Kepala Dinas Pertanian Kabupaten Bandung, Tisna Umaran mengatakan tiga gabungan kelompok petani (Gapoktan) di wilayah kerjanya tengah bergembira lantaran hasil panen padi Desember 2017 tetap maksimal meski di tengah ancaman masa paceklik.
"Produksi padi Kabupaten Bandung melimpah seperti halnya kabupaten lain di Jawa Barat, sehingga persediaan beras mencukupi untuk memenuhi kebutuhan konsumsi masyarakat. Pasokan beras saat ini cukup, dan sekaligus menjaga stabilitas harga," kata Tisna Umaran dalam laporannya kepada Banun Harpini, Ketua Tim Penanggung Jawab Upsus Pajele Kementan untuk Jawa Barat.
