Kementerian Pertanian menargetkan dukungan Badan Urusan Logistik (Bulog) untuk menyerap hasil panen gabah petani minimal 279.000 dari surplus produksi 1,6 juta ton.
Target tersebut dikemukakan Agung Hendriadi, Kepala Badan Ketahanan Pangan di Kementerian Pertanian RI (BKP Kementan) dan Kepala Dinas Pertanian dan Ketahanan Pangan Jawa Timur, Hadi Sulistiyo kepada Kepala Divre Bulog Jawa Timur, Muhammad Hasyim pada rapat koordinasi serapan gabah petani (Rakor Sergap) Jawa Timur, Selasa (22/1) di Surabaya, yang juga dihadiri oleh perwakilan petani dan Kepala Pusat Distribusi dan Cadangan Pangan BKP Kementan, Risfaheri.
"Jawa Timur merupakan andalan sentra produksi padi menjadi sasaran Kementan dalam pencapaian serapan gabah. Potensi produksi setara beras untuk Januari hingga Maret 2019 diperkirakan 2,3 juta ton. Kalau dikurangi kebutuhan konsumsi masih surplus 1,6 juta ton," kata Agung H.
Kepala BKP Kementan sesuai arahan Menteri Pertanian RI Andi Amran Sulaiman dan diketahui oleh Dirut Bulog, Budi Waseso, maka Bulog Divre Jatim ditarget menyerap 279.000 ton beras petani.
Hadi Sulistiyo menambahkan bahwa harga di tingkat produsen, petani maksudnya, saat ini menunjukkan tren menurun karena memasuki panen sub round-1 .
"Harga gabah kering panen atau GKP kemarin sekitar Rp5.033 per kg, namun harga di sentra-sentra produksi padi terus turun. Momentum harga gabah turun ini harus segera diantisipasi agar target Sergap tercapai," kata Hadi S.
Muhammad Hasyim menyatakan kesanggupannya untuk mengerahkan seluruh potensi di Bulog Divre Jatim untuk membeli gabah dari petani dengan harga yang disepakati.
"Bulog sudah siap. Kami sudah instruksikan ke semua subdivre di Jatim untuk membeli gabah dari petani sehingga target Sergap tercapai," katanya.
Mendengar pernyataan Hadi Sulistiyo dan Muhammad Hasyim, Agung H tampak sumringah dan menyatakan optimismenya bahwa pencapaian target Sergap Jatim akan berjalan kondusif, apalagi didukung para pemangku kepentingan khususnya dari Danrem dan Dandim di Kodam V Brawijaya yang melakukan pendampingan dan pengawalan program Sergap di Jatim.
"Di sini ada perwakilan petani atau Perpadi, dan yang terpenting jaminan pendampingan dan pengawalan petani oleh Babinsa, Dandim hingga Danrem juga hadir di sini. Siap satu komando melaksanakan tugas mulia ini," kata Agung H.
Agung H menguraikan tujuh strategi Sergap yang dilakukan Kementan dan Bulog bersama pemerintah daerah dan pihak-pihak terkait: Pertama, meningkatkan integritas pelaksana. Kedua, peningkatan customer service melalui sistem jemput bola; pemetaan informasi panen, dan gudang Bulog akan buka meski hari libur. Ketiga mempermudah kerjasama PO dengan petani. Keempat, peningkatan kesiapan anggaran pembelian gabah/beras. Kelima, pembentukan Satker Divre/Sub-Divre. Keenam, penambahan gudang operasional di lebih seribu unit. Ketujuh, penyiapan lebih dari 60 unit pengolahan gabah/beras.
