Jakarta (B2B) - Sistem dan kinerja industri perbenihan terus dibenahi agar mampu meningkatkan kontribusi terhadap pembangunan tanaman pangan. Namun aspek pengawasan belum seperti yang diharapkan lantaran jumlah pengawas benih baru tersedia 1.041 orang dengan wilayah kerja sekitar 7 ribu kecamatan.
"Artinya, seorang pengawas benih harus mengawasi 7 wilayah kecamatan padahal yang ideal adalah satu banding satu," kata Direktur Jenderal Tanaman Pangan, Ir Udhoro Kasih Unggoro dalam dialog interaktif tentang perbenihan yang disiarkan TVRI belum lama ini.
Dalam dialog interaktif tersebut hadir Direktur Produksi PT Sang Hyang Sri, Dr Nizwar Syafa´at dan Kepala Divisi Produksi PT Pertani, Ir Edy Kuswandi.
Menurut Udhoro, selama ini kontribusi benih unggul dan bermutu terhadap keberhasilan peningkatan produksi pangan diperkirakan mencapai 25% atau di urutan kedua dalam sistem produksi tanaman.
"Dengan makin baiknya sistem dan industrinya, kinerja produksi pun akan lebih mantap guna memenuhi kebutuhan di dalam negeri. Di sisi lain, penggunaan benih bermutu tinggi di kalangan petani akan semakin meluas untuk mempercepat peningkatan produksi pangan nasional khususnya padi," kata Dirjen Tanaman Pangan.
Dia mengingatkan, industri benih memang cukup kompleks karena yang dikelola adalah benda hidup. Proses dan mata rantai yang harus dilalui cukup panjang dan rumit, dimulai dari tingkat petani, penangkar, pengolahan, pengemasan hingga distribusi ke tingkat petani.
