Quiet Rubber Gardens. Policarpus Ukumu (24), one of hundreds of rubber farmers in Bade, Edera District, Mappi Regency is tapping rubber latex to be shown to journalists who visited the District last week. Rubber farmers since three months ago in the district stopped their activities due to the drop in rubber selling price of Rp 6000 / kg. The rubber plantation became quiet, there were no longer young and old men who tapped rubber. The Mappi Regency Government is trying to get Rubber investors to help farmers so that their rubber sap, which is the main source of the family's economy, can be sold. - JP / Nethy Dharma Somba / Adi / 19
DESCRIPTION (ID)
Kebun Karet yang sepi. Policarpus Ukumu (24) salah satu dari ratusan petani karet di Bade Distrik Edera Kabupaten Mappi sedang menyadap getah karet untuk diperlihatkan kepada jurnalis yang berkunjung ke Distrik tersebut pekan lalu. Petani karet sejak tiga bulan lalu di distrik tersebut menghentikan aktifitasnya karena anjloknya harga jual karet yaitu Rp 6000/kg. Kebun karet jadi sepi, tidak ada lagi laki-laki tua muda anak-anak yang menyadap karet. Pemerintah Kabupaten Mappi mengusahakan investor Karet untuk membantu petani agar getah karet mereka yang merupakan sumber utama ekonomi keluarga bisa laku terjual. - JP/Nethy Dharma Somba/Adi/19
