In addition, continued Enggar, imported maize is only for industrial sector. Imported corn, firmly Enggar, is not intended for other sectors such as for animal feed.
"I have never issued a permit for corn imports for livestock feeds, which never existed, which is from the past until now the corn is not produced in Indonesia and from year to year for the needs of the industry.On the outside, not one corn we import, said the Minister of Trade.
