PT Pupuk Indonesia (Persero), in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture (Kementan), held a Socialization Event for the Distribution of Subsidized Organic Fertilizer in Mataram City, West Nusa Tenggara Province (NTB). This initiative aims to accelerate the absorption of subsidized fertilizer while strengthening transparent, accountable, and targeted distribution governance in preparation for the implementation of the 2026 electronic Definitive Plan for Group Needs (e-RDKK).

Finance and General Affairs Director of PT Petrokimia Gresik, Adityo Wibowo, stated that the Pupuk Indonesia Group is ready to support the implementation of e-RDKK 2026 to make the management of subsidized fertilizers more transparent, accountable, and efficient.

“We understand that the success of this program can only be achieved through intensive communication, solid coordination, and a spirit of collaboration. Pupuk Indonesia Group is fully committed to supporting this effort,” Adityo stated.

Pupuk Indonesia Group fully supports the national food security program, which is one of President Prabowo Subianto’s Asta Cita priorities. One of its efforts includes ensuring the availability of subsidized fertilizers, including the organic fertilizer Petroganik. According to Adityo, Petroganik — the subsidized organic fertilizer — plays an important role in maintaining soil fertility, improving land structure, increasing fertilizer efficiency, and supporting the sustainability of agricultural ecosystems.

Therefore, Adityo emphasized that cross-agency collaboration is essential to ensure optimal absorption of subsidized fertilizers, including organic ones, in the field. This strategy ensures equitable dissemination of information, fertilization education, and redemption monitoring at official kiosks — now referred to as Distribution Handover Points (PPTS) — including in East Lombok Regency.

Director of Fertilizer at the Ministry of Agriculture, Jekvy Hendra, stressed that optimizing the distribution of subsidized fertilizers requires accurate data. Therefore, he called on all stakeholders to contribute to the success of the 2026 e-RDKK program.

“Our presence here is to provide understanding to everyone involved. When inputting RDKK data, all farmer groups must be gathered — not just individuals. The verification should be done collectively to ensure the land is suitable. Selective verification must be done before data is entered into the RDKK system,” said Jekvy.

On the same occasion, Sri Pujiati, Head of the Subsidized Fertilizer Working Group at the Directorate General of Agricultural Infrastructure and Facilities (Ditjen PSP), Ministry of Agriculture, urged all farmers, farmer groups, and agricultural extension officers in West Nusa Tenggara Province to support the success of e-RDKK 2026 by inputting accurate data in accordance with Minister of Agriculture Regulation (Permentan) No. 15 of 2025.

“In the data collection process, let’s ensure that everything reflects the real conditions in the field. RDKK data must not misrepresent actual needs. For instance, if a plot of land relies on rain and can only be harvested once a year, then list only one planting season. Do not force it to be three planting seasons if that is not the reality. With accurate data, fertilizer planning and distribution will be more precise and meet farmers’ needs,” she explained.

Sri further assured farmers not to worry if they have input their fertilizer needs into the RDKK accurately. She emphasized that RDKK submissions can be made during the current year, as stipulated in Permentan No. 15 of 2025.

Pupuk Indonesia Provides 44,642 Tons of Subsidized Fertilizer in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB)

To meet farmers’ needs, Senior Manager (SM) of Region 3B at Pupuk Indonesia, Sidharta, announced that the company has prepared 44,642 tons of subsidized fertilizer stock in Line III warehouses across NTB Province, ready for farmer redemption according to regulations. The subsidized fertilizer stock includes 30,566 tons of Urea, 12,427 tons of NPK, 521 tons of Special Formula NPK (for cocoa), and 1,040 tons of Organic fertilizer.

In terms of distribution, Pupuk Indonesia has successfully delivered 236,172 tons of subsidized fertilizer in NTB. Specifically, the realization of subsidized fertilizer distribution in East Lombok Regency has reached 37,072 tons, or 57% of the allocated amount. This includes 20,909 tons of Urea, 14,076 tons of NPK Phonska, 5 tons of Special Formula NPK for Cocoa, and 2,082 tons of Organic fertilizer.

“Urea fertilizer continues to dominate absorption with consistent distribution to support the needs of primary food crops. NPK Phonska serves as a key pillar in supporting rice and corn productivity, with stable distribution and sufficient stock in Line III warehouses. Although the volume of Special Formula NPK for Cocoa is smaller, it is still distributed according to the needs of cocoa-producing regions to help maintain cocoa production quality,” Sidharta concluded.
