Jakarta (B2B) - Menteri Pertanian Suswono mengatakan Indonesia telah mengimpor 3.000 ton daging sapi yang diperkirakan tiba di Jakarta, Rabu lusa (17/7).
"Kegiatan impor dilaksanakan oleh Badan Urusan Logistik (Bulog) yang akan tiba sebanyak 800 ton melalui Bandara Soekarno Hatta Jakarta dan 2.200 ton melalui Pelabuhan Tanjung Priok," kata Suswono di Jakarta, Senin (15/7).
Dia menyatakan harapannya bahwa kegiatan impor akan membantu menekan lonjakan harga daging sapi di pasar domestik.
Harga daging sapi telah melonjak dalam memasuki bulan puasa Ramadhan Islam.
Suswono meminta perusahaan penggemukan sapi tidak berspekulasi menunggu harga naik lebih tinggi sebelum menjual sapi mereka ke rumah pemotongan hewan (RPH).
Ia mengatakan, kenaikan harga daging sapi di pasar domestik tidak lagi proporsional dengan naiknya harga bahan bakar minyak bersubsidi.
Dia juga mencatat, harga telur dan ayam telah terjadi penurunan pada minggu pertama bulan puasa sejalan dengan komitmen produsen.
Jakarta (B2B) - Minister of Agriculture Suswono said the country is importing 3,000 tons of beef expected to arrive here on Wednesday.
The imports by the Board of Logistics will include 800 tons via Jakarta`s Soekarno Hatta airport and 2,200 tons via Tanjung Priok port, Suswono said here on Monday.
He said he hoped the imports would help press down the beef price on the domestic market.
The price of beef has soared in entering the Islamic fasting month of Ramadhan.
Suswono called on feed lotters not to speculate waiting for the price to rise higher before selling their their cows to the slaughterhouses.
He said the increase in the price of beef on the domestic market is no longer proportional with the recent rise in the price of subsidized oil fuels.
He noted, however, the prices of eggs and live chickens had been on the decline in the first week of the fasting month in line with the commitment of the producers.
