Food crisis threatens East Nusa Tenggara The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Tue, 11/16/2010 12:23 PM | Archipelago As many as 1,481 villages in East Nusa Tenggara are in short of food supply caused by harvest failure, an official says. East Nusa Tenggara food security agency Niko Nuhan said Tuesday the crop failure was an impact of El Nino that has been hitting since the planting season in 2009. Pest attack and floods also contributed to the food crisis, he added. The local government is helping by allocating funds from the provincial budget and giving 100 tons of rice to every regency in East Nusa Tenggara. Niko also said that the central government had also provided 2,859 tons of rice to the affected villages.
