Pupuk Indonesia optimises subsidized fertiliser redemption in Takalar
PT Pupuk Indonesia (Persero) continues to bolster support for the agricultural sector by optimising the distribution of subsidised fertiliser and strengthening synergy with farmers in Takalar Regency, South Sulawesi, ahead of the third planting season.
These efforts are being carried out through the ‘Rembuk Tani’ and ‘Joint Redemption of Subsidised Fertiliser’ activities in Takalar Regency, which bring together Pupuk Indonesia with local governments, agricultural extension officers, distribution businesses (PUD), fertiliser delivery points (PPTS), and farmers to strengthen coordination and discuss field-level agricultural needs.
“Pupuk Indonesia continues to strive to ensure that subsidised fertiliser is available and distributed to eligible farmers in accordance with the allocation and provisions established by the government,” said the Director of Asset Management at PT Puplag Indonesia, Tri Wahyudi Saleh, in a statement from Makassar on Friday.
He stated that Pupuk Indonesia is committed to ensuring that subsidised fertiliser is available and distributed to farmers according to the ‘7 Right’ principle, which includes being right in type, quantity, price, time, place, quality, and target.
Tri added that support for farmers is provided not only through fertiliser supply but also through enhanced coordination with local governments, extension officers, distribution businesses (PUD), and fertiliser delivery points (PPTS). He noted that effective communication helps identify needs and obstacles early so they can be addressed collectively.
“Therefore, collaboration among all parties must continue to be strengthened so that the distribution process runs optimally and farmers’ needs can be met,” said Tri.
Based on data as of 15 September 2026, the realisation of subsidised fertiliser distribution in Takalar Regency has reached 17,167 tonnes, or 58 per cent of the 29,776-tonne allocation. Out of a total of 29,068 farmers registered in the e-RDKK, 18,313 farmers, or 63 per cent, have completed their redemptions.
Pupuk Indonesia also ensures the availability of subsidised fertiliser in the region. As of 16 September 2026, the stock of subsidised fertiliser in Takalar Regency was recorded at 2,042 tonnes, available through official PPTS of PT Pupuk Indonesia (Persero) in accordance with applicable allocations and regulations.
Regional CEO 4 of PT Pupuk Indonesia, Wisnu Ramadhani, stated that the smooth distribution of subsidised fertiliser requires strong synergy from upstream to downstream, including the active role of local governments, extension officers, PUD, PPTS, and farmers.
“We continue to encourage the entire fertiliser distribution ecosystem to operate optimally. Not only ensuring the availability of fertiliser, but also ensuring the distribution process follows regulations and is accessible to farmers with allocations. Synergy with all stakeholders is key to maintaining this smoothness,” said Wisnu.
According to Wisnu, entering the third planting season serves as a momentum for all parties to increase coordination and ensure farmers’ needs are prepared in advance.
“We hope the established coordination can continue to be strengthened, so that various needs or obstacles in the field can be communicated and addressed immediately. Thus, farmers can carry out their cultivation activities with the support of available fertiliser according to their needs and allocation,” added Wisnu.
In addition to ensuring fertiliser availability, Pupuk Indonesia is continuously undertaking various optimisation efforts for distribution in South Sulawesi, including strengthening stock resilience at official PPTS, education and assistance programmes, as well as regular coordination and evaluation with regional stakeholders.
Through these various efforts, Pupuk Indonesia is committed to continuously improving service quality and ensuring that the distribution of subsidised fertiliser proceeds according to regulations.
This support is expected to assist farmers in preparing for the third planting season, while simultaneously supporting the sustainability of agricultural productivity in Takalar Regency and South Sulawesi.
