ARB INdonesia, INDRAGIRI HILIR – Forest and land fires are the attention of the national government even to the international level. For that matter, all law enforcers are instructed to follow up on environmental crimes of land burning.

Forest and land fires in the Land of the World Coconut Expansion finally dragged small farmers on behalf of Kamarek who is 60 years old. At the age of his weapon, he was dragged into the law until he was sentenced to 6 years in prison with a fine of 3 billion.

For this matter, the Kamarek Care Movement (GEMPAR) held a demonstration in front of the Tembilahan District Court office, Indragiri Hilir Regency (Inhil) – Riau, Thursday (2/27/2020).

With hundreds of presentations present at the time, the action period demanded that Kamarek be immediately released. Because according to the assessment of the mass action the Tembilahan District Court decision was judged to be legally flawed.

This was proven by the statement of three witnesses presented by the Public Prosecutor at the hearing that testified that the one who burned the land was not Kamarek, and Kamarek was not the owner of the land, but he was only a worker as H Pewa’s subordinate.

“But why was the chamber arrested. This is a form of criminalization of farmers who are weak communities,” said the Gempar Korlap, Anawawik when giving speeches in front of the Tembilahan District Court Office.

He also said, to this day none of the corporations or companies operating in Inhil have been accused and convicted of alleged land burning.

“Today, a small community is being celebrated, while Grandfather Kamarek is in the company environment. Why isn’t the company being dealt with,” Anawawik said.

Responding to this, Inhil Police Chief AKBP Indra Duaman Siahaan when asked about the alleged small community that was criminalized to cover up corporate environmental crime.

AKBP Indra Duaman Siahaan brushed aside this. Because so far from the results of investigations conducted by the police in several Criminal Event Places (TKP) that occurred, no corporate land has been found on fire.

“Oh, it’s not there, so far from the several crime scenes we went to and we conducted an investigation there, there are indeed suspects there are still people. For corporate land that was burned there has not been covered,” Said the Police Chief when interviewed after Gempar held a peaceful protest on Thursday (27 / 2/2020). (Arb)

ARB INdonesia – President of the Republic of Indonesia, Joko Widodo (Jokowi) wants to close the export of several commodities in Indonesia, one of which is copra export. Because according to him, copra can be processed into a substitute for Aviation Turbine (Avtur) fuel.

Avtur is a type of aviation fuel that is designed to be used on airplanes powered by gas turbines. Copra is dried coconut meat, this commodity is exported to several countries such as India, Thailand and the Philippines.

“Coconut oil copra can become Avtur. This research is almost complete, “said Jokowi in the 47th PDI Perjuangan anniversary event at JIExpo in Jakarta, Friday (10/1/2020).

The President of the Republic of Indonesia said, If the results of the research had already come out, he wanted to replace all aircraft fuel with copra owned by farmers in the country.

“This step is aimed at realizing a self-reliant Indonesia in the economic field, such as the message of Indonesia’s first President Sukarno. We will be independent and do it ourselves,” Jokowi said.

Besides copra, Jokowi also plans to close exports of several commodities such as bauxite and coal.

“However, the closing of the export tap will be carried out in stages,” he added.

As is known, Referring to businesswire.com, Indonesia is the largest volume of coconut producer in the world. Indonesia is capable of producing 19 million tons of coconut in 2018, while the Philippines and India produce 14 million and 12 million tons respectively.

In addition, Indonesia is also the world’s largest coconut exporter. In 2018, Indonesia exported 290 thousand tons or 52% of the total coconut exports.

On one hand, Transportation Minister Budi Karya Sumadi said, the government was studying ways to balance Avtur prices so that plane ticket fares would be more affordable, especially before Christmas and the New Year 2020. Moreover, avtur prices in eastern and western Indonesia were different.

“Avtur causes 40% increase in ticket prices. Therefore, Avtur prices will be looked for a way out by balancing (rebalancing) prices,” said Transportation Minister Budi Karya Sumadi at the end of last year (2/12/2019).

Based on Pertamina’s data in February 2019, the price of aviation fuel in eastern Indonesia averaged over Rp 10,000 per liter. Even the price of aviation fuel for Deo Airport (Sorong), Papua for Jet A-1 types reached Rp 11,080 per liter (77.4 US cents per liter).

The price is 34.9% higher than the price of Avtur at Soekarno Hatta Airport (Jakarta) Rp 8,210 / liter.
