Warta, 52, waters his crop of corn on Thursday (12/10) in a field in Gebang, Cirebon regency, West Java. Shallots are usually grown in the field, but some farmers have replaced the crop with corn in response to the falling shallot prices.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS — The government is trying to deal with the falling shallot price. The Trade Ministry, via its directorate general of domestic trade, has asked relevant state-owned companies to purchase the farmer’s shallots through a business mechanism.

Director general of domestic trade Tjahya Widayanti said on Thursday (12/10) that the trade ministry had asked PT Perusahaan Perdagangan Indonesia (PPI) to buy farmers’ shallots. The buying price rests with PT PPI or it can be determined through a business to business (B2B) format.
