BBM Naik, Pedagang Diimbau Tak Asal Naikan Harga Bapok

JAYAPURA - Tren kenaikan tarif angkut kontainer, dipastikan hampir pasti terjadi sebagai imbas atas melambungnya harga bahan bakar minyak (BBM) dalam negeri.

Kenaikan tarif angkut kontainer juga sedikit banyak berpengaruh terhadap harga jual bahan pokok (Bappk) yang dipasok dari luar Papua.

Kepala Dinas Perindustrian dan Perdagangan (Disperindag) Papua, Laduani Ladamay memperkirakan kenaikan tarif angkut kontainer yang berpotensi terjadi dalam waktu dekat, bakal ikut melambungkan harga bapok.

“Meski begitu, dari pengataman kami untuk saat inu belum ada kenaikan harga bahan pokok secara signifikan”.

“Sehingga kita mengimbau pedagang tidak asal menaikan harga semaunya melampaui harga yang sudah ditetapkan oleh pemerintah,” terang dia Laduani di Jayapura, Jumat.

Meski demikian, Laduani menyebut harga telur terlihat sedikit mengalami kenaikan harga Bapok setelah naiknya BBM. 

Sementara harga bahan pokok lainnya masih stabil sebagaimana hasil pantauan yang dilakukan di pasar pasar tradisional.

“Kita sudah imbau dalam kondisi kenaikan BBM saat ini diharapkan tidak ada kenaikan barang yang lain, masalah kenaikan harga telur karena terjadi kenaikan harga pakan ternak yang begitu tinggi,” kata Ladamay.

Terkait program bantalan sosial akibat naiknya BBM, lanjut dia, Disperindag Papua sedang menyiapkan sebuah langkah pendanaan. Adanya perubahan harga didorong dengan dana bantuan tak terduga.

“Namun kami belum koordinasikan dengan Pak Sekda sebagai Ketua Panitia anggaran. Artinya bila terjadi kenaikan harga di pasar, kami akan melakukan operasi pasar,” pungkas ia. ***

JAYAPURA - The trend of increasing container transportation cost is certain to almost certainly occur as a result of rising domestic fuel prices.

The increase in container transportation rates also affects the selling price of staples supplied from outside Papua.

The Head of the Industry and Trade Department of Papua, Laduani Ladamay, estimates that the increase in container transportation tariffs, which has the potential to occur in the near future, will also increase staple food prices.

"Even so, from our observations for the time being, there has been no significant increase in the price of staples food".

"So we urge traders not to just increase the price at will beyond the price set by the government," he explained in Jayapura, Friday.

However, Laduani said that the price of eggs seems to have increased slightly from the price of staple food after the increase in fuel.

Meanwhile, the price of other staples is still stable as a result of monitoring carried out in the traditional market.

"We have urged that in the current condition of fuel increase, it is hoped that there will be no increase in other goods, the problem of increasing egg prices because there is such a high increase in animal feed prices," said Ladamay.

Regarding the assistance program due to the increase in fuel, he continued, the Industry and Trade Department of Papua is preparing a funding step. Price changes were driven by unexpected funds.

"However, we have not coordinated with the Regional Secretary as the Chairman of the budget committee. This means that if there is a price increase in the market, we will carry out market operations," he concluded. ***
