aceh, but also in Indonesia," he emphasized. 

Therefore, the Deputy Minister of Agriculture challenged millennial farmers to prove their presence with real action. Moreover, the government, both central and regional, supports the existence of these millennial farmers.

"Prove that the millennial farmer group was not only launched ceremonially, but also took action. Proof with action to achieve food security in Aceh and Indonesia," Qolbi said. 

Meanwhile, Acting Aceh Governor, Achmad Marzuki appreciated the presence of millennial farmers. These millennial farmers are the heirs of farmers in the western tip province.

Therefore, Marzuki challenged the emerging group of millennial farmers to provide concrete evidence and contribute to the development and progress of agriculture in Aceh.
