Jakarta (B2B) - Badan Penelitian dan Pengembangan Pertanian, Kementerian Pertanian (Balitbang Kementan) menyatakan kacang kedelai Indonesia mampu bersaing dengan kedelai dari Amerika Serikat (AS). Pasalnya. kandungan nutrisi lebih banyak, biji kedelai lebih besar dan masa tanam yang pendek.
"Bersaing dengan kedelai Amerika Serikat bukanlah hal yang sulit, karena kedelai kita memang nutrisinya lebih banyak. Selain itu, biji kedelainya juga lebih besar dan masa tanamnya pendek," kata Kepala Balitbang Kementan, Dr Haryono ketika sosialisasi Kalender Tanam Terpadu Musim Tanam (Katam Terpadu MT-2/2013) kepada pers di kantornya di Jakarta, Kamis (14/2).
Berdasarkan keunggulan tersebut, Haryono meyakini, kedelai lokal mampu bersaing dengan produk impor. Saat ini, Balitbang Kementan telah mengembangkan 73 varietas unggulan kedelai di antaranya varietas Grobogan, Gema, Detam, Argopuro dan Raja Basa.
"Khususnya kacang kedelai Grobogan yang saat ini dikembangkan di Aceh, khususnya kandungan nutrisi, jauh lebih bagus dibanding impor," ungkap Haryono.
Kalender Tanam 2013
Berdasarkan Kalender Tanam Terpadu Musim Tanam (Katam Terpadu MT-2/2013), Haryono menyatakan, estimasi luas tanam kedelai di Sumatera mencapai 38.329 hektar, Jawa diawali di areal seluas 104 hektar, Sulawesi 9.075 hektar, Maluku 278 hektar, Papua 905 hektar, atau total 48.691 hektar di seluruh Indonesia.
"Hal baru dalam Katam Terpadu ver 1.4 untuk Musim Tanam II 2013, estimasi luas tanam alternatif untuk jagung/kedelai mencapai 2,68 juta hektar secara nasional. Sementara, estimasi luas tanam kedelai secara nasional sekitar 0,05 juta hektar. Keduanya berdasarkan kondisi perkiraan jumlah curah hujan.
