PT Pupuk Indonesia guarantees subsidized fertilizer stocks for rice farmers are far more than sufficient for the needs of the first planting season at the end of 2023. Therefore, farmers are asked not to worry.
"The subsidized fertilizer stock has doubled the target. So the fertilizer is ready. All fertilizer is in the kiosks," said President Director of Pupuk Indonesia Rahmad Pribadi at the Kujang Fertilizer Complex, Karawang, West Java, Saturday, November 11.
Based on the latest data on Pupuk Indonesia, the national amount of subsidized fertilizer is 1,387,943 tons as of November 10, 2023, or the equivalent of 286 percent of the minimum provisions set by the Government.
The details of the stock consist of urea fertilizers of 956,314 tons and NPK of 431,629 tons in the warehouse line I to line III.
Rahmad said, this amount is double what the government requires for the company for the planting season at the end of this year.
Furthermore, Rahmad revealed that the large stock of subsidized fertilizers was also caused by the delay in the rice planting season due to extreme dryness. Where farmers should have started planting preparations in October, but withdrew this November.
"Because there is a decline in the planting season, the amount of fertilizer becomes abundant," he said.
