Perbandingan harga tersebut terkuak dari hasil survei yang dilakukan oleh tim khusus pemantau harga komoditas dari Kementerian Pertanian RI yang melakukan pemantauan di Vietnam, Thailand, India, dan Korea Selatan dan Jepang, dan hasil survei diumumkan oleh Sekjen Kementan, Hari Priyono melalui pernyataan tertulis pada Rabu (25/1).

Hasil survei di Thailand mendapati harga tertinggi Rp10.837/kg, harga terendah Rp10.585/kg, dengan harga rata-rata beras mencapai Rp10.711/kg.
"Sementara di India, harga beras tertinggi adalah Rp11.125 per kg, harga terendah Rp11.056 per kg atau dirata-rata harganya Rp11.091 per kg," kata Hari Priyono.
Harga rata-rata beras di Korea Selatan mencapai Rp35.832/kg dan di Jepang Rp48.779/kg, "dengan demikian tidak benar jika harga beras di Indonesia adalah yang termahal."
Menurutnya, dari hasil survei dapat terlihat bahwa harga beras di Indonesia masih lebih murah ketimbang dua negara ASEAN dan India apalagi dengan Korsel dan Jepang.
"Apabila harga beras di Indonesia mencapai Rp12 ribu per kg maka dapat dianggap wajar, karena ada margin pengangkutan dan perdagangan disingkat MPP yang mencapai 50 hingga 60 persen akibat banyaknya middleman. Ini jauh di atas angka yang dilansir BPS terkait MPP komoditas antara 10 hingga 30 persen," katanya.
