Palembang, Sumsel (B2B) - Produsen pupuk, PT Pupuk Sriwijaya (Pusri) diingatkan untuk meningkatkan kualitas produksinya, khususnya jenis urea yang kualitasnya masih rendah, dan Pusri diharapkan dapat mendukung pemenuhan target penyediaan pupuk bersubsidi untuk 2018 hingga 9,55 juta ton, sementara manajemen Pusri menegaskan komitmennya untuk menjaga kualitas produksinya untuk mendukung peningkatan produksi pangan strategis.
Hal itu dikemukakan oleh Ketua Komisi IV DPR Edhy Prabowo, Anggota Komisi IV DPR Fauzih Amro, dan Direktur Komersial Pusri, Romli HM pada kunjungan reses komisi pangan dan lingkungan DPR RI di gudang Pusri di Jl Raya Tanjung Api-api, Kabupaten Banyuasin, Sabtu siang (28/4) sekitar 20 km dari kota Palembang.
Turut hadir Dirjen Prasarana dan Sarana Pertanian (PSP) Kementerian Pertanian RI, Pending Dadih Permana yang menyertai rombongan Komisi IV DPR dari Jakarta dan tiba Sabtu pagi di Bandara Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Palembang.
Edhy Prabowo, politisi Gerindra menegaskan kunjungan reses ke gudang Pusri bertujuan mengetahui kesiapan dan kemampuan Pusri memenuhi kebutuhan alokasi pupuk bersubsidi 2018.
"Kami sebagai wakil rakyat tidak ingin hanya sekadar laporan tapi melihat langsung kondisinya seperti gudang Pusri hari ini," kata Edhy dari daerah pemilihan Sumsel.
Fauzih Amro menilai Pusri masih belum memperhatikan kualitas produknya, karena masih banyak ditemukan pupuk bersubsidi dalam kondisi karung sobek atau rusak, bahkan kerap ditemui timbangannya kurang dari bobot pupuk yang tertera di kemasan.
"Kami minta Pusri memperhatikan hal itu, kalau kuantitas berkurang tentu akan mempengaruhi kualitas tanaman pangan khususnya padi yang diproduksi petani," kata Fauzih dari Dapil Banyuasin.
Romli sebagai direktur Pusri menyanggah tudingan tersebut, lantaran hal itu kerap terjadi pada kualitas kemasan, dan gudang Pusri segera mengganti dengan yang baru.
"Keluar dari gudang Pusri jalannya panjang dan berjenjang untuk sampai ke pengecer, kemungkinan kerusakan akibat proses bongkar, tapi kami selalu sortir, kalo rusak diganti dengan yang baru," kata Romli.
Menurutnya, tudingan tersebut tergolong kasuistis karena secara umum kondisi kemasan berikut isinya dalam kondisi baik hingga sampai ke konsumen.
