Grain brokers PROFIT poor farmers
Season rice harvest this time
marked a tragic story. Imagine,
the workers' DEREP "in Ngawi
NGAPLO certainly not going to
be able to earn a fortune because
almost all the rice acreage in the
hands of Ngawi nyemplung
Pengijon (middlemen) from
outside the area that carries its
own power Ngawi borong harvest.
Sights like that's what happened
in the village of Teguhan, District
anvil on lately. The farm workers
when they entered the rice harvest season arrives hopes to receive additional provision
may have their minds, with a scramble derepan (harvest-red) rice belongs to the
people around him but when it comes penebas grain or middleman can be a
frightening specter for farm laborers. How unusual the middlemen would buy grain
that still exist disawah by bringing workers pembabat (harvester-ed) from their
respective regions, according to the origin of the brokers themselves.
As told family Saiman, 50 th, the local village residents admitted for the current
season rice harvest derep the likely result of not less than 2 quintals of grain only.
Whereas in the previous year's harvest season Saiman is assisted by two members of
his family was able to collect the grain of not less than five quintals more. "Reduced
derepan current results clearly triggered from the penebas which resulted in me and
my family can no longer fight over land owned by farmers' rice to be harvested here,"
complained Saiman, Tuesday (18/10). The perceived grievances of the peasants differ
much with the grain traders, as happened in the field since the farmers to sell rice
paddies that are still there diareal clearly would benefit. Because the middlemen can
choose the grain directly dilahan with good quality while the bad quality in general
they left behind. Here's the bad quality of the land for agricultural laborers derepan.
As recognition Sucipto, 45 th, one of the brokers of these middlemen bluntly get to
choose who will dipanenya quality rice. Although he had to buy to farmers in an area
of speculation with menghituang rice acreage. "We bought an existing grain disawah
approximate formula was wearing only a matter of half an acre with an area of let's
say if we buy at a price that is rather more what are not we lucky, yes lucky if we
directly buy and we harvest," explained Sucipto. Then go Sucipto, for this season's
rice harvest time price fluctuations or up and down depending on market price
developments. It turned out that no matter what the profit is also true for rice farmers
land owners themselves. Hariyanto, 43 th, a farmer from the village Teguhan admitted
for the price of grain when it's arguably a bit better than the previous season. "The
price of rice per kilo at the beginning of the harvest unit was penetrated above the
price of four thousand dollars, but after that the price of getting sagging but still quite
good," said Hariyanto. (Pr)
