total trade Indoneia to the 21-member Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation organization reached 139.8 billion U.S. dollars .

 Vice Minister of Commerce , said the Indonesian Krisnamurthi very interested in the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation ( APEC ) , because the total trade to the organization's 21 member countries reached 139.8 billion U.S. dollars .

" Approximately 70 percent of Indonesia 's total exports to APEC member countries . From nearly 140 billion U.S. dollars , non-oil amounted to 103 billion U.S. dollars , " said Bayu at the Trade Ministry , Jakarta , on Friday ( 28/9 / 2013) .

He said the non-oil commodities are quite prominent as crude palm oil and rubber industries each have export value of 5.5 billion U.S. dollars .

"If we look at the structure of exports , so far dominated by energy . Most of the natural gas is worth 15 billion dollars , and 11.5 billion U.S. dollars oil , coal and U.S. $ 7 billion , the third biggest , comes from oil and gas , " Bayu said .

He also said that APEC is a forum which is quite important for Indonesia , although trade with APEC nations in 2012 had a deficit of 7 billion U.S. dollars .

To that end , Indonesia would continue to engage in and promote cooperation with APEC member countries . In this way the government can target the trade balance recorded a minimum the same as last year .

Until now, the APEC member countries continued to show growth . Thus, the free trade there are countries that will do the protection .

" It's the fact that we must look . For Indonesia , APEC is something that should be pursued export minimum lest we go down , if you can ride . APEC member countries there is a tendency of the most liberal protection . Interests us 140 billion dollars , if they are protective , interest we are at risk , "he continued .

However , until now, the government believes APEC member countries remains a promising market for Indonesian export market . "The portion of the world economy 55-60 percent of total world GDP . APEC GDP is now 33-35 trillion dollars , " he concluded .

One of a series of Summit ( Summit ) Countries Asia Pacific Cooperation ( APEC) meeting in Bali , at the upcoming October 5 to 9 , is the implementation of APEC - CEO Summit , which was attended by about 1,200 world -class CEO , or nearly double the than during the APEC - CEO Summit in Russia , in 2012.

Special Staff of the President of the Economic and Development Firmanzah rate, the high interest of the leaders of the global firms at the CEO summit this time not only as a positive signal for the implementation of APEC in Bali but also reflect the attractiveness of Indonesia as the organizer of the summit for the second time .

The CEO of Asia Pacific companies such as General Electric , CNN , DHL , Sumitomo , Bloomberg , Fedex , and so on , said Firmanzah , is a world -class corporation that plays an important role in the landscape of the business world today . Therefore , no exaggeration to the high interest in the implementation of the APEC - CEO Summit this time also brings high expectations for participants , including Indonesia .

" As a region which controls 56 per cent of GDP ( PPP ) or the world reached 46.6 trillion U.S. dollars by the end of 2012, the APEC - CEO summit meeting at a summit in Bali is expected to boost trade and investment areas as well as support the global recovery of world growth , " Firmanzah said as quoted from the pages of the Cabinet Secretariat in Jakarta , Monday ( 09/30/2013 ) .

Like the CEO Summit last year , according to Firmanzah , APEC CEO Summit 2013 is expected to result in a number of strategic decisions to continue to encourage the strengthening of the Asia-Pacific region amid the global financial industry turmoil recently.

Professor of the Faculty of Economics, University of Indonesia said the APEC CEO Summit 2013 with the theme " Towards Resilience and Growth : Reshaping for Global Economy " is scheduled to discuss a number of regional development programs and partnership opportunities that can be offered to the private sector to boost the region .

Cooperation and strategic partnership with the government is expected to push private agendas infrastructure and industrial development in the Asia Pacific region . " Dialogue between the government and the CEOs of global companies in Asia Pacific is a strategic step in discussing the dynamics of the world economy and the global business landscape , " said Firmanzah .

As the host of APEC this year , Indonesia proposed that APEC discussed and an agreement is grounded .

The agreement is very important at this time grounded . Indonesia's economy is suffering from the current account deficit and the trade deficit due to capital and financial account deficit indicates that the economy needed further transformation to be operational .

