Pupuk Indonesia Ensures Ease Of Access For Farmers
JAKARTA - PT Pupuk Indonesia (Persero) ensures easy access for farmers to obtain fertilizer at affordable prices.
"We want to ensure that the needs of farmers for fertilizers can be met, both in terms of availability and affordable prices," said Senior Manager of Central Java and DIY PT Pupuk Indonesia Antonius Yudhi Kristyanto in Karanganyar Regency, Central Java, quoted from Antara, Sunday 17 November.
Therefore, in order to support farmers during the planting season, his party recently held a Rembuk Tani in Karanganyar Regency.
He said Rembuk Tani aims to ensure wider and affordable access to fertilizers, as well as encourage increased agricultural products through dialogue and special discount programs.
"This initiative is expected to help farmers achieve optimal harvest at an efficient cost," he said.
In the program, he said, farmers can enjoy various special discounts.
He said one of the main programs offered was a discount of IDR 50,000 for every purchase of subsidized fertilizers at official kiosks valid until December 20, 2024.
"Various subsidized fertilizers that can be redeemed by farmers in this program include Urea, NPK and organic fertilizers," he said.
He said the type of fertilizer had been designed to meet the needs of plants and was a subsidized fertilizer as stated in Permentan No. 1/2024.
According to government policy, he said, the process of redeeming subsidized fertilizer at the kiosk level is now much faster and easier.

"With the spirit of collaboration, Pupuk Indonesia is ready to assist farmers in every stage of the journey to national food independence. Rembuk Tani is not only an event but also a real commitment in building stronger food security for Indonesia's more prosperous and sustainable future," he said.
