Jokowi increases pumping to overcome possible long drought
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – President Joko Widodo or Jokowi directly observe the implementation of pumping assistance for rice field irrigation and agriculture (pumping) in Bapeang Village, East Kotawaringin Regency, Central Kalimantan, Wednesday, June 26, 2024. Jokowi accelerates the pumping process to overcome the potential drought which should take place from July to October.
Jokowi said that currently all countries are affected by heat waves and long droughts. For this reason, all countries have experienced a decline in rice production.
“Our country is also the same, the BMKG estimates will be in July, August, September, October and hopefully not before there are heat waves, droughts, which must be anticipated. Therefore, first prepare for anticipation, which is called pumping,” he reportedly said in the video from the Presidential Secretariat.
The government has prepared 20,000 pumping units for initial distribution which will be distributed throughout the country. The number of pumping units will be increased to 70,000 units.
For the East Kotawaringin region, the government has distributed 31 pumps which can currently irrigate only 435 hectares out of a total of 7,600 hectares of potential rainfed rice fields. The Ministry of Agriculture will strive to meet the overall pump needs to ensure that all areas can be met.
During his visit to Bapeang Village, Jokowi also interacted directly with farmers. The Palace, in a written statement, said that the presence of the pump makes it possible to increase the frequency of harvests. “Yes, what used to be two (harvests) could become three. Previously, one (harvest) could become two or three,” the president said.
