Subsidi Pupuk: Kebijakan, Pelaksanaan, dan Optimalisasi Pemanfaatannya

Abstract

Fertilizer is one of the important inputs in crop productivity; thus, its existence and utilization are considered crucial. One of the policies in the fertilizer provision is subsidy. It has long been applied with some policies such as fertilizer provision, distribution, and control. Fertilizer subsidy policy is not optimally implemented and necessary improvement is needed, such as: (i) fertilizer allocated for farmers is expanded from one year to two years, (ii) the last point of distribution is the farmers group (line V), (iii) determination of retail kiosk in accordance with the rules, and (iv) allocation of sufficient funds as well as establishment of permanent officers for PPNS (Civil Servant Investigator) and KP3 (Commission on Fertilizer Distribution Supervisor)