There are three priorities discussion meeting attended by the leaders of the 21 APEC economies and entities around 1,200 business leaders . First , implement the Bogor Goals agreement , namely the liberalization of trade and investment by 2010 for developed countries and 2020 for developing countries .

Secondly , realizing APEC's sustainable growth with equity . Third , the issue of connectivity ( connectivity ) , concerning the physical infrastructure as well as ease the traffic of people, goods , and services . The three priorities of APEC discussions relating to the Medium Term Development Plan 2009-2014 Indonesia .

APEC does give enormous opportunity for economic growth in Indonesia . Free trade and investment in theory gives members access to products entering the market every other member without a hitch . Rates among APEC members on average down to around 6.8 per cent of 16-17 per cent in the last 15 years . Heavy foreign investment to Indonesia until the middle of last year , mostly from members of APEC .

Second priority , to discuss , among other things , the issue of food security , renewable energy , marine , competitiveness of small and medium enterprises , to increase the participation of women in SMEs , as well as financial inclusion . This includes also discuss traditional medicine and medicinal plants for health .
food

In food security , for example , small -scale farmers agreed without no food security . Issue for Indonesia is food sovereignty concerning farmers' rights and food security related to consumer rights .

Irony that Indonesia as an agricultural country experienced food shortages , reflected , among others, from price fluctuations over time . This situation is detrimental to farmers as producers and consumers .

The grounds stabilize prices and prevent inflation , the government intervened specifically regulate the import of soybean and beef , including garlic , pepper , and red onion .

Inability to increase production to make Indonesia the market for food products from outside the result of eliminating the economic and employment opportunities in the domestic farmers .

There are many things that must be resolved to allow Indonesia to compete in the APEC . Intake technology and innovation can not be compromised , especially appropriate . It 's starting to lose lower yields , extend shelf life , guaranteed prices for farmers - producers immediately implement warehouse receipts , for example - to food safety .

Cooperation of the small farmers and entrepreneurs are expected to increase the capacity of small farmers in a mutually beneficial cooperation .

Indonesian farmers to compete with farmers in rich countries although highly efficient production , especially rice farmers . Rich country farmers got subsidies from the government in the form of a very large direct subsidies , in addition to costs for research and development , infrastructure , insurance , and protection of the product from the outside .

KOMPAS / FERGANATA INDRA RIATMOKO Illustration
In Indonesia , agro- food face high costs . Half due to political costs , only 30 percent of the real costs incurred farmers , and 20 percent due to inefficient infrastructure .

homework

Issues facing the food sector also occur in other areas . A number of regulatory perceived discrimination and hamper businesses in the country .

Financing and financial inclusion , for example , is still a problem . In addition to the conditions as the island nation is a challenge in building infrastructure , human capital is also a constraint in access to formal financial services .

Connectivity issues are discussed in the country since May 2011 through the Master Plan for the Acceleration and Expansion of Indonesian Economic Development to this day still halting its implementation . From the government side , the financing to build infrastructure be a constraint , but also private sector is not interested to invest immediately because it requires legal certainty and ease of doing business from central and local governments .

More inward-looking tendency , for example , policy kabotase , though aims to foster logistics industry in the country , on the other hand reduce the competitiveness of Indonesia . This is due to only a few were allowed into the harbor entrance - exit of goods from outside Indonesia .

Trade data shows that the contribution of international trade in the economy is still 15-16 percent smaller when compared with other countries . Indonesia also has not been entered in the global value chain of industrial products , except for a garment whose value is lower than other manufactured products .

Although the theme of sustainable and equitable economic growth , in fact , the issue of translating each country according to their own interests . This is reflected in the United States has not been agreed by the palm oil in as environmentally friendly products . CPO exposed to solar energy power plants in the context of renewable energy . Was in negotiations at the WTO for agricultural products trade dispute , Indonesian trading partners do not want to implement the repeal tariffs on imports to the country .

