Policarpus Ukumu (24), a Bade resident is tapping rubber. Rubber is the main source of farmers in Bade, Edera District, Mappi Regency, Papua Province. Unfortunately the price of rubber from farmers was only bought by the middle men for Rp 6000 / kg, making rubber farmers in Bade not enthusiastic about tapping rubber. They turned to hunting and fishing in the Digul River. Farmers hope that the local government adopts a policy to improve the price of rubber which previously reached Rp. 25,000 / kg. - JP / Nethy Dharma Somba / Adi / 19

Policarpus Ukumu (24) warga Bade sedang menyadap karet. Karet adalah sumber utama petani di Bade, Distrik Edera, Kabupaten Mappi, Provinsi Papua. Sayangnya harga karet petani hanya dibeli oleh tengkulaj seharga Rp 6000/kg, membuat petani karet di Bade tidak antusias menyadap karet. Mereka beralih pada kegiatan berburu dan mencari ikan di Sungai Digul. Petani berharap pemerintah setempat menempuh kebijakan untuk memperbaiki harga karet yang sebelumnya mencapai Rp 25.000/kg. - JP/Nethy Dharma Somba/Adi/19
