🌾 Strategies for Food Security Amidst Climate Variability

This paragraph delves into the importance of strategic food commodities, particularly rice, and the government's efforts to ensure domestic production meets the majority of the national demand. It notes that while rice imports are minimal, other commodities like soybeans, garlic, and sugar have a high dependency on imports, with some reaching up to 90%. The speaker emphasizes the need for the government to focus on boosting domestic production to reduce the impact of inflation caused by these commodities. The paragraph also touches on the challenges faced during the first rice harvest of 2024, which experienced a slight decrease in production compared to the previous year. The hope is placed on the upcoming third planting season, influenced by La Niña, to increase rice production and replenish food reserves. The government is urged to implement mitigation strategies, such as using flood and pest-resistant rice varieties, to ensure a stable food supply.

Keywords

💡Inflation

Inflation refers to the rate at which the general level of prices for goods and services is rising, and subsequently, the purchasing power of currency is falling. In the video's context, it is a central theme as it discusses how factors such as climate events (Lanina and El Nino) and food prices influence the inflation rate, which is a key economic indicator. The script mentions the government's target for inflation and how certain events can cause it to rise or fall outside of that target.

💡Deflation

Deflation is the opposite of inflation, where there is a decrease in the general price level of goods and services. It is mentioned in the script to highlight a situation where the general price level is not only stable but actually declining, which can also have significant economic implications. The speaker discusses a period of deflation in the context of food prices, which is unusual and prompts an analysis of its causes and potential impacts.

💡Food Prices

Food prices are a critical component of the cost of living and are closely watched as an indicator of economic health. The script identifies food prices as a significant factor in the formation of high inflation, especially when there are disruptions in agricultural production. For example, the script notes how a decrease in rice production due to climate events can lead to higher food prices and, consequently, higher inflation.

💡Lanina

Lanina, also known as La Niña, is a climate pattern characterized by cooler than average sea surface temperatures in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. In the script, Lanina is discussed as a factor that can disrupt agricultural production due to droughts, leading to a decrease in crop yields like rice, which has a substantial impact on food prices and inflation.

💡Elnino

El Niño is the counterpart to La Niña and is characterized by unusually warm ocean temperatures in the equatorial Pacific. The script contrasts the effects of El Niño with those of La Niña, noting that while both can impact agricultural production, La Niña tends to have a more significant impact on rice production and, by extension, inflation.

💡Rice Production

Rice is a staple food for many countries, and its production levels can significantly influence food security and economic stability. The script provides specific examples of how changes in rice production due to climate events like Lanina and El Niño can lead to fluctuations in food prices and affect inflation rates.

💡Subsidies

Subsidies are financial assistance provided by the government to support certain industries or to make essential goods more affordable. In the script, the potential impact of changes in fuel subsidies is discussed, suggesting that any reduction or limitation could increase the cost of living and, in turn, contribute to inflation.

💡Climate Events

Climate events refer to significant occurrences in the Earth's climate system, such as floods, droughts, and storms, which can have wide-ranging effects on agriculture, infrastructure, and human life. The script discusses how climate events like Lanina and El Niño can lead to changes in agricultural production, which in turn affects food prices and inflation.

💡Agricultural Production

Agricultural production encompasses the processes of growing crops and raising livestock. It is a foundational sector of the economy, especially in countries where a large portion of the population depends on farming. The script highlights how external factors like climate events can significantly disrupt agricultural production, leading to economic consequences such as inflation.

💡Strategic Commodities

Strategic commodities are essential goods that are critical to a country's security and economic stability. In the script, rice is identified as a strategic commodity, with its import levels and domestic production being closely monitored to ensure food security and manage inflation.

💡Harvest Seasons

Harvest seasons refer to the periods when crops are typically gathered. The script mentions 'panen raya' or the main harvest season, which is pivotal for determining the annual production levels of crops like rice. The success or failure of these harvests can have a direct impact on food availability and prices.

Highlights

Inflation is still in line with government targets despite recent figures.

Food prices are a significant factor in the highest inflation rates.

The potential for La Niña to cause a significant increase in food prices is discussed.

El Niño and La Niña can disrupt agricultural production due to water scarcity and floods.

In 2011, strong La Niña caused a 10.5% drop in rice production.

In contrast, the 2015 El Niño only reduced rice production by 0.4%.

The impact of La Niña on production is generally more severe than El Niño.

In 2023, El Niño led to only a 1.39% decrease in rice production.

El Niño also impacts inflation, as seen in the high inflation rates of 2011 due to a significant drop in rice production.

Rice contributes significantly to inflation, with over 3.8% impact.

