Malang (B2B) - Wakil Menteri Pertanian Rusman Heriawan mengatakan rencana kenaikan harga BBM bersubsidi akan berdampak pada sektor pertanian, khususnya sarana mekanik pertanian yang digunakan untuk produksi.
"Selama ini akses petani untuk mendapatkan BBM harus melalui kepolisian, kelurahan atau SPBU. Perlu dipikirkan jangan setiap petani butuh BBM harus melalui mekanisme seperti minta surat pengantar kepada kepolisian," kata Rusman Heriawan setelah membuka Batu Fair dan Krida Pertanian 2013 di kota Batu, Malang, Jawa Timur, Kamis (13/6).
Rusman mengajak semua pihak, khususnya dinas pertanian daerah melakukan koordinasi dengan pemerintah setempat dan kepolisian untuk memudahkan akses petani mendapatkan BBM.
Menurutnya, dampak kenaikan BBM akan berdampak ke berbagai bidang termasuk pertanian. Tetapi yang penting bagi petani dan nelayan adalah bukan hanya persoalan mahalnya BBM, tetapi juga akses untuk mendapatkan BBM itu.
Malang (B2B) - The Vice Minister Agriculture Rusman Heriawan said the planned increase in subsidized fuel prices will have an impact on the agricultural sector, particularly the mechanical facilities used for agricultural production.
"During these farmers access to get fuel to go through the police, village office, or retail outlets. Need to think not every farmer needs fuel to go through such mechanisms have a letter of introductory to the police," said Rusman Heriawan after opened city Fair and Minister Activities of 2013 in the Batu city , Malang, East Java, on Thursday (13/6).
Rusman invites all parties, particularly the local agricultural agencies to coordinate with local authorities and the police to facilitate the access of farmers to get fuel.
According to him, the impact of the fuel price hike will have an impact to various fields including agriculture. But it is important for farmers and fishermen is not just a question of the high cost of fuel, but also access to the fuel.
