00:00 RI Ombudsman and the National Food Board have different opinions on the effectiveness of the highest ECA price or HET rice to stabilize the commodity.
00:11 The HET rice policy is proven to not be able to reduce the price of rice that continues to soar.
00:19 Ombudsman member Eka Hendra Fatika suggested that Mr. Nas withdraw the HET rice for a while and replace it with HET Gabah at the round table.
00:29 However, the head of the NAS, Arief Prasetyo Adi, has a different opinion.
00:34 He evaluates the price of rice because of the lack of rice production and the need for a stock strengthening managed by the government.
00:41 In that condition, rice is needed more as a benchmark for price control.
00:47 Without a price benchmark, the government will have difficulty knowing when they must intervene in the price of rice.
00:56 The intervention is intended to increase rice production, rice stock strengthening, and market operations.
01:21 The head of the Indonesian Trade Union Central Board of Trade, Reinaldi Sarijowan, seems to have the same opinion as Ombudsman.
01:28 He says that HET rice has never functioned on the ground.
01:33 Because sellers and buyers in the market, especially traditional markets, are more dependent on the condition of the availability of goods in their transactions.
01:44 HET rice has never been a benchmark in traditional markets. Therefore, HET rice will not be effective in preventing the price of rice from rocketing in the market.
01:52 According to Reinaldi, the most effective way to control the price of rice in the market is by flooding the market with government rice.
01:59 If the rice supply is abundant, then the price of rice will be automatically controlled.
02:05 The Ministry of Food and Agriculture, in its opinion, which is mentioned in the Tempo newspaper in Rabu yesterday, said that the increase in the price of rice is a consequence of the increase in the price of rice.
02:15 The increase in the price of rice will automatically push the price increase.
02:19 According to him, HET rice will be easier to be controlled if the price of rice does not have the potential to jump.
02:26 But, the constant increase in the price of rice, like the implementation of HET rice, is not fair to farmers.
02:33 The cost of farming is not cheap and often does not stay.
02:36 According to Hudhory, HET rice is still needed. However, HET rice cannot be the only mechanism for rice production.
02:45 like a brass.
