## Exercise 11

### Question

export const metadata = {
  title: "Problem 11",
  authors: [{ name: "Nabil Akbarazzima Fatih" }],
  date: "12/30/2025",
};

The realization of domestic rice procurement by Perum Bulog continues to decline from <InlineMath math="2.96\text{ million}" /> tons in <InlineMath math="2016" /> to <InlineMath math="2.16\text{ million}" /> tons in <InlineMath math="2017" />, and <InlineMath math="1.44\text{ million}" /> tons last year. Apart from the Government Purchase Price (HPP) increasingly lagging behind market prices, the sluggish procurement is also considered to be contributed by the reduction in rice distribution channels following the change in the food assistance distribution mechanism for Raskin/Rastra to direct transfers. As a result, until the end of April <InlineMath math="2019" />, procurement realization was only <InlineMath math="321{,}123" /> tons or <InlineMath math="1.78\text{ percent}" /> of this year's target. In fact, the *rendeng* season harvest is relied upon as the main source of rice procurement this year. If procurement is not optimal, the Government Rice Reserve (CBP) threatens to be insufficient, especially during the upcoming lean season. This means that government rice stocks threaten to be insufficient if rice procurement continues to decline.

Based on the passage, what is the rice procurement target for <InlineMath math="2019" />?


### Choices

- [ ] $$11$$ million tons
- [x] $$18$$ million tons
- [ ] $$25$$ million tons
- [ ] $$30$$ million tons
- [ ] Cannot be determined

### Answer & Explanation

export const metadata = {

  authors: [{ name: "Nabil Akbarazzima Fatih" }],
  date: "12/30/2025",
};

Based on the paragraph, until the end of April <InlineMath math="2019" />, procurement realization was only <InlineMath math="321{,}123" /> tons or <InlineMath math="1.78\text{ percent}" /> of this year's target. We can calculate the procurement target (<InlineMath math="x" />) as follows:

<MathContainer>
  <BlockMath math="\begin{align*} \text{Realization} &= 1.78\% \times \text{Target} \\ 321{,}123 &= \frac{1.78}{100} \times x \\ x &= \frac{100}{1.78} \times 321{,}123 \\ x &\approx 18{,}040{,}618 \text{ tons} \end{align*}" />
</MathContainer>

The calculated result is approximately <InlineMath math="18\text{ million}" /> tons.

Therefore, the rice procurement target for <InlineMath math="2019" /> is **<InlineMath math="18" /> million tons**.
