SURABAYA-President Joko Widodo's decision to ban the export of CPO and cooking oil on Thursday, April 28 has the support of the Chairman of the DPD RI AA LaNyalla Mahmud Mattalitti. However, according to LaNyalla, the policy is only shock therapy and is charitable (pleasing the people). However, it has not touched the fundamental issue.
"The president seems to have deliberately given shock therapy to all parties. Both businessmen, and their assistants who are related to this matter. But I'm sure it will reopen soon. Because the total amount of production cannot be absorbed domestically,” said LaNyalla during a recess in East Java, Saturday, April 23.
LaNyalla said that was not the move. According to him, the steps needed are related to the government's courage to change the direction of the national economic policy which has already submitted the livelihood of many people to the market mechanism.
"The most accurate move is with our awareness as a nation to make fundamental corrections to the direction of our national economic policy from the perspective of the welfare state, in accordance with the mandate of Article 33 paragraphs 1, 2 and 3. Not paragraph 4 of the Amendment," said La Nyalla in a press statement issued accepted by VOI.
According to LaNyalla, for all people's needs, especially those related to natural resources, the state must be present in five affirmatives. That is; policy, management, regulation, management and supervision. So it cannot be given to the private sector, let alone foreigners. Then the country receives export duties and royalties.
"Especially in oil palm plantations, the use of funds from export levies collected at BPDPKS (Palm Oil Palm Plantation Fund Management Agency) is determined by the Steering Committee, which leads the Coordinating Minister for the Economy, which involves four large palm oil entrepreneurs, especially related to the BioDiesel program," he added.
Of the trillions of funds collected, 80 percent was disbursed to around 10 large oil palm companies for subsidies for the BioDiesel program. The remaining 5 percent is for community palm oil rejuvenation.
