<![CDATA[Government gave its support to a price policy with a gabah floor price that was expected to stimulate rice pro-duction. But, during the great harvest 2000, the gabah price fell below the floor price in many paddy production centre. The resultof this research concluded that the gabah floor price is too low. Above all, the goveinment was not pick-aback and implementing the floor price policy seriously. Its prove that cheap food policy, the policy which consumer oriented, is continuing. If this "position" not to be changed, it is potentially provoke the paddy farmer not to produce rice more. Then, the food security can be worst at the next time. Because of the serious implication would be happen, the author recommend to push-up, as an adjust-ment, the level of gabah floor price, and then it must be guarranteed (by the government) as an urgen agenda.]]>
