SANGGAU, Kalimantan Barat menjadi kabupaten keempat setelah Pandeglang (Banten), Semarang (Jawa Tengah), Cirebon (Jawa Barat) dalam satu pekan ini yang disambangi Kepala Badan SDM Pertanian, Momon Rusmono siang ini, Jumat (22/12) untuk memastikan produksi padi mencukupi kebutuhan pangan masyarakat, sehingga stok beras cukup dan harga pangan stabil.
Momon Rusmono melakukan panen padi Desember 2017 di Desa Bungkang, Kecamatan Sekayam bersama Kepala Dinas Pertanian, Perikanan, dan Peternakan Kabupaten Sanggau, John Henri, dan dihadiri para pejabat terkait dan puluhan penyuluh pertanian.
John Henri mengatakan penanaman padi pada September 2017 menghasilkan panen Desember seluas 15.000 hektar dengan produktivitas 3 ton per hektar, sehingga diperoleh hasil 45.000 ton gabah kering panen (GKP) setara 22.500 ton beras.
“Kebutuhan di daerah kami hanya 4.400 ton per bulan. Artinya kebutuhan beras tercukupi malah kelebihan produksi atau surplus hampir 18.000 ton beras” kata John Henri kepada pers saat mendampingi Kepala Badan Penyuluhan dan Pengembangan SDM Pertanian (BPPSDMP) Momon Rusmono.
Momon Rusmono mengelaborasi luas tanam padi Sanggau merupakan bagian dari total luas tanam di seluruh Indonesia (nasional) pada Juli sampai September 2017 yang mencapai 1,1 juta hektar per bulan.
"Hal itu berarti naik dua kali lipat dari tahun-tahun sebelum digelarnya program Upsus Pajale, yang hanya mampu mencapai 500 ribu per hektar," kata Momon yg juga menjabat Penanggung Jawab Upsus Pajale (padi, jagung, dan kedelai).
Sementara total panen padi Desember 2017 seluas 1,1 juta hektar dengan realisasi produksi 6 juta ton GKG atau 3 juta ton beras. "Produksi ini mampu memenuhi kebutuhan konsumsi beras nasional 2,6 juta ton atau surplus 0,4 juta ton.
Menurut Momon, terjaminnya produksi padi Kabupaten Sanggau lantaran koordinasi dan sinergi pemerintah pusat di Jakarta dan daierah untuk terus menjamin dan meningkatkan produksi padi. Misalnya, untuk mengantisipasi dampak paceklik, pemerintah telah menyalurkan bantuan cukup banyak ke petani, seperti pompa air, traktor, benih berkualitas, rehabilitasi jaringan irigasi tersier, embung dan lainnya.
“Pendampingan dan terjun ke lapangan pun masif dilakukan untuk memantau perkembangan tanaman, jadi proses produksi berjalan lancar,” katanya.
Terkait hal ini, petani Desa Bungkang, Mustofa mengungkapkan bantuan pemerintah benar-benar membantunya. Bantuan berupa mesin pompa air, benih unggul dan traktor telah membuat tanaman padi berhasil dipanen dengan hasil rata-rata tiga ton per hektar.
“Dulu ketika musim paceklik seperti ini, produktivitasnya kurang dari dua ton per hektar. Terima kasih pada program pemerintah saat ini, hasil panen padi lebih baik," kata Abdullah yang juga anggota kelompok tani setempat.
Peningkatan luas tanam musim kering Juli - September naik dua kali lipat merupakan solusi permanen dari dampak Program Upsus Menteri Pertanian Andi Amran Sulaiman setelah merampungkan rehabilitasi jaringan irigasi tersier 3,4 juta hektar atau 113%, pembangunan 2.278 unit embung/dam parit/long storage, perluasan dan optimasi lahan 1,08 juta hektar, pengembangan lahan rawa 367.000 hektar, mekanisasi didukung alat mesin pertanian (Alsintan) rice transplanter dan combine harvester sebanyak 284.436 unit atau naik 2.175% dari 2014. Kemudian, bantuan benih 12,1 juta hektar, pupuk bersubsidi 27,64 juta ton dan asuransi usahatani padi 1,2 juta hektar.
