Parliament Commission VI to Summon Agrinas over Import of 105,000 Pickup Trucks from India
Jakarta – Commission VI of the House of Representatives (DPR) plans to summon PT Agrinas Pangan Nusantara to seek clarification regarding the proposed procurement of 105,000 pickup trucks from India for operational use by the Village Red-White Cooperative (Koperasi Desa Merah Putih).
DPR Commission VI member Herman Khaeron stated that the summons will be issued after the parliamentary recess concludes on 9 March 2026.
“Once something becomes a public issue, Commission VI is obligated to summon the company and request clarification and explanation about what is happening,” Herman told reporters at the Parliament Complex in Senayan, Central Jakarta, on Friday, 27 February 2026.
Herman noted that during a working meeting (raker) with PT Agrinas some time ago, the company indicated there was no budgetary allocation for importing vehicles. PT Agrinas merely presented plans to supplement transportation assets without providing clear detail.
“Agrinas Pangan Nusantara previously gave a presentation and held a hearing with us regarding budgetary allocation for each village amounting to Rp3 billion,” he said.
“The first allocation was naturally for constructing a building valued at Rp1.6 billion, followed by Rp500 million for working capital. The remainder was for supplementing infrastructure and facilities, including transportation assets. Agrinas never specified what type of vehicles or their specifications,” he added.
Herman said the DPR was shocked upon learning that PT Agrinas intended to import 105,000 pickup trucks from India with a budget reaching Rp24.66 trillion.
According to him, the figure is substantial. Herman stated that PT Agrinas should have communicated with Commission VI beforehand regarding such plans.
“This is a very large budget. It should have been discussed first in the DPR, and to uphold the principles of transparency and state financial accountability, it should also be open to the public,” he concluded.