There are advantages APEC is a forum of cooperation is not binding . Indonesia can learn a lot from fellow members , especially in increasing capacity . The hope , of learning , and then applied to immediately go up a class, not just a list of chores .

total perdagangan Indoneia ke 21 negara anggota organisasi Asia Pacific Economic Coorperation mencapai 139,8 miliar dollar AS.

total perdagangan Indoneia ke 21 negara anggota organisasi  Asia Pacific Economic Coorperation  mencapai 139,8 miliar dollar AS.

 Wakil Menteri Perdagangan, Bayu Krisnamurthi mengatakan Indonesia sangat berkepentingan dalam Asia Pacific Economic Coorperation (APEC), karena total perdagangan ke 21 negara anggota organisasi itu mencapai 139,8 miliar dollar AS.

"Kurang lebih 70 persen dari total ekspor Indonesia itu ke negara-negara anggota APEC. Dari hampir 140 miliar dollar AS, non migas sebesar 103 miliar dollar AS," kata Bayu di kantor Kementerian Perdagangan, di Jakarta, pada Jumat (28/9/2013).

Ia menyebutkan, komoditas non migas yang cukup menonjol seperti karet dan minyak sawit mentah masing-masing memiliki nilai ekspor sekitar 5,5 miliar dollar AS.

"Kalau kita lihat struktur ekspor, sejauh ini masih didominasi oleh energi. Paling besar adalah gas alam senilai 15 miliar dollar AS, kemudian minyak 11,5 miliar dollar AS, dan batubara 7 miliar dollar AS, ini 3 yang paling besar, datang dari migas," imbuh Bayu.

Ia juga mengatakan, APEC merupakan forum yang cukup penting bagi Indonesia, meskipun perdagangan dengan negara-negara APEC pada 2012 masih mengalami defisit sebesar 7 miliar dollar AS.

Untuk itu, Indonesia akan terus terlibat dalam APEC dan meningkatkan kerjasama dengan negara-negara anggota. Dengan cara ini pemerintah menargetkan bisa mencatat neraca perdagangan minimal sama seperti tahun lalu.

Hingga saat ini, negara-negara anggota APEC semakin menunjukkan pertumbuhan ekonomi. Sehingga, dalam perdagangan bebas ada negara-negara yang akan melakukan proteksi.

"Ini fakta yang harus kita cermati. Bagi Indonesia, APEC ini sesuatu yang harus diusahakan minimum jangan sampai ekspor kita turun, kalau bisa naik. Negara anggota APEC yang paling liberal ada kecenderung proteksi. Kepentingan kita 140 miliar dollar AS, kalau mereka protektif, kepentingan kita beresiko," lanjut dia.

Namun, hingga saat ini pemerintah meyakini negara-negara anggota APEC masih menjadi pasar yang menjanjikan bagi pasar ekspor Indonesia. "Porsinya dalam ekonomi dunia 55-60 persen dari total GDP dunia. GDP APEC sekarang ini 33-35 triliun dollar AS," pungkasnya.

Salah satu rangkaian kegiatan Konferensi Tingkat Tinggi (KTT) Negara-Negara Kerjasama Asia Pasifik (APEC) di Bali, pada 5-9 Oktober mendatang, adalah penyelenggaraan APEC-CEO Summit, yang dihadiri oleh sekitar 1.200 CEO kelas dunia, atau hampir dua kali lipat dibanding saat penyelenggaraan APEC-CEO Summit di Rusia, tahun 2012 lalu.

Staf Khusus Presiden bidang Ekonomi dan Pembangunan Firmanzah menilai, tingginya animo para pemimpin perusahaaan global pada CEO summit kali ini bukan hanya sebagai sinyal positif bagi penyelenggaraan APEC di Bali tetapi juga mencermikan daya tarik Indonesia sebagai penyelenggara KTT untuk kedua kalinya.

Para CEO perusahaan-perusahaan Asia Pasifik seperti General Electric, CNN, DHL, Sumitomo, Bloomberg, Fedex, dan sebagainya, kata Firmanzah, merupakan korporasi kelas dunia yang memainkan peran penting dalam lanskap bisnis dunia saat ini. Karena itu, tidak berlebihan jika tingginya minat pada penyelenggaraan APEC-CEO Summit kali ini juga menghadirkan ekspektasi yang tinggi bagi para peserta termasuk Indonesia.

