Jakarta (B2B) - Menteri Pertanian RI Andi Amran Sulaiman menegaskan bahwa harga daging sapi di Pasar Bendungan Hilir (Benhil) Jakarta Pusat kini sudah di bawah Rp80.000 sesuai harapan Presiden RI Joko Widodo, meski dia mengakui hal itu belum dinikmati seluruh konsumen karena perlu waktu untuk mendistribusikan daging murah berkualitas ke seluruh Indonesia.

"Harga di bawah Rp80 ribu itu masih di Bendungan Hilir, konsumen tampak puas meski antrianya panjang dari pagi sampai sore," kata Mentan Amran Sulaiman usai bertemu Presiden Jokowi di Kantor Kepresidenan di Jakarta pada Senin (6/6).

Dia mengakui harga daging di bawah Rp80.000 belum dinikmati seluruh rakyat, karena memang butuh waktu untuk mendistribusikan daging murah, sekaligus mengubah struktur pasar yang kerap memanfaatkan bulan puasa dan Idul Fitri untuk mencari keuntungan dengan membebani konsumen.

"Ini butuh waktu tapi sesuai harapan Presiden Jokowi secara bertahap sudah ada hasil, meski di daerah lain harga daging sapi masih di atas Rp80 ribu," kata Mentan.

Menurutnya untuk stabilisasi harga daging sapi selama Ramadan hingga Lebaran, pemerintah akan mendatangkan daging impor 27.000 ton pada pekan pertama Ramadan, dan diprioritaskan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan konsumen di Jabodetabek, "karena 70 persen kebutuhan konsumen daging sapi di sini."
