The Minister of Agriculture, Syahrul Yasin Limpo (SYL), urged more businesses to obtain a veterinary control number certificate (NKV) as proof of hygiene and sanitation to ensure animal-derived food safety. We don't allow animal infections from anywhere; hence, the NKV is crucial. "So all business units must have this certificate to guarantee the health of the animals consumed," said the Minister of Agriculture SYL at the World Food Safety Day Summit in Jakarta's Ministry of Agriculture Head Office Auditorium on Thursday. The Minister of Agriculture, SYL, said World Food Safety Day should be celebrated as a collective effort to protect Indonesian food from other body hazards."This means that food control must really be supported by all parties, including the regional government," he stated. He said Indonesia had managed to control several diseases, including foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) and other viruses that spread over the country. Animal illnesses caused by viruses and bacteria are attacking the world. "Thank God, our collaboration with various parties has worked and controlled PKM," he stated. Nasrullah, the Ministry of Agriculture's Director General of Livestock and Animal Health, stated that animal diseases have been widely monitored and checked from upstream to downstream. We hope food safety will help us comprehend healthy and safe food.
