Fertiliser stocks secure in three rice barn regions in West Java

Karawang (ANTARA) - Subsidised fertiliser stocks in three rice barn regions in West Java Province are secure as they enter the gadu planting season or Second Planting Season, coinciding with the El Niño phenomenon.

Company Secretary of PT Pupuk Kujang, Ade Cahya Kurniawan, in Karawang on Monday, stated that overall fertiliser stocks in the West Java region are safe, particularly in the three rice barn areas comprising Indramayu, Karawang, and Subang.

Currently, subsidised fertiliser stocks in West Java reach 26,278.9 tonnes, consisting of 22,963.8 tonnes of urea fertiliser, 1,817 tonnes of NPK, and 2,657 tonnes of organic fertiliser.

He mentioned that the entire stock is the total inventory stored in line 1 and line 3 warehouses, recorded in a real-time digital monitoring system.

According to him, these fertiliser stocks are prepared across all PT Pupuk Kujang distribution areas, including national rice barn regions such as Indramayu, Karawang, and Subang.

Subsidised urea fertiliser stocks in Karawang Regency reach 827.3 tonnes and NPK 334.5 tonnes, stored in several buffer warehouses in the Karawang area.

In Indramayu Regency, subsidised urea fertiliser stocks reach 2,728 tonnes, or 316.8 per cent of the minimum requirement.

“Subsidised fertiliser stocks in Indramayu are prepared in buffer warehouses such as in Jatibarang, Sukra, and Kandanghaur,” said Ade.

He conveyed that PT Pupuk Kujang, as a fertiliser producer, continues to maintain factory reliability and operational stability by continuously optimising production performance to ensure fertiliser availability for farmers.
