Many people believe that farming is their future success. I live in a city which of course is very difficult to get land for farming, I use pots to grow some vegetables, chilies, and others, the more difficult the agricultural land, of course, makes the price of agricultural commodities more expensive so that a country that still has a lot of agricultural land will become a country that prosperous.

There are not many agricultural countries in the world, but the farmers are not prosperous because the selling price and price of fertilizer are set by the government. Indeed, the possibility of losses for entrepreneurs or business actors in the agricultural sector is very small, but this does not allow them to become prosperous.
Moreover, currently the price of fertilizer is increasing and the uncertain climate means that crop yields are no longer guaranteed due to global influences.
They do play an important role in the continuity of human life, almost all of us need farmers to produce vegetables for consumption, but I see the future of agriculture and its actors tending to be stable without any increase.
Yes, it's true, there aren't many agricultural countries, but what is worrying is that many of those who live in agricultural countries still work as farmers, not much attention is being given to the younger generation, even though during this pandemic the sector is very influential, it's just a shame that the government is only looking at This sector is one-sided, there is no significant stimulus from the government in the agricultural sector, fertilizer prices are expensive, and the government does not want to buy the harvest (hold), making it difficult for many farmers to market their harvest. if there are buyers, they buy at prices so low that they don't cover expenses.

Because state leaders do not side with farmers, they cannot control prices and seeds/fertilizers and medicines are handed over to the market so prices are not in favor of farmers. The government should guarantee the facilities provided to farmers and control everything, that way farmers will feel that agriculture has a good future.
