Distribution of Subsidized Fertilizers in Merauke Runs according to Rules

Signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPJB) between the distributor and the official kiosk of subsidized fertilizer PT. Pupuk Kaltim and PT Petrokimia Gresik of Merauke Regency in 2020 have been carried out.
.
PT Petrokimia Gresik Papua Province Sales Representative Staff (SPDP) Deni Eka Lesmana said, the SPJB stressed discipline in the field of subsidies refers to the rules of the Ministry of Agriculture.
.
Among other things, the distribution must be according to the highest retail price (HET) and only for farmers who have a definitive plan for group needs (RDKK).
.
"In addition to the signing of the SPJB, at the same time there is coaching for retailers. Hopefully, when the stalls do the distribution while maintaining discipline," explained Deni at the Ermasu Merauke Hotel, Saturday (1/2/2020).
.
He continued, so far the distribution of fertilizers in the Merauke region is still going according to the rules. Even Merauke became a barometer of the distribution of subsidized fertilizer distribution for Eastern Indonesia.
.
It's just that the needs and allocations given from the center are still not appropriate. In 2020, from each type of fertilizer there are additions and decreases which will certainly have an impact on the needs of farmers.
.
To anticipate a shortage at the farm level, producers continue to provide non-subsidized fertilizers to kiosks that are scattered in the districts of Merauke's agricultural centers. "Anticipating shortages, we still prepare non-subsidized fertilizers in 52 kiosks spread across all districts," Deni added.
.
Compared to the 2019 fertilizer allocation, fertilizer allocation in 2020 has increased in addition to 1,044 tons of Urea Fertilizer. While Sp-36 fertilizer decreased by 1,013 tons, Za increased by 300 tons, NPk decreased by 603 tons, and Organic Fertilizer increased by 1,124 tons.