“Sebagai kawasan yang menguasai 56 persen GDP (PPP) dunia atau mencapai 46,6 triliun dollar AS pada akhir 2012, pertemuan APEC-CEO summit pada KTT di Bali diharapkan mampu mendorong perdagangan dan investasi kawasan sebagai upaya pemulihan global sekaligus penopang pertumbuhan dunia,” ujar Firmanzah seperti dikutip dari laman Sekretariat Kabinet di Jakarta, Senin (30/9/2013).

Seperti halnya CEO Summit tahun lalu, menurut Firmanzah, APEC CEO Summit 2013 diharapkan dapat menghasilkan sejumlah keputusan strategis untuk terus mendorong penguatan kawasan Asia Pasifik di tengah gejolak industri keuangan global beberapa waktu terakhir.

Guru Besar Fakultas Ekonomi Universitas Indonesia itu menyebutkan, APEC CEO Summit 2013 yang mengangkat tema “Towards Resilience and Growth: Reshaping for Global Economy” ini diagendakan membahas sejumlah program pembangunan kawasan dan peluang kerja sama yang dapat ditawarkan kepada swasta untuk mendorong penguatan kawasan.

Kerja sama dan kemitraan strategis pemerintah bersama swasta diharapkan dapat mendorong berbagai agenda pembangunan infrastuktur dan industri di kawasan Asia Pasifik. “Dialog antara pemerintah dan para CEO perusahaan global di Asia Pasifik merupakan langkah strategis dalam membahas dinamika ekonomi dunia dan lanskap bisnis global,” jelas Firmanzah.

Sebagai tuan rumah penyelenggaraan APEC tahun ini, Indonesia mengajukan usulan agar APEC membahas dan menghasilkan kesepakatan yang membumi.

Kesepakatan yang membumi sangat penting saat ini. Perekonomian Indonesia yang mengidap defisit transaksi berjalan akibat defisit perdagangan serta defisit transaksi modal dan keuangan menunjukkan bahwa perekonomian membutuhkan transformasi lanjutan yang harus operasional.

Ada tiga prioritas pembahasan pertemuan yang dihadiri para pemimpin 21 entitas ekonomi APEC dan sekitar 1.200 pemimpin bisnis. Pertama, melaksanakan kesepakatan Bogor Goals, yaitu liberalisasi perdagangan dan investasi pada 2010 bagi negara maju dan 2020 bagi negara berkembang.

Kedua, mewujudkan pertumbuhan berkelanjutan kawasan APEC disertai pemerataan. Ketiga, isu keterhubungan (konektivitas), menyangkut infrastruktur fisik serta kemudahan lalu lintas orang, barang, dan jasa. Tiga prioritas pembahasan APEC tersebut berkaitan dengan Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Menengah 2009-2014 Indonesia.

APEC memang memberi peluang sangat besar bagi pertumbuhan ekonomi Indonesia. Perdagangan bebas dan investasi secara teori memberi akses produk tiap anggota memasuki pasar anggota lain tanpa hambatan. Tarif di antara anggota APEC rata-rata turun menjadi sekitar 6,8 persen dari 16-17 persen pada 15 tahun lalu. Investasi asing masuk deras ke Indonesia hingga pertengahan tahun lalu, sebagian besar berasal dari anggota APEC.

Prioritas kedua, membahas, antara lain, isu ketahanan pangan, energi terbarukan, kelautan, daya saing usaha kecil dan menengah, meningkatkan partisipasi perempuan dalam UKM, serta inklusi keuangan. Hal itu termasuk juga membahas obat tradisional dan tanaman obat untuk kesehatan.
Pangan

Dalam ketahanan pangan, misalnya, disepakati tanpa petani skala kecil tidak ada ketahanan pangan. Isu bagi Indonesia adalah kedaulatan pangan menyangkut hak- hak petani dan ketahanan pangan yang berkaitan dengan hak-hak konsumen.

Ironi bahwa Indonesia sebagai negara agraris mengalami kekurangan pangan, tecermin antara lain dari gejolak harga dari waktu ke waktu. Situasi ini merugikan petani sebagai produsen dan konsumen.

