Indramayu, Jabar (B2B) - Kementerian Pertanian RI memastikan pemerintah pusat telah menjamin harga fleksibilitas harga per kg untuk gabah kering panen (GKP) Rp4.440, gabah kering giling (GKG) Rp5.520 dan beras medium Rp8.770, untuk mengantisipasi kerugian petani akibat harga anjlok saat panen raya di Kabupaten Indramayu, Provinsi Jawa Barat maupun seluruh Indonesia.
Hal itu dikemukakan Penanggung Jawab (PenJab) Upsus Pajale Jabar, Banun Harpini dan Bupati Indramayu, Anna Sophiana saat panen padi dilanjutkan menanam serentak dan serap gabah petani (Sergap) di Kecamatan Trisi, Indramayu pada Rabu (7/3) yang dihadiri Danrem 063/SGJ, Kolonel Inf Sudijanto Sudin.
Banun Harpini mengatakan Kementan mengantisipasi anjloknya harga gabah saat panen raya dengan harga fleksibilitas per kg untuk GKP Rp4.400, GKG Rp5.520 dan beras medium Rp8.770, untuk menyikapi kekhawatiran Bupati Anna Sophiana tentang posisi tawar petani dengan gejolak harga di masa puncak panen raya.
"Jadi saat panen raya nanti tidak akan ada gabah yang harganya dibawah harga fleksibelitas" kata Banun Harpini yang juga menjabat Kepala Badan Karantina Pertanian (Barantan).
Dalam sambutannya, Bupati Anna Sophiana mengatakan Indramayu memiliki luas lahan 210.000 ha, 50% dimanfaatkan untuk sektor pertanian. Namun ada dua masalah yang masih dihadapi petani Indramayu, yaitu harga anjlok saat panen raya dan infrastruktur saluran irigasi primer, sekunder maupun tersier masih ada kerusakan.
Menanggapi hal itu, Banun Harpini mengatakan bahwa kementeriannya telah berkoordinasi dengan Kementerian Pekerjaan Umum dan Perumahan Rakyat (PUPR) yang berwenang menyelesaikan masalah irigasi primer dan sekunder, namun pihaknya akan mendorong program padat karya agar 41% irigasi tersier yang rusak dapat segera diatasi.
"Kita tinggal bersabar saja sekarang. Insya Allah 2019 selesai," katanya.
Bupati Anna Sophiana mengatakan luasan sawah yang dipanen seluas 150 ha, produktivitas 9,7 ton per ha, sementara konsumsi masyarakat Indramayu hanya 250.000 ton sehingga setiap tahun Indramayu surplus beras 1,2 juta ton per tahun.
