Jakarta (B2B) - Kementerian Pertanian RI dan Pemprov DKI Jakarta memastikan pasokan dan harga pangan pokok aman terkendali menjelang hari besar keagamaan nasional (HBKN) pada Ramadan dan Idul Fitri 2018.
Hal itu tertuang dalam memoranda kesepahaman (MoU) yang diteken oleh Menteri Pertanian RI Andi Amran Sulaiman dan Wakil Gubernur DKI Jakarta Sandiaga Uno di Jakarta, Rabu (29/3) yang disaksikan oleh Sekjen Kementan Syukur Iwantoro dan Kepala Badan Ketahanan Pangan (BKP) Agung Hendriadi.
Kesepakatan MoU yang diteken, kata Mentan, mencakup komitmen bersama untuk mengamankan pasokan komoditas pangan pokok khususnya beras, daging ayam, bawang merah, telur, aneka cabai dan minyak goreng.
"Tujuannya agar konsumen dapat menikmati harga pangan terjangkau lebih awal, sehingga dampaknya tetap akan menguntungkan di tingkat petani," kata Mentan Amran Sulaiman.
Wagub Sandiaga Uno menyatakan akan mengerahkan sejumlah jajaran, termasuk BUMD DKI seperti PD Pasar Jaya hingga Food Station Tjipinang Jaya untuk mengawal kestabilan harga dan pasokan pangan.
"Kami tidak ingin memberi sedikit celah yang berpotensi membuat harga bergejolak dan cenderung naik saat Ramadhan dan Idul Fitri," kata Sandi.
