Chilli
The price of chilli was Rp 100,000 a kilogram back in January. These days it's Rp 1000 a kilogram. It's not easy being a farmer. We need a better policy to sustain our farming industry and protect our consumers.

The price of Chilli collapsing?! Strange. Really strange. And a disaster for farmers depending on them for a living.
Do other farmer products also get dramatically cheaper? Or is it specifically a Chilli problem?
These facts run against all expectations. For months now I read and hear warnings about food prices ( structurally) getting sky high worldwide.Some analysts even told us that may even have been one of the main causes for the Arab uprisings.
Anyhow chilli farmers face difficult times indeed.
I agree that the government should have a pro farmer agriculture policy especially that it is difficult to predict the weather today.
Farmers need a better information service so that they can plan their crop, sell for a good price and learn about the newest trend & tech. Plus a good reliable transportation is a must.
