Semarang, Jateng (B2B) - Kementerian Pertanian RI memperkirakan hingga Desember 2018 terdapat 88 ribu hektar lahan jagung yang sudah mulai dan akan panen pada enam kabupaten di Provinsi Jawa Tengah yakni Grobogan, Blora, Klaten, Wonosobo, Jepara dan Kendal.
"Panen jagung masih ditemui pada Oktober hingga Desember 2018, namun volumenya lebih rendah daripada bulan-bulan sebelumnya, karena hanya wilayah-wilayah tertentu yang dapat menanam jagung di musim kemarau," kata Kepala Balai Pengkajian Teknologi Pertanian (BPTP) Jateng, Harwanto pada Senin (15/10).
Menurutnya, puncak panen jagung di Jateng umumnya pada Januari yang merupakan hasil tanam pada Oktober. Jagung biasanya ditanam di lahan tadah hujan dan lahan kering karena tersedia cukup air.
Secara keseluruhan perkiraan luas panen jagung di Jateng pada 2018 mencapai 590.285 ha pada 29 kabupaten, namun waktu tanamnya berbeda, karena menyesuaikan kondisi iklim, tipe lahan dan sosiokultur masyarakat setempat.
"Karena itu, hampir setiap bulan ada panen jagung di Jateng yang volumenya fluktuatif," kata Harwanto.
Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) menyatakan produksi jagung nasional pada tahun 2017 mencapai 28,9 juta ton, dan 12,3% dipasok dari Jateng.
Tidak semua sentra produksi jagung di Jateng menanam di musim hujan atau sebaliknya. Tiga kabupaten yakni Wonogiri, Grobogan dan Blora lebih memilih menanam pada musim hujan dan hanya sebagian di musim kemarau. Sementara Klaten dan Jepara lebih banyak ditanam saat kemarau ketimbang musim hujan. Kabupaten Wonosobo, walaupun bukan sentra utama namun relatif konstan sepanjang tahun tersedia jagung.
