Read opinions about salt farmers in this country

In my interview with salt farmers. Sharing stories and complaints with salt farmers. Many of the things they are actually talking about and questioning about government policies related to salt farmers, especially the instability of the price of salt and the decision to import salt.

but that's what I want to tell you. We want to tell you about a salt farmer's commentary from Aceh about salt dispersal in the salt barn and what the government has been doing. The salt farmer with unbelieving eyes and the head shook his head, revealed that this phenomenon is crazy.

We want to share stories about the hottest issues, the salt crisis and the Welfare Constraints of the Farmers "

The crisis of shortages of salt supply occurs again. This is the irony of our country's development. How could this continue to happen in a country that has thousands of kilometers of coastline. As the incident continues to recur, it is suspect that there is something wrong in the management of production and distribution.

In addition to millions of salt farmers have gone downhill to work in ponds production, we also have a government agency that has served decades in this field to regulate and direct salt farmers, Namely PN Salt. So what does the government agency do when such incidents keep repeating, whereas the state-owned company also has the obligation to foster farmers.

I think, Not just this time there is something unique or strange. Previously, we had experienced an oil crisis. even though we are one of the petroleum-producing countries. This is also something weird.

New Order era, had claimed this country with a strong food security, We are ready to become a rice granary, but eventually we experienced a food crisis.

In other words, for those of us who have experienced the life of the Old Order, the New Order or the Reformasi, there must have been a lot of experience about the peculiarities in this country.

Indonesia, which is known as a country rich in natural resources, why even experienced the natural resource crisis.

One of the thoughts that can arise in our mind is the domestic economic commodities we do not have power or we are not sovereign with the management of the natural wealth itself. Save words, it could be in this regard describes a mistake manejeman or management of natural resources.

How can we build a maritime axis in this country, if we ourselves are not sovereign in managing this natural wealth?

This is a painful, sad and very confusing statement. "Why, in our country that in fact is a martitime land, even in this Jokowi-JK leadership, we insist on building axis-maritime. But, why is the price of salt difficult to control? "

Sir and lady, I am also confused for the person who tries through the security world.

Indeed there is a mention of salt farmers, but why it feels so illogical. The name of the farmer is identical with the management of plants / plants.

The Agricultural Service did not seem to include the salt business profession as a farmer.

I personally think it is more accurately called "Miner", equivalent to gold miners and other minerals.
