“At the UN General Assembly on 23 September 2025, Prabowo said: "This year we recorded the highest rice production and wheat reserves in our history. We are now self-sufficient in rice."”

Claimed by Prabowo Subianto, President · official statement

The facts

BPS data back the rice part: production reached 21.76 million tonnes in January to July 2025, 2.83 million tonnes more than a year earlier, and there were no rice imports through September 2025 after 4.52 million tonnes in 2024. Kompas found no valid data for a record wheat reserve; Indonesia does not grow wheat and imported 728,020 tonnes of wheat and meslin in early 2025 alone.

What is circulating

“An Antara news report says Prabowo proposed that the UN hold a referendum in Aceh and Papua.”

Claimed by Social media users · social media

The facts

The fake report reused an Antara photo of Prabowo meeting UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres at the G20 in Brazil on 17 November 2024, where they discussed peacekeeping, and a 2019 UN video of Guterres speaking about mental health. Neither source mentions a referendum.
