Pemprov Papua Minta TPID Perketat Pemantauan Harga Pangan Jelang Nataru

Langkah ini dilakukan untuk menjaga stabilitas harga sekaligus memastikan kebutuhan pokok masyarakat tetap terpenuhi menjelang hari besar keagamaan nasional (HBKN).

Kepala Biro Perekonomian dan Administrasi Pembangunan Setda Provinsi Papua, Andry, mengatakan pemantauan secara berkala perlu ditingkatkan menyusul perubahan harga sejumlah komoditas pangan pada Oktober 2026. Komoditas yang perlu mendapat perhatian antara lain cabai merah, cabai rawit, dan daging ayam ras.

“Berdasarkan data TPID Provinsi Papua hingga minggu ketiga Oktober 2026, Indeks Perkembangan Harga (IPH) Papua tercatat sebesar 2,40. Angka ini lebih rendah dibandingkan minggu pertama Oktober sebesar 2,64 dan minggu kedua sebesar 2,50,” kata Andry.

Andry menyebut Kabupaten Biak Numfor dan Kabupaten Keerom sebagai daerah yang perlu mendapat perhatian dalam upaya pengendalian harga.

Pada minggu ketiga Oktober 2026, IPH Kabupaten Biak Numfor tercatat sebesar 8,38. Perubahan harga di daerah tersebut terutama dipengaruhi cabai merah, cabai rawit, dan daging ayam ras.

Sementara itu, IPH Kabupaten Keerom tercatat sebesar 2,60. Kenaikan harga cabai merah, cabai rawit, dan telur ayam ras menjadi komoditas utama yang memengaruhi perkembangan harga di wilayah tersebut.

Menurut Andry, TPID kabupaten/kota perlu melakukan pemantauan secara konsisten, tidak hanya terhadap harga di pasar, tetapi juga terhadap kecukupan pasokan dan kelancaran distribusi bahan pangan.

Koordinasi antarpemangku kepentingan juga diperlukan agar potensi gangguan pasokan dapat diantisipasi lebih awal. Dengan demikian, kebutuhan masyarakat menjelang Natal dan Tahun Baru dapat terpenuhi dan tekanan harga dapat dikendalikan.

Pemprov Papua berharap penguatan koordinasi dan pemantauan di seluruh kabupaten/kota dapat mendukung stabilitas harga pangan serta menjaga daya beli masyarakat menjelang akhir tahun. ***

The move aims to maintain price stability and ensure that people’s basic needs are met during the holiday season.

Andry, Head of the Economic Affairs and Development Administration Bureau at the Papua Provincial Secretariat, said regular monitoring needed to be intensified following changes in the prices of several food commodities in October 2026. Commodities requiring particular attention include red chilies,  cayenne pepper, and broiler chicken meat.

“According to data from the Papua Provincial Regional Inflation Control Teams through the third week of October 2026, Papua’s Price Development Index stood at 2.40. This was lower than the figures recorded in the first and second weeks of October, at 2.64 and 2.50, respectively,” Andry said.

Andry identified Biak Numfor and Keerom regencies as areas requiring particular attention in efforts to control prices.

In the third week of October 2026, the Price Development Index of Biak Numfor Regency stood at 8.38. Price movements in the regency were primarily driven by red chilies, cayenne pepper, and broiler chicken meat.

Meanwhile, Keerom Regency recorded a Price Development Index of 2.60. Rising prices of red chilies, cayenne pepper, and chicken eggs were the main drivers of price movements in the area.

According to Andry, the regency teams need to consistently monitor market prices, ensure adequate food supplies, and keep distribution running smoothly.

Coordination among stakeholders is also needed to identify potential supply disruptions early. These efforts will help ensure that people’s needs are met ahead of Christmas and New Year while keeping price pressures under control.

The Papua Provincial Government hopes that stronger coordination and monitoring across all regencies and municipalities will help maintain food price stability and protect people’s purchasing power as the year draws to a close. ***
