NTP April 2023 Naik 0,21 Persen

JAYAPURA - Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) Papua mencatat Nilai Tukar Petani (NTP) April 2023 sebesar 100,62 mengalami kenaikan 0,21 persen dibandingkan bulan sebelumnya. Kenaikan NTP sedikit banyak dipicu oleh peningkatan Indeks Konsumsi Rumah tangga (IKRT) sebesar 0,16 persen.

Menurut Kepala BPS Papua Adriana Helena Carolina, kenaikan NTP April 2023 dipicu oleh naiknya IKRT yang turut terdampak oleh meningkatnya indeks harga pada kelompok pengeluaran rumah tangga.

Hal pula sejalan dengan IKRT nasional bulan April 2023 tercatat mengalami peningkatan, yaitu sebesar 0,14 persen.

"NTP ini kan diperoleh dari perbandingan indeks harga diterima petani (It) terhadap indeks harga dibayar petani (Ib) dimana dalam persentasenya, merupakan salah satu indikator untuk melihat kemampuan atau daya beli petani di perdesaan."

“NTP juga menunjukkan daya tukar (term of trade) dari produk pertanian dengan barang dan jasa yang dikonsumsi maupun untuk biaya produksi. Semakin tinggi NTP, secara relatif, semakin kuat pula tingkat daya beli petani," terang Adriana di Jayapura, Rabu.

Dia tambahkan, berdasarkan pemantauan harga pedesaan di Papua oleh pihaknya, terlihat perubahan indeks NTP disebabkan pula akibat indeks It naik sebesar 0,42 persen, lebih cepat dibandingkan dengan peningkatan indeks Ib sebesar 0,20 persen.

"Perubahan angka indeks yang terjadi sebagai berikut, subsektor tanaman pangan naik 0,36 persen, subsektor hortikultura turun 0,42 persen, subsektor tanaman perkebunan rakyat turun 0,08 persen, subsektor Peternakan naik 0,54 persen, dan sub sektor perikanan turun 0,68 persen," tandasnya. ***

JAYAPURA - The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) Papua recorded that the April 2023 Farmer Exchange Rate (NTP) of 100.62 increased by 0.21 percent compared to the previous month. It was triggered by an increase in the Household Consumption Index (IKRT) by 0.16 percent.

According to the Head of BPS Papua Adriana Helena Carolina, the increase of the Farmer Exchange Rate in April 2023 was triggered by the increase in IKRT which was also affected by the increase in the price index in the household expenditure group.

In line with the national IKRT in April 2023, it was recorded to have increased by 0.14 percent.

"Farmer Exchange Rate is obtained from the comparison of the farmer received price index against the farmer paid price index which in its percentage is one indicator to see the ability or purchasing power of farmers in rural areas."

"Farmer Exchange Rate also shows the exchange power (term of trade) of agricultural products with goods and services consumed as well as for production costs. The higher the Farmer Exchange Rate, relatively speaking, the stronger the level of purchasing power of farmers," explained Adriana in Jayapura, Wednesday.

She added, based on monitoring rural prices in Papua by her party, it was also seen that the change in the Farmer Exchange Rate index was also caused by the received price index rising by 0.42 percent, faster than the increase in the paid price index by 0.20 percent.

"Changes in the index figures that occurred were as follows, the food crop subsector rose 0.36 percent, the horticulture subsector fell 0.42 percent, the community plantation crop subsector fell 0.08 percent, the Livestock subsector rose 0.54 percent, and the fisheries sub-sector fell 0.68 percent," she said. ***
