Member of Commission IV DPR RI Endro Hermono regretted that the government had decided to refocus the agricultural budget. Even so, Endro was quite understandable because it was a decision from the center that inevitably had to be implemented for the sake of greater benefits.
“It’s just that what we direct and recommend in this meeting is the total allocation of derivatives. The Gerindra faction suggests choosing those that really benefit the people,” said Endro in a hearing of Commission IV DPR RI with echelon I ranks of the Ministry of Agriculture explore refocusing and reallocation of expenditure for the Ministry of Agriculture for the 2021 TA at the DPR RI Building, Senayan, Jakarya, Wednesday (3/2/2021).
This East Java VI electoral politician suggested that the results of this refocusing of the budget could actually ease the burden on the people who were being choked by the Covid-19 pandemic, and that could help alleviate the country’s huge burden.
“For example, at the Ministry of Agriculture’s Director General of Plantation, one of the efforts to help ease the burden on this country is by exporting. The exports we rely on are plantation products. However, here there is a refocusing of considerable value on plantation products. therefore we ask that this matter be reviewed, “he said.
Regarding the sugar issue, Endro stated, the problem of the sugar industry is not with the factory but with the problem of sugarcane fields. “The planting of sugar cane is also reduced, so we ask for this to be reviewed,” said Endro.
“For the problem of meeting the domestic demand for meat, we are still experiencing shortages. But this has actually been pruning. With the previous conditions we could not catch up with the shortage of meat, but instead there was pruning,” he said. (dep / es)