Dengan alasan menstabilkan harga dan mencegah inflasi, pemerintah secara khusus turun tangan mengatur impor kedelai dan daging sapi, termasuk bawang putih, cabai, dan bawang merah.

Ketidakmampuan meningkatkan produksi menjadikan Indonesia pasar bagi produk pangan dari luar dengan akibat menghilangkan kesempatan ekonomi dan lapangan kerja petani di dalam negeri.

Ada banyak hal yang harus diselesaikan agar Indonesia dapat bersaing di dalam APEC. Asupan teknologi dan inovasi tidak dapat ditawar, terutama yang tepat guna. Hal itu mulai dari menurunkan kehilangan hasil panen, memperpanjang umur simpan, jaminan harga bagi petani produsen—segera melaksanakan resi gudang, misalnya—hingga keamanan pangan.

Kerja sama petani kecil dan pengusaha besar diharapkan meningkatkan kapasitas petani kecil dalam kerja sama saling menguntungkan.

Petani Indonesia sulit bersaing dengan petani negara kaya meskipun sangat efisien berproduksi, terutama petani beras. Petani negara kaya mendapat subsidi sangat besar dari pemerintahnya berupa subsidi langsung, selain biaya untuk riset dan pengembangan, infrastruktur, asuransi, dan proteksi terhadap produk dari luar.

KOMPAS/FERGANATA INDRA RIATMOKO Ilustrasi
Di Indonesia, agrobisnis pangan menghadapi biaya tinggi. Separuhnya disebabkan biaya politik, hanya 30 persen biaya riil yang dikeluarkan petani, dan 20 persen karena infrastruktur tidak efisien.

Pekerjaan rumah

Persoalan yang dihadapi sektor pangan juga terjadi dalam bidang-bidang lain. Sejumlah regulasi dirasakan mendiskriminasi dan menghambat pelaku usaha di dalam negeri.

Pembiayaan dan inklusi keuangan, misalnya, masih menjadi persoalan. Selain kondisi sebagai negara kepulauan menjadi tantangan dalam membangun infrastruktur, sumber daya manusia juga menjadi kendala dalam akses terhadap jasa keuangan formal.

Isu konektivitas yang di dalam negeri dibahas sejak Mei 2011 melalui Master Plan Percepatan dan Perluasan Pembangunan Ekonomi Indonesia sampai hari ini masih tersendat-sendat pelaksanaannya. Dari sisi pemerintah, pembiayaan membangun infrastruktur menjadi kendala, tetapi swasta juga tidak tertarik segera berinvestasi karena membutuhkan kepastian hukum dan kemudahan berbisnis dari pemerintah pusat dan daerah.

Kecenderungan lebih melihat ke dalam, misalnya, kebijakan kabotase, meskipun bertujuan menumbuhkan industri logistik di dalam negeri, di sisi lain menurunkan daya saing Indonesia. Hal ini disebabkan hanya beberapa pelabuhan diizinkan menjadi pintu masuk-keluar barang dari luar Indonesia.

Data perdagangan memperlihatkan bahwa kontribusi perdagangan internasional dalam perekonomian masih 15-16 persen, kecil bila dibandingkan dengan negara lain. Indonesia juga belum masuk di dalam rantai nilai global produk industri, kecuali untuk garmen yang nilainya rendah dibandingkan produk manufaktur lain.

Meskipun mengusung tema pertumbuhan ekonomi berkelanjutan dan pemerataan, dalam kenyataan, tiap negara menerjemahkan isu tersebut menurut kepentingan masing-masing. Hal ini tecermin dari belum disepakatinya oleh Amerika Serikat minyak sawit masuk sebagai produk ramah lingkungan. CPO dihadapkan pada pembangkit listrik energi surya dalam konteks energi terbarukan. Pun pada perundingan di WTO untuk sengketa perdagangan produk pertanian, negara mitra dagang Indonesia tidak mau melaksanakan pencabutan tarif impor ke negaranya.

