where self-sufficiency for farmers?

where self-sufficiency for farmers?

Indonesia is the world's richest country in terms of ownership of paddy fields.According to the ICID (2005) Indonesia is ranked 9th in terms of ownership of paddy fields. Although the ratio between the ownership of wetland area with a population, Indonesia is 10 times smaller than India and China. Indonesia with a population of about 220 million (2000) has only 7.56 million ha. While India with a population of 1 billion (2000) has 57 million ha of paddy fields and China with a population of 1.3 Billion (2000) has 55 million ha of agricultural land. We should underline, all the land (in China & India) is an alias is not irrigated rainfed rice etc.. Which case, if we see from the table above, the highest productivity as compared with other rice types (5-fold more). However, when compared with the other two countries that, compared to Singapore for example, of which only has an area of ​​699.3 square kilometers (69,930 ha). So, just by comparing the agricultural land area alone, Indonesia has 100 times the total area of ​​the territory of that State. That is, to achieve food self-sufficiency, not a hard target. It could even be said, it should become commonplace. Kelumrahan here can be equated with kelumrahan Indonesian citizens who do not spit in front of people. Kelumrahan young man walking bent when walking in front of elderly people in Yogyakarta, Solo, Java in particular and people in general. So, if it is not achieved / occur, it is not strange if there should be blamed. For example kelumrahan walk in front of elderly people in Java, if it is not done, then it is not strange that blame the school is going there (eg: not strange if someone would say "what kind of school, how can only produce a child does not know manners like that "), his parents ie:" The parents would not teach him good manners "and so forth. Similarly, food self-sufficiency in Indonesia, if it was not achieved / happening, is very reasonable if there is to blame, and the most tender is the government. Although government may side with easy to blame the condition of Nature.Many reasons when most soft targets for the achievement of food self-sufficiency is not the government. Some of them are the duties and powers greater synergy of all human potential and resources to achieve this (Self-food).However, if we look at the policies of the Indonesian economy post-1998 reform, peasant society, it is a society where the majority in Indonesia, abandoned. Since that time until now, we are no stranger to hear Industrialization Indonesia in order to face the globalization era by mimicking the style of industrialization of Europe, America, Japan, and Korea. With the excuse that we can align with the States. Paradigm, not an absolute kesalahhan if existing policies do not forget that Ideal Industries sector for Indonesia (Agriculture).Since the reform until now, Indonesia could be said no longer see that potential.Proven with over 10 years Indonesia has not build any dams to support agriculture.And in Indonesia during that time also failed to achieve food self-sufficiency.Kelumrahan that should happen but in 10 years was not achieved. Hence, it is not strange if it is reached, many are scrambling to claim it as an achievement of a particular party. Like the child who does not know to be extremely polite manners, it is reasonable if one is claiming that it was an achievement. But for this case will not be fighting over deh. And the most strange, when I surf on the internet, there are data that Indonesia to import rice from the country total area 100 times smaller than the vast rice fields of Indonesia, in http://database.deptan.go.id/eksim/hasilimporNegaraT.asp.Well that's the fate of Indonesian farmers, "alone" to figure out how to get the urea fertilizer, "alone" to think how to supply water to their fields, "alone" to think of ways to increase the price of grain and so forth. However, the results of his solitude, it will be claimed by the parties who should be responsible for solitude.At the end of this paper, the author invites to all those who still have aspirations for Indonesia become the Super Power of State to make a move. First and most realistic is that we move in the agricultural sector with a greater focus than other sectors. No other, existing policies should be more concerned with the fate of Indonesian Farmers' Where is the main subject matter for these ideals. Recommendations "concrete" policy:1. Convert all fields in Indonesia to be irrigated, by:- Building a dam at the most, even if necessary, do not let a drop of river water flowed into the sea in addition to rice fields. And it also can cope with floods and droughts.- Create artesian wells2. Broad access to capital for farmers3. Broad access to information about agriculture- Provide counseling-counseling- Established the Education with an output of students who are ready to engage in agriculture. For example: Vocational Agriculture (not only automotive vocational school, etc.)4. Building industry with raw materials from agricultural products, not only producing airplanes, automobiles, trains, etc..That was just executed, God willing, someday we can be equated with advanced nations in the world. Excessive??, According to the author is not well. Remember, smart, smart man, must eat. Food that we can produce through agriculture. With that, we as a country can be said for the State penghidup other. To be able to heal (Doctor), To Educate (Lecturer, Teacher), To be able to work (employees of the aircraft, jets, etc.), to create innovation (researchers), even to be able to create a vehicle that could reach the planet Jupiter which was need ate his name. Well, suppose we can master it, it is not difficult for the State who rely on our results (the only food of our agricultural products) which can penetrate either the State or State angasa impoverished commoners, lifting cap for our country. And does not affect us too hard for other countries. Country alias we become Super Power. Let the Japanese people producing robot, anyway can we exchange with our rice, allow the United States, Iran, North Korea etc, creating an important nuclear technology when he was hungry he calls us.
