Padang (Rifyu.com) – Member of Commission IV DPR RI Hermanto asked the Committee for the National Week (Penas) for the XVI Year 2023 Mainstay Farmers and Fishermen Group (KTNA) to be held in Padang City, West Sumatra, to make proper preparations for the success of this activity.
“We ask the relevant parties to work swiftly and skillfully to prepare everything for the smooth running of the Penas Tani-Fishermen,” he said, in Padang, Thursday.
He asked the committee to coordinate with related parties in order to make optimal preparations so that the implementation of this event was a success.
“West Sumatra is entrusted with holding this national activity. This trust should not be wasted,” he said.
Especially regarding technology degrees, he asked the committee to present a variety of low-cost advanced agricultural technologies.
According to him, a variety of agricultural technologies are needed to achieve food sovereignty, even though the majority of farmers are classified as economically weak.
“Therefore the solution to this problem is low-cost technology that can be reached by the purchasing power of farmers,” he said.
He said that Penas KTNA XVI would be held in Padang, June 10-15 2023. It is estimated that this activity will be attended by 40,000 participants from all over Indonesia.
Previously, preparations for holding the 2023 XVI Mainstay Farmer and Fishermen Group (KTNA) National Week (Penas) in West Sumatra were constrained by the supply of electricity and the availability of toilets at the event location.
“Problems with the supply of electricity in the field must be immediately coordinated with PLN to find a solution immediately,” said W Sumatra Governor Mahyeldi.
According to him, electricity has become one of the fundamental needs in organizing the 2023 KTNA Penas so that problems related to the need for electric power must have a solution immediately.
“If a budget is needed for electricity, we will find a way out,” he said.
Apart from electricity, he said, there are still a number of things that until now have not been clarified and who is responsible for them, such as guest parking locations, “mobile toilets”, harvest demonstration plots, and several other things.

The Municipal Government of Padang has allocated a budget of IDR 6 billion for the implementation of the 2023 Fishermen Farmers Training Center to prepare locations, security, art events, exhibitions, guest services, and health services.
He said that the houses would be occupied by 35,459 participants of the XVI Farmers and Fishermen’s Training Program consisting of the main participants, companion participants, and observer participants.
According to him, all the activities of Fishermen Farmer Penas XVI 2023 will be centered at the Sutan Sjahrir Tabing Lanud, located about 10 kilometers from the city center with an area of 84.20 hectares.
“Sutan Sjahrir Airfield was chosen because of its wide and quite strategic location, including the use of the runway for exhibitions,” he said.