In 2023, a series of price increases were not solely due to El Niño but also rising fuel prices.

In early 2024, food prices continued to rise compared to 2023, but the last three months experienced deflation.

The current expectation is that food prices are normalizing or may continue to decrease amidst La Niña threats.

Government mitigation efforts are needed to address the impact of droughts and potential fuel price increases.

Import sensitivity and the need for political approaches with other countries regarding rice imports are highlighted.

The government is urged to focus on increasing domestic rice production to reduce reliance on imports.

Other commodities like soybeans, garlic, sugar, and meat have high import rates and contribute to inflation.

The first harvest of 2024 showed a slight decrease in production compared to 2023.

The hope for the future is that the third planting season in 2024 can boost rice production to replenish food reserves.

Government mitigation strategies should include promoting flood and pest-resistant rice varieties.

Transcripts

Bu Eliza kalau kita melihat angka

inflasi yang terakhir ini kan sebenarnya

masih sesuai dengan target pemerintah

begitu bahkan terjadi deflasi secara

umum tapi kita lihat untuk

em harga pangan ini memang

em menjadi salah satu faktor pembentuk

inflasi yang paling tinggi begitu

artinya jika memang lalina ini akan

terjadi Anda lihat ee kemungkinan

melonjaknya ini seberapa besar dan

apakah juga akan berpotensi untuk

membuat inflasi umum ini akan di t

target dari

pemerintah iya ee jadi memang kita

ketahui bahwa baik itu Lanina ataupun

Elnino itu akan mengganggu produksi eh

tanaman pertanian ya karena saat kita

kekurangan air itu pun akan mengganggu

produksi ketika Lanina juga terjadi

banjir itu akan menurunkan produksi Nah

kalau kita berbicara dari ee Lanina

misalnya tahun 2011 itu kan Lanina kuat

ya Nah itu produksi padi itu turun

hampir

10,5%. nah sementara ee misalnya Elnino

kuat tahun 2015 itu penurunannya hanya

0,4% jadi memang dampak Lanina ini kalau

menurut eh dari data time series ya itu

penurunan produksinya itu lebih lebih

dalam dibandingkan dengan ketika El Nino

misalnya tahun 2023 kemarin El Nino itu

turun produksinya hanya sekitar 1,39%.