Ada keuntungan APEC merupakan forum kerja sama tidak mengikat. Indonesia bisa belajar banyak dari sesama anggota, terutama dalam meningkatkan kapasitas. Harapannya, dari belajar, lalu diterapkan agar segera naik kelas, tidak sekadar menjadi daftar pekerjaan rumah.

soybeans will be planted in the new land of 100,000 square acres . in Indonesia

soybeans will be planted in the new land of 100,000 square acres . in Indonesia

Coordinating Minister for the Economy Hatta Rajasa said the government continues to work for Indonesia to reduce dependency on imported food , even self-sufficiency .

Such as soy , Hatta said , in the near future will be planted in the new land of 100,000 square acres . Most of the land was in Aceh , which is an area of ​​60,000 square acres . The rest will be planted in various areas .

" With three times the harvest , it could generate an additional 500-600 thousand tons of soybeans ( per year ) . Gradually we reduce dependence on imports , " Hatta said after the plenary cabinet meeting at the Presidential Office , Jakarta , Tuesday ( 01/10/2013 ) .

Plenary cabinet meeting led by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono was to discuss economic issues .
Hatta offensive criticism related parties soybean import policy . From the first, he said , Indonesia has been importing soybeans because domestic production is not sufficient .

The difficulty of making soybean self-sufficiency , Hatta said , because farmers are not interested in planting if soybean prices below Rp 7,000 per kilogram . If under Rp 7,000 per kilogram , more farmers interested in planting sugar cane , rice , or other commodities . However , he said , is now interested soybean farmers after price above Rp 7,000 per kilogram .

As reported , the national soybean needs about 2.5 million tons per year . However , currently only one-third can be met by local production . The rest must be imported . As a result , when the rupiah weakened against the U.S. dollar , the price of soybeans soaring .

 Soybean farmers in Jember , East Java , said fret because they can not enjoy the high soybean prices . Because in the near future , will soon harvest .

" We are very concerned , because usually at the time of harvest , local soybean prices tumbled " said One Soybean Farmers in Sub Bangsalsari Jember , Edi Suryono , on Saturday ( 07.28.13 ) .

He added that the fate of the current soybean farmers URLs precarious . For there is no protection at all from the government to the farmers . Suryono likens , soybean farmers in Indonesia " killed " in a way by the government gradually .

Evidently, whenever the harvest season , soybean prices tumbled definitely . He hopes , ahead of the harvest season in October , the government immediately adopted a policy , which pro soybean farmers . " At least there is a strategic policy that essentially siding with the farmers " he said .

The soy tofu await realization of low- Bulog sold through Cooperative Indonesian Tofu and Tempe ( Coptic ) .

" If there is ( supply in Bulog ) we take , through Coptic . KOPTI But the problem runs baseball , not signed . Bulog We hope to be sustainable and the crafters are expected to hold rates steady , " said the owner knows the Son Sumo production center , during a visit by the Minister Sutaryodi trade , Gita Wirjawan , Jakarta , Friday ( 09/20/2013 ) .

According crafters know of Utan Kayu , Jakarta , soybean prices are still in the range of Rp 9,200 to Rp 9,500 per kilogram . In fact sufficiently large production capacity , which is about seven quintals per day .

Once production , former civil servants of the air transportation services , the cost of Rp 2 million . It also uses fuel wood . Manufacturers that use gaseous fuels , the cost of production is greater. " We take it from traditional markets such as Djatinegara , because in Coptic not enter , " he continued .

In line with Sutaryo , one member of Benny Primkopti ( Primary Cooperative Know Tempe Indonesia ) Jakarta Timur , also hopes Gita intervene immediately so that crafters can get soybeans at a lower price .

Some time ago the local soybean Bulog sells from Aceh to the Indonesian Tofu and Tempe Cooperative Center ( Puskopti ) DKI Jakarta for Rp 8,100 per kilogram .

kedelai akan ditanam di atas lahan baru seluas 100.000 hektar persegi. di Indonesia

kedelai akan ditanam di atas lahan baru seluas 100.000 hektar persegi. di Indonesia

Menteri Koordinator bidang Perekonomian Hatta Rajasa mengatakan, pemerintah terus berupaya agar Indonesia bisa mengurangi ketergantungan impor pangan, bahkan bisa swasembada.

