THE GOVERNMENT IS NEVER SERIOUS ABOUT IMPROVING AGRICULTURE
Bogor, Sunday
The government is assumed to be never serious about improving the Indonesian way of agriculture as can be seen on (dari) various policies on agriculture matters that always changes in every official turnover.
It is proposed by the chairman of Indonesia Farmers Associations, Ir. Siswono Yudohusodo, and The Rector of Instutute Pertanian Bogor (Bogor Institute of Agriculture) Prof Dr. Ir. Ahmad Anshori Matjik, M.Sc in Bogos as cited by (dikutip dari) Antara, Sunday (24/8)
So, in this country, it can be said that there is no agriculture policy that sides with the farmers. On every official turnover, the policies are changed by the new head of department, Siswano said when he become the speaker in a discussion entitled "charging in the vision of the 21st century agriculture high education" , in Darmaga IPB campus, last week.
This causes the agriculture industry in Indonesia to remain stagnant. Day by day, even the farmers welfare does not improve, instead they become poorer. The government prefers importing to subsiding internal interest, including agriculture, he said.
He named the import "an unwise(yang tidak bijak)" policy that made the farmers' destiny slip to the dept of poverty, and he also gave an example about the more residual food that attacked Indonesia.
As an example, now we are being attacked by chicken thighs from the US that they are unable to sell, they event become animal food. Instead, the government takes theim in and passes them on to us with a very cheap selling price. he said.
He said, the government should protect Indonesia agriculture such as Japan and Thai Government doing with their agricultural production. He gave an example that if Japan, rice price reached Rp. 50.000 per kg, but the rice that they sale for export is far cheaper, and it is clearly different from the Indonesian government.
