JAYAPURA - Kepala Dinas Tanaman Pangan dan Holtikultura Papua Samuel Siriwa mengatakan penyebab penurunan Nilai Tikar Petani (NTP) pada Juni 2024, akibat harga sarana produksi yang diterima petani mulai naik.
Hal demikian perlu segera dilakukan pengendalian bersama.
“Makanya kita berharap agar sarana produksi atau toko-toko agar tidak menaikkan harga sesukanya namun harus sesuai dengan ketentuan,” terang Siriwa di Kota Jayapura, Selasa.
Meski begitu, Siriwa meminta petani setempat agar kreatif dan inovatif dalam mengembangkan komoditas pertanian. Tujuannya untuk meningkatkan nilai produksi pangan di Papua.
“Intinya adalah penurunan NTP pada Juni 2024 ini sebagai momentum para petani sudah harus mulai berinovasi dan kreatif guna meningkatkan produktivitas,” kata dia.
Sebelumnya, Kepala BPS Provinsi Papua Adriana H. Carolina mengatakan NTP Papua Juni 2024 tercatat mengalami penurunan sebesar 0,002 persen dibandingkan NTP Mei 2024.
Hal ini berdasarkan pemantauan harga perdesaan setempat yang mana disebabkan karena indeks harga yang diterima petani (It) naik sebesar 0,473 persen, lebih lambat dibandingkan indeks harga yang dibayar petani (Ib) yang meningkat sebesar 0,475 persen.
“Satu dari lima subsektor pertanian mengalami peningkatan yaitu subsektor Hortikultura,” tandasnya. ***
JAYAPURA - Head of the Papua Food Crops and Horticulture Office, Samuel Siriwa, said the cause of the decline in the Farmer Exchange Rate (NTP) in June 2024 was due to the price of production facilities received by farmers starting to rise.
It needs to be controlled immediately.
"That's why we hope that production facilities or shops will not increase prices at will but must be by the provisions," explained Siriwa in Jayapura City, on Tuesday.
Siriwa asked local farmers to be creative and innovative in developing agricultural commodities. The goal is to increase the value of food production in Papua.
"The point is that the decrease of Farmer Exchange Rate in June 2024 is a momentum for farmers to start innovating and being creative to increase productivity," he said.
Previously, the Head of BPS Papua Province, Adriana H. Carolina, said that the Farmer Exchange Rate in Papua was recorded to have decreased by 0.002 percent in June 2024 compared to the Farmer Exchange Rate in May 2024.
This is based on local rural price monitoring which is due to the price index received by farmers increasing by 0.473 percent, slower than the price index paid by farmers which increased by 0.475 percent.
"One of the five agricultural subsectors has increased, namely the Horticulture subsector," he said. ***
