Strategi Pengembangan Usahatani Sorgum pada Lahan Kering di Kabupaten Sumba Timur

“…Sorgum juga memiliki potensi yang besar untuk dikembangkan di Indonesia karena memiliki area adaptasi yang luas. Tanaman sorgum toleran terhadap berbagai jenis lahan baik lahan dengan genangan air pada saat musim kemarau maupun lahan kering, dapat juga berproduksi di lahan marjinal dan relatif tahan terhadap penyakit (Syafruddin et al, 2017;Kambuno et al, 2021) Kabupaten Sumba Timur terpilih menjadi salah satu wilayah pengembangan sorgum di Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur. Pada awal tahun 2022 Kantor Staf Kepresidenan (KSP) bekerjasama dengan PT Sumba Moelti Agriculture (PT SMA) yang bermitra dengan petani di Kabupaten Sumba Timur mulai menginisiasi penanaman sorgum di areal seluas 60 ha.…”

Sorghum plants can also increase the country's foreign exchange earnings because sorghum can be traded internationally.…”

“…This is due to a shortage of locations that utilize sorghum for food, feed, and industrial raw materials, as well as the fact that the exploitation pattern is still the same. Some areas that have long been known and become the leading sorghum producers in Indonesia are Central Java, West Nusa Tenggara and East Nusa Tenggara (Syafruddin et al, 2015). The slow development of sorghum until now is indicated by data on the development of national sorghum production, which has not been included in agricultural statistics, indicating that this commodity has not received priority for development (Luna & Widowati, 2010).…”
