Jakarta. Pupuk Indonesia recently announced that it had prepared at least 1,936,505 tons of fertilizers to meet the farmers' needs ahead of the planting season.

The state-owned fertilizer company reported that the distribution of the subsidized fertilizers has risen by 14% year-on-year (yoy). The company ascribed the growth to better governance in distribution. The Prabowo Subianto administration has simplified the fertilizer distribution process.

Previously, the fertilizers had to pass through several stages. The company now takes responsibility up to the final delivery point, according to Pupuk Indonesia's VP of Sales Planning and PSO Billing, Anggy Fajar Maghfiroh.

Pupuk Indonesia went on to say that the national fertilizer supplies reached 1,556,278 tons of the subsidized ones. Some 380,227 tons are non-subsidized.

The details are as follows: 909,600 tons of Urea, 550,041 tons of NPK, 18,142 tons of NPK for cocoa, 8,412 tons of SP-36, 3,906 tons of ZA, and 66,176 tons of organic fertilizer.

Pupuk Indonesia’s stock of non-subsidized fertilizer comprises 325,232 tons of Urea, 20,723 tons of NPK, and 34,273 tons of ZA.

Anggy said that the current stock was enough to meet farmers' needs for the next 55 days, assuming their daily procurement rate is 28,000 tons.

To ensure availability, Pupuk Indonesia conducts daily stock monitoring, extending down to the regency-level buffer warehouses. A command center also enables the firm to track production processes, shipments, vessel locations, stock levels in each regency, as well as the farmers' actual procurement.

From January through November 10, the annual distribution of subsidized fertilizer reached approximately 7,709,711 tons, up by 14% year-on-year (yoy). According to Anggy, Indonesia's subsidized fertilizer management previously had 145 regulations before the Prabowo administration.
