INSIGHT

Government’s Response in Sustaining Agriculture Supply Chain

Since the outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was reported to have spread to Indonesia on 2 March

2020, it has caused an impact on various levels of the economy and including the financial system in

Indonesia. In agricultural sector, the full impact on food security hasn’t known yet but the seen one is the

disruption along the food supply chain, from farmers to consumers.

As currently (April-May 2020) there is a bumper harvest, the supply is ensured to be sufficient at least until

August 2020. To anticipate the price fluctuation, Government of Indonesia enacts regulation to regulate the

price on rice through Peraturan Kementrian Perdagangan (Permendag) No.24/ 2020 that effective per 16

March 2020. In tackling the distribution issue, Government of Indonesia through Ministry of Agriculture, builds

synergy with rice mills and online marketplace as well as startups (such as Tani Supply Indonesia, Blibli,

Grab and Gojek) which expectantly absorb the commodities surplus.

Transport restrictions and quarantine measures will likely impede access to agriculture input and output

markets which also put agri-kiosks and traders at risk, curbing productive capacities and denying a point of

sale for produce. Shortages of labour potentially disrupt production and processing of food, notably for labour-

intensive crops.

Thus, to ensure the inventory and supply, distribution, and price of food commodities post-harvest,

Government of Indonesia is also preparing the policy in agricultural sector to ensure food security during the

pandemic for the next season. The policy will include planting incentive which will be announced further by

Ministry of Agriculture. The Government of Indonesia also urges the disbursement of special Kredit Usaha

Rakyat (KUR) for agriculture to be more optimum.

As previously announced, Government of Indonesia also enacts Peraturan Pemerintah Pengganti Undang-

Undang (PERPU) No.1/2020 regarding State Financial Policy and Financial System Stability for Handling

Corona Virus Disease (Covid-19) , which includes tax relaxation, credit restructuring, and KUR stimulus for

several sectors impacted by Covid-19, involved agriculture sector as efforts to restore and strengthen the

food system that become one of priority during the pandemic.
