Rancakmedia.com – Maintaining sugar availability, the balance of raw materials must be regularly assessed. The presence of a commodity balance which can later become the basis for the fulfillment of industrial raw materials in Indonesia must be evaluated periodically.

This assessment is needed to ensure correct data along with new knowledge in the field. Chairman of the Cross Forum of Refined Sugar User Industry Associations (FLAIFGR) Dwiatmoko Setiono explained that the idea of ​​building a raw material balance is indeed good. However, it is important to have correct raw material data.

Maintaining the availability of sugar and balance of raw materials. "Before we make a balance sheet, we need to determine how high the opening and closing shares are," he said rancakmedia.com, Thursday (15/4). According to him, all supporting needs such as ministries or agencies, including economic actors, must approve the original data that will be used for commodity balances.

Maintain sugar availability. What's more, Indonesia is currently still facing incorrect data. The data listed on paper often differs from the evidence in the field. Apart from data suitability, knowledge of acquisition and research systems is no less important.

According to him, creating a commodity balance sheet requires an integrated statistical system so that it can produce uniform data. Therefore, the honesty of everyone who participates is important to create a reliable and accurate inventory of goods. "It is possible that the inventory data for goods was created for the needs of several factions," said Dwiatmoko.

He gave an example, since 2010 the industry can no longer import raw sugar due to import limitation regulations. Conceptually, this regulation is quite good, even though it actually encourages economic actors to carry out naughty acts in this section.

Indonesia itself was once the second largest sugar exporting country in the world. Unfortunately, with the demand for sugar increasing every year, we cannot solve the problems of farmer welfare and advance production technology. Various import limitations make investors reluctant to invest in Indonesia.

Dwiatmoko explained that if you want to increase the quantity and quality of domestic sugar, there are many things that are important to implement. These include increasing the productivity (yield) of sugar cane and seed plantations for farmers and updating machinery and technology in sugar factories. "Sugar imports will not be pressed if this is not implemented," said Dwiatmoko.

Atong Soekirman, Deputy for Industrial Improvement at the Coordinating Ministry for the Economic Sector, expressed a similar sentiment. According to him, in accordance with Government Regulation (PP) Number 28 of 2021 concerning the administration of the industrial sector, regulation of commodity balances must be able to guarantee business security.
