A rice vendor waits for customers in a local market in Makassar, Indonesia's South Sulawesi province, April 24, 2008. Indonesia can meet domestic demand for rice this year, avoiding the risk of social unrest, thanks to a bumper rice harvest, curbs on rice exports, and subsidies for the poor, Trade Minister Mari Pangestu said on Thursday.
