Banjarmasin, S Kalimantan (Antaranews Kalsel) - Head of Bank Indonesia (BI) in South Kalimantan Herawanto said chili and freshwater fish are among commodities that are still the main source of inflation in the province.
So, said Herawanto, strategic efforts are needed to overcome this problem, among others by increasing the production of the two commodities by all parties involved.
To encourage production increasing of these two commodities, BI has opened a production development area of commodities contributing to inflation in the Rumah Pangan Lestari (RPL) or Sustainable Food House in Landasan Ulin, Banjarbaru.
The RPL area of 800 m2, mostly planted with chili and vegetables, is also used for the development of fish farming using the bioflog system.
The RPL is expected to be a location can be used as a learning tool for the community, who wish to develop various food crops in the area.
The RPL is managed by temporary employees, who work within the scope of Bank Indonesia, whose results are to meet the needs of BI employees.
"So the plants are developed, the results are sold to BI employees, thus it can be used for additional income for temporary employees," he said.
