Coordinating Minister Zulhas: Subsidized Fertilizer Distribution in Aceh Smooth, Farmers Optimistic
Coordinating Minister for Food Zulkifli Hasan said that the distribution of subsidized fertilizers in Aceh Province is running smoothly and having a positive impact on the agricultural sector. "Alhamdulillah, the farmers are happy, the fertilizer flow is smooth, our production is up," he said at the "Rembuk Tani Pupuk Indonesia" event in Aceh Besar, Saturday (6/13).
Coordinating Minister Zulhas explained that this success is supported by the government's quick steps in restoring agricultural land affected by floods and landslides. The President also gave specific directions so that fertilizer distribution doesn't experience any delays, and various policy simplifications have made access easier for farmers.
In addition, the government lowered the Maximum Retail Price (HET) of subsidized fertilizers by up to 20 percent thanks to Pupuk Indonesia's performance efficiency. Nationally, as of June 11, 2026, Pupuk Indonesia has distributed 4.37 million tons or 44.4 percent of the total allocation, while in Aceh Besar it reached 9,361 tons or 42 percent of the 22,472 ton allocation.
Pupuk Indonesia also prepared a national stock of 831,297 tons as of June 12, 2026 to support optimal absorption. It is hoped that with smooth distribution and affordable prices, farmers' welfare will continue to improve.
