Alluding To Central Java Farmer's Card, Ganjar Serang Prabowo: You Once Became A HKTI Chairman
Presidential Candidate number 1, Prabowo Subianto, alluded to the certificate of Central Java Farmers Card which was initiated by presidential candidate number 3, Ganjar Pranowo. According to Prabowo, fertilizer is still difficult for farmers to obtain even though there is a card.
"The farmers and fishermen and what I got in the traveling phase, especially in Central Java, were very difficult to get fertilizer and they complained that the Tani Card that you launched made it difficult for them to get fertilizer, so actually they wanted the fertilizer to be simplified. I think maybe you can answer that problem, thank you," Prabowo said in the inaugural debate for the 2024 presidential election at the KPU Building, Central Jakarta, Tuesday, December 12.
Ganjar, who was the former governor of Central Java for two terms, responded by mentioning that the scarcity of fertilizer actually occurred throughout the country.
"But for Prabowo, I have to remind you, sir, rare fertilizers occur in Papua, sir, rare fertilizers occur in North Sumatra, sir, rare fertilizers occur in NTT, East Kalimantan, including gasoline.
Ganjar then reminded related to the situation considering that Prabowo understood very well the problems and actions he had to take because he had sat in the chair of the Chairman of the Indonesian Farmers Harmony Association (HKTI).
"Maybe you forgot a little bit, for me you can remind me because you were the chairman of the HKTI, sir," said Ganjar.
Gnajar then provides a solution to the problems of farmers in Indonesia who are experiencing difficulties in getting fertilizer. One of them is by not restricting the distribution of fertilizers to farmers.
"Our farmers' data has never been resolved, so if we can manage the farmer data, then the distribution of fertilizer must be able to arrive, and the target place at the same time the fertilizer quota should not be limited," explained Ganjar.
