El Nino turns the page on the story of farmers who 'ngupoyo upo'. Food security guards face many risks and sacrifices to serve rice to other people, even on their own plates.
The expanse of rice fields appears dry and barren in Wonokerso Village, Kedawung district, Sragen Regency, Central Java, on Thursday afternoon. The soil is no longer loose and the terrain feels hard. Visible cracks appear scattered in various areas. The remains of the paddy harvest from the second planting season are left stuck in the barren fields.
To meet daily food needs alone, Wagiyo is struggling. Not to mention to make an electric pump-based borehole. It's heartbreaking. Wagiyo is aware that drought is always a perennial problem. He hopes that in the future there will be assistance in the form of electric pump-based bore wells for farmers. However, he is reluctant if the aid is only for him. He wants the well that will be built to irrigate his fellow farmers' fields as well.
Jelani admitted to daringly planting rice in MT III due to the high price of dry harvest paddy . Currently, the GKP price at the farmer level has reached Rp 7,000- Rp 7,600 per kilogram. Previously , the GKP price was around Rp 5,000- Rp 5,500 per kilogram. "If it is not used for other village purposes and when the rain starts to occur, I think the water is sufficient to irrigate the rice fields until the harvest season," said Jelani.The harvest is still available, the price of GKP has reached more than IDR 7,000 per kilogramA number of laborers in the farming industry are cultivating rice on a paddy field in the Gintung area of Ciwaringin, Cirebon, West Java, on Wednesday .
