        "summary": "Farmers in Indramayu Regency are beginning the harvest for the 2025\/2026 rendeng planting season, benefiting from paddy prices exceeding the government's purchase price (HPP) of Rp 6,500 per kilogram, with varieties like Kebo fetching Rp 7,200 and Ciherang up to Rp 7,800. Without simultaneous harvesting due to staggered planting, prices are expected to remain high above Rp 7,000, attracting buyers from neighbouring districts such as Subang and Karawang. This trend encourages farmers to sell immediately rather than store their produce, potentially boosting local agricultural income amid favourable market conditions.",
        "content": "<p>Farmers in Indramayu Regency are entering the harvest period for the\n2025\/2026 rendeng planting season. They can now enjoy high paddy prices\nabove the government\u2019s purchase price (HPP). Chairman of the Farmers and\nFishermen\u2019s Contact Network (KTNA) in Indramayu Regency, Sutatang,\nstated that harvesting is currently underway in several areas, including\nGantar, Haurgeulis, Kroya, Gabuswetan, Terisi, Pasekan sub-districts, as\nwell as parts of Anjatan and Bongas sub-districts. Sutatang noted that\nin this early harvest phase, farmers can benefit from high paddy prices.\nFor instance, Kebo variety paddy is priced at Rp 7,200 per kilogram at\nthe farmer level, while Ciherang and similar varieties range from Rp\n7,500 to Rp 7,800 per kilogram. \u201cThe price is above the GKP (harvested\ndry paddy) HPP of Rp 6,500 per kilogram,\u201d Sutatang told Republika on\nTuesday (14\/4\/2026). Sutatang predicted that paddy prices will continue\nto rise even as the harvested area expands, since there is no\nsimultaneous harvest in this rendeng planting season due to\nnon-synchronous planting times. \u201cThis year, there is no simultaneous\nharvest. So, the GKP paddy price is likely to stay above Rp 7,000 per\nkilogram,\u201d he said. Sutatang added that farmers who are harvesting are\nchoosing to sell their paddy immediately rather than storing it. He\nmentioned that, besides local buyers in Indramayu, farmers\u2019 paddy is\nalso being sought after by buyers from outside the area. \u201cBuyers are\ncoming in from Subang and Karawang Regencies,\u201d Sutatang emphasised.<\/p>",