Seperti kedelai, kata Hatta, dalam waktu dekat akan ditanam di atas lahan baru seluas 100.000 hektar persegi. Paling besar lahan berada di Aceh, yakni seluas 60.000 hektar persegi. Sisanya akan ditanam di berbagai daerah.

"Dengan tiga kali panen, maka bisa menghasilkan 500-600 ribu ton kedelai tambahan (per tahun). Secara bertahap kita kurangi ketergantungan pada impor," kata Hatta seusai sidang kabinet paripurna di Kantor Presiden, Jakarta, Selasa (1/10/2013).

Sidang kabinet paripurna yang dipimpin Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono itu membahas masalah ekonomi.
Hatta menyinggung kritikan berbagai pihak terkait kebijakan impor kedelai. Sejak dulu, kata dia, Indonesia sudah mengimpor kedelai lantaran produksi dalam negeri tidak mencukupi kebutuhan.

Sulitnya membuat swasembada kedelai, kata Hatta, lantaran petani tidak tertarik menanam jika harga kedelai di bawah Rp 7.000 per kilogram. Jika di bawah Rp 7.000 per kilogram, petani lebih tertarik menanam tebu, beras, atau komoditas lain. Namun, kata dia, kini petani tertarik kedelai setelah harga di atas Rp 7.000 per kilogram.

Seperti diberitakan, kebutuhan kedelai nasional sekitar 2,5 juta ton per tahun. Namun, saat ini baru sepertiganya bisa dipenuhi oleh produksi lokal. Selebihnya mesti impor. Akibatnya, ketika rupiah melemah terhadap dollar AS, harga kedelai melonjak.

 Petani Kedelai di Jember, Jawa Timur, mengaku resah karena tidak bisa menikmati tingginya harga kedelai. Sebab dalam waktu dekat, akan segera panen raya.

"Kami sangat kawatir, sebab biasanya pada saat musim panen raya, harga kedelai lokal anjlok" ujar Salah satu Petani Kedelai di Kecamatan Bangsalsari Jember, Edi Suryono, Sabtu (28/7/13).

Ia menambahkan, nasib petani kedelai saat ini ibaratkan telur di ujung tanduk. Sebab tidak ada perlindungan sama sekali dari pemerintah terhadap para petani. Suryono mengibaratkan, petani kedelai di Indonesia "dibunuh" dengan cara pelan-pelan oleh pemerintah.

Terbukti, setiap kali musim panen, harga kedelai pasti anjlok. Ia berharap, menjelang musim panen raya bulan Oktober mendatang, pemerintah segera mengambil kebijakan, yang pro terhadap petani kedelai. “Paling tidak ada kebijakan strategis yang intinya berpihak kepada petani” ujarnya.

Para perajin tahu menantikan realisasi kedelai murah dari Perum Bulog yang dijual melalui Koperasi Tahu Tempe Indonesia (Kopti).

"Kalau memang ada (pasokan di Bulog) kita ambil, melalui Kopti. Tapi masalahnya kopti enggak berjalan, belum masuk. Kami harap Bulog bisa berkesinambungan dan yang perajin diharapkan terus harga stabil," kata pemilik sentra produksi tahu Putra Sumo, Sutaryodi saat kunjungan Menteri Perdagangan, Gita Wirjawan, Jakarta, Jumat (20/9/2013).

Menurut perajin tahu dari Utan Kayu, Jakarta ini, harga kedelai masih di kisaran Rp 9.200 hingga Rp 9.500 per kilogram. Padahal kapasitas produksinya cukup besar, yakni sekitar tujuh kwintal per hari.

Sekali produksi, mantan PNS dari dinas perhubungan udara itu, mengeluarkan biaya sebesar Rp 2 juta. Itu pun menggunakan bahan bakar kayu. Produsen yang menggunakan bahan bakar gas, mengeluarkan biaya produksi lebih besar. "Kami ambilnya dari pasar-pasar tradisional seperti Jatinegara, karena di Kopti belum masuk," lanjut dia.