nah tapi ee kalau kita lihat

ee terhadap dampaknya terhadap inflasi

sebetulnya e Nino pun berdampak terhadap

inflasi nah namun untuk ee beberapa

kasus misalnya tahun 2011 itu inflasinya

juga cukup tinggi sampai ke inflasi

umumnya itu sekitar 7% karena memang eh

dari segi e produksi beras itu turunnya

hampir

10,5% kita ketahui bahwa beras ini eh

kontribusi terhadap inflasinya itu cukup

besar ya di atas

3,8% jadi memang begitu besar dampaknya

terhadap inflasi sehingga ketika terjadi

penurunan ee produksi beras ini

berdampak terhadap inflasi nah ketika

dengan

ee terjadi Elnino tahun 2023 kemarin Nah

ini kan sebetulnya dia ada rentetan

kenaikan harga jadi tidak faktor tunggal

eh apa kenaikan harga pangan itu ada

akibat dari kenaikan harga wbm juga dari

faktor Elnino tahun 2023 dan di awal

tahun 2024 itu harga pangan eh naik

terus kan trennya dibandingkan dengan

tahun 2023 nah namun 3 bulan terakhir

ini kita mengalami deflasi Ya karena

memang tahun awal tahun 2024 ini sudah

tinggi harga pangan ya jadi saat ini tuh

kembali ke ee menuju ke bergerak ke

harga keseimbangan baru baik artinya

menurut e Ibu memang saat ini harga

sudah masuk dalam masa normalisasi atau

masih ada potensi untuk melanjutkan

penurunan di tengah ancaman Lanina

ini nah jadi eh kalau tadi berbicara

mengenai faktor-faktor yang bisa memicu

kenaikan harga ini bukan hanya faktor

dari Elnino ataupun Lanina tapi juga ada

ketika kenaikan harga BBM nah misalnya

Tahun 2022 itu terjadi kenaikan harga

BBM inflasinya cukup tinggi nah terjadi

juga pada tahun 2014 ketika kenaikan

harga BBM itu inflasinya juga terkerek

tinggi Nah jadi kalau misalnya ni

pemerintah nanti tanggal 17 Agustus

mulai di berlakukan pembatasan

subsidi BBM Nah ini akan berdampak

eh cukup signifikan terhadap kenaikan

inflasi karena kalau misalkan kita ke

depan ini kan 2 bulan ke depan ini kita

akan dihadapkan dengan kemarau dulu ya

untuk sekitar pulau Jawa dan sekitarnya

gitu Nah nanti

eh Lanina ini diprediksi akan mulai

terjadi pada bulan September yaitu pada

waktu musim tanam ketiga Nah jadi memang

waktu-waktu 2 bulan ke depan ini ad

waktu-waktu krusial jangan sampai

pemerintah di tengah eh kemarau ini ada

beberapa wilayah yang hari tanpa hujan

itu cukup panjang sampai 30 hari lebih

gitu nah ini kan yang harus diantisipasi

oleh pemerintah ke depan saat ini

menurut saya itu adalah memitigasi dari

dampak kekeringan dan juga kalau bisa

ini jangan sampai

e harga BBM ini naik gitu atau misalkan

dibatasi volumenya kalaupun volume BBM

subsidi dibatasi kepada masyarakat

artinya masyarakat harus membeli yang

non subsidi nah ini ini kan jadi

menambah ee biaya pengeluaran mereka

yang mana ini akan berdampak kepada

kenaikan harga-harga lainnya seperti itu

tadi disampaikan Ibu Widia beras ini

yang harus menjadi fokus begitu tapi

kita tahu betapa impor beras ini menjadi

hal yang sensitif dan juga ini

membutuhkan pendekatan politik dengan

negara-negara lain begitu Apakah artinya

dalam e Upaya mitigasi harus ada

pendekatan-pendekatan tersebut yang

harus dilakukan pemerintah mulai dari

sekarang mengingat lelin yang akan

terjadi di kuartel akhir tahun

ini ya Ee jadi memang kalau kita petakan

komoditas pangan strategis itu beras itu

kurang lebih ee impornya itu enggak

sampai 10% lebih Mbak jadi memang kita

masih 90%nya dari dalam negeri dan kalau

misalnya kita berbicara mengenai

komoditas seperti kedelai bawang putih

itu kan impornya tu sampai 90% lebih ya

karena juga gula gula pasir itu kan kita

juga impornya 60% terhadap total

kebutuhan dalam negeri Begitu juga

dengan daging sapi kerbau itu 54%nya

dipenuhi dari impor Nah tadi kalau

misalkan kita berbicara berat karena

memang dia komoditas yang paling besar

terhadap andil inflasinya itu sekitar 3%

dibandingkan dengan komoditas-komoditas

lainnya maka memang pemerintah harus

memfokuskan untuk menggenjot produksi

nah tapi kalau kita lihat trend misalkan

panen raya kemarin itu prognosisnya

kurang lebih

eh hasil produksi pada panen pertama

panen raya pertama tahun 2024

dibandingkan dengan panen raya Tahun

2023 kemarin itu sedikit Mengalami

penurunan Nah jadi memang Eh pada panen

raya pertama ini e terjadi penurunan nah

P pada panen raya kedua nanti juga akan

relatif turun karena memang seperti itu

patternnya seperti biasa nah kita ini

berharap satu-satunya Harapan Kita ke

depan adalah ketika Lina tadi tahun eh

bulan September 2024 ini ini bisa

setidaknya ee menggenjot produksi padi

jadi ada beberapa lahan pertanian kita

yang bisa ditanam sampai tiga kali dalam

sat tahun nah ini adalah satu-satunya

seperti harapan kita untuk bisa mengisi

cadangan pangan kita ke depan karena

kalau misalnya eh kita lihat tadi yang

panen raya pertama ini kan sendung turun

ya padahal panen raya pertama ini tuh

kontribusi terhadap total produksi

nasional dalam S tahun itu sekitar

hampir 60% jadi kalau kita pengin tahu e

kita cukup atau enggaknya cadangan

pangan kita cadangan beras ee ke depan

kita itu dilihat dari panen raya pertama

dulu nah namun ketika nanti panen ee

nanti memasuki musim tanam ketiga nah

ini adalah salah-satunya harapan kita

agar bisa meningkatkan produksi nah

sebetulnya pemerintah ini itu bisa

melakukan hal-hal mitigasi ya agar

misalnya ketika Lanina nanti itu kan ada

potensi untuk banjir serangan hama ya

Nah ini harus dimitigasi dengan berbagai

macam cara misalnya dimulai dari hal-hal

budidayanya penggunaan varietas yang

tahan ee banjir terus juga tahan hama

penyakit dan lain-lainnya itu kan

hal-hal yang harus dilakukan oleh

pemerintah ee mereka bergeril ya gitu di

lapangan untuk mensosialisasikannya

kepada petani lewat penyulu jadi memang

ini yang harus dilakukan oleh pemerintah

ke depan
