Jakarta (B2B) - Pertumbuhan Produk Domestik Bruto (PDB) sektor pertanian sampai triwulan tiga 2013 mencapai 3,27% atau lebih rendah dari target 3,90%.
"Tahun 2013 pembangunan pertanian menghadapi banyak tantangan strategik seperti alih fungsi lahan pertanian, keterbatasan lahan untuk perluasan areal baru, belum memadainya infrastruktur khususnya jaringan irigasi dan sarana transportasi pertanian," kata Menteri Pertanian Suswono ketika memaparkan Pangan dan Pertanian Indonesia: Refleksi 2013 dan Prospek 2014 di Jakarta, Senin (30/12).
Begitu pula dengan investasi melalui penanaman modal dalam negeri (PMDN) maupun penanaman modal asing (PMA) hingga triwulan tiga 2013 relatif masih jauh dari target 2013 bahkan lebih rendah dibandingkan realisasi PMA dan PMDN 2012.
PMA sektor pertanian pada 2013, menurut Suswono, senilai US$1 miliar atau 9% dari target sebesar US$10,1 miliar, sedangkan untuk PMDN Rp4,02 triliun atau 1,55% dari target Rp259,4 triliun tahun ini. Sementara penyerapan tenaga kerja sektor pertanian hingga Agustus 2013 mencapai 38,07 juta orang.
