Mathius Yame (30) Rubber farmers in Bade, Edera District, Mappi Regency, Papua, collect freshly tapped gum, which is then processed into raw rubber. Unfortunately the price of rubber which is only Rp. 6000 / kg, fades the enthusiasm of farmers in Bade to routinely tap rubber. They turned to hunting and fishing in the Digul River. Farmers hopes that the regional government finds a solution for the selling price of rubber so that the family's economy can be stable again. - JP / Nethy Dharma Somba / Adi / 19
DESCRIPTION (ID)
Mathius Yame (30) Petani karet di Bade, Distrik Edera, Kabupaten Mappi Papua, mengumpulkan getah karet yang baru disadap, selanjutnya diproses menjadi karet mentah. Sayangnya harga karet yang hanya Rp 6000/kg, memudarkan semangat petani di Bade untuk rutin menyadap karet. Mereka beralih pada kegiatan berburu dan mencari ikan di Sungai Digul. Petani berharap pemerintah daerah mencarikan solusi untuk harga jual karet agar ekonomi keluarga bisa stabil kembali. - JP/Nethy Dharma Somba/Adi/19