Senada dengan Sutaryo, Benny salah satu anggota Primkopti (Primer Koperasi Tahu Tempe Indonesia) Jakarta Timur, juga berharap Gita segera campur tangan supaya perajin bisa mendapatkan kedelai dengan harga lebih rendah.

Beberapa waktu lalu Perum Bulog menjual kedelai lokal asal Aceh kepada Pusat Koperasi Tahu Tempe Indonesia (Puskopti) DKI Jakarta seharga Rp 8.100 per kilogram.

oposisi Suriah mengikuti konferensi damai soal Suriah di Geneva, Swiss.

oposisi Suriah mengikuti konferensi damai soal Suriah di Geneva, Swiss.

 Pihak Rusia membolehkan oposisi Suriah mengikuti konferensi damai soal Suriah di Geneva, Swiss. "Oposisi Suriah hadir dalam opini bukan teroris atau ekstremis," kata Menteri Luar Negeri Rusia Sergey Lavrov merujuk pada syarat yang diminta negaranya.


Lavrov menerangkan konferensi damai itu sendiri bertajuk Konferensi Damai Geneva II. "Pihak Barat harus menjelaskan posisi kelompok oposisi Suriah agar ada kejelasan dalam konferensi damai nanti," kata Lavrov.

Lavrov, dalam kesempatan berbicara kepada media pada Selasa (1/10/2013) sebagaimana warta AP, juga mengkritik PBB yang tidak menempatkan tim pakar senjata kimia untuk memeriksa Aleppo. Rusia mengklaim Aleppo adalah basis kelompok oposisi Suriah. "Rusia akan tetap melanjutkan penyelidikan soal senjata kimia Suriah," katanya.

Soal senjata kimia Suriah memang mengemuka sejak serangan di Ghouta, Damaskus, pada 21 Agustus 2013. Waktu itu, ada 1.400 warga yang tewas. Dugaan kuat mengemuka kalau rezim Presiden Suriah Bashar al-Assad menggunakan senjata kimia dalam serangan tersebut.

Pada Senin kemarin, penyelidik PBB meninggalkan Suriah setelah enam hari melakukan penyelidikan di negara itu. "Tim akan menuntaskan laporan penyelidikan akhir Oktober," kata Juru Bicara PBB Martin Nesirky.

 Presiden Perancis Francois Hollande mengatakan Suriah harus memunyai pemerintahan transisi yang berisi seluruh perwakilan pihak-pihak di negeri itu. "Pemerintahan transisi membuat Suriah bisa memperbaharui keadaan,"kata Hollande di Markas Besar PBB di New York.

Hollande juga berpesan agar komunitas internasional memunyai tugas untuk ikut mengakhiri kekerasan di Suriah. "Penghentian kekerasan di Suriah efektif dengan resolusi Dewan Keamanan. Khususnya untuk sanksi penggunaan senjata kimia,"katanya sebagaimana warta AP pada Rabu (25/9/2013).

Hollande menganggap penting soal pemusnahan senjata kimia dengan resolusi PBB. "Kami menanti waktu secepatnya untuk resolusi tersebut," demikian Francois Hollande.

Tim Organisasi Pelarangan Senjata Kimia (OPCW) PBB siap membongkar persenjataan kimia Suriah. Pada tahap awal, Selasa (1/10/2013), tim yang sudah hadir di Damaskus itu berkekuatan 20 peninjau dan 15 staf administrasi. Targetnya, sampai dengan semester pertama 2014, pembongkaran dan pemusnahan senjata itu tuntas. "Tim OPCW mendapat mandat dari PBB sejak Jumat (27/9/2013) malam," kata pernyataan Dewan Keamanan PBB sebagaimana warta AP.

Secara rinci, pada tahap awal tersebut, tim akan memetakan ukuran dan lokasi sistem senjata kimia tersebut. Suriah sudah mengatakan bahwa pihaknya memiliki sistem persenjataan kimia pada September lalu.

Kemudian, pada tahap berikutnya, Suriah dalam pengawasan PBB akan membantu OPCW membuka cadangan persenjataan kimia dan memusnahkannya. "Pemusnahan akan meliputi pula sistem produksi dan pengiriman," demikian pernyataan OPCW.
