JAKARTA - The price of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) for self-help farmers in Riau Province has decreased again by 1.73 percent or IDR 57.83 per kilogram to IDR 3,293.89 for the next week.

Head of the Processing and Marketing Division of the Riau Province Plantation Service, Defris Hatmaja, said that the pricing had used a new price rental table which was the result of a study from the Medan Palm Oil Research Center (PPKS).

The table has been agreed upon by the entire price-fixing team.

"Dengan penetapan ini, Dinas Perkebunan Provinsi Riau berharap informasi harga yang akurat dan transparan dapat menjadi dasar acuan bagi petani dan pelaku industri sawit dalam melakukan transaksi penjualan hasil panen mereka," kata dia dilansir ANTARA, Rabu, 11 Juni.

Meanwhile, the selling price of crude palm oil (CPO) this week was recorded to have increased by IDR 179.40 per kilogram compared to last week.

On the other hand, the selling price of the kernel actually decreased quite sharply, amounting to Rp1,900.69 per kg.

Similar to self-help farmers, the price of FFB for plasma partners also fell.

The price in the 9 year old group fell by Rp. 115.30/Kg or reached 3.36 percent from the price last period.

That way the purchase price of FFB for plasma farmers for the next one week period will decrease to Rp3,311.98/Kg.

The decline in prices this week was due to a decrease in kernel prices.

In determining the price of FFB, the Riau Disbun and the FFB Purchase Purchase Team for Palm Oil Production, he said, always improve governance.

This is so that the pricing is in accordance with regulations and is fair for both partnering parties.

"Improving pricing governance is a serious effort from all stakeholders supported by the Riau Provincial Government and the Riau High Prosecutor's Office. This joint commitment will ultimately have an impact on increasing farmers' income which leads to the welfare of the community," he said.
