Menteri Pertanian (Mentan) Amran Sulaiman mengatakan, pupuk bersubsidi tahun ini berpotensi tak akan habis terserap. Padahal, kata dia, pasokan berlebih.
Menurut Amran, kebijakan pupuk bersubsidi selama ini sudah keliru. Sama halnya dengan penanganan sektor pertanian yang tak satu komando.
Dia menceritakan, bagaimana anggaran pupuk bersubsidi dipangkas habis sampai 50% di tahun 2024 menjadi hanya 4,73 juta ton dibandingkan tahun 2018 yang mencapai 9,55 juta ton. Setelah berulangkali menyinggung pemangkasan pupuk di rapat pemerintah, hingga saat itu kemudian disetujui Presiden Joko Widodo (Jokowi), volume anggaran pupuk bersubsidi tahun 2024 ditambah menjadi 9,55 juta ton.
“Ada kekeliruan di pertanian ini akibat tidak satu komando. Salah satu contoh, pupuk bersubsidi kemarin tidak tersedia 50%. Pupuk untung Rp6 triliun, pegawainya untung nggak masalah, tapi petani seluruh Indonesia teriak,” katanya saat Rapat Kerja dengan Komisi IV DPR, Selasa (5/11/2024).
“Sekarang sudah ditambah 100%, sekarang terserap sudah 60%, suda nggak masalah. Tapi, ada kekeliruan. Dalam APBN, anggaran pupuk itu dalam rupiah, dolar, bukan quantum. Tanaman itu butuh quantum. Kelihatan sepele, tapi bikin masalah besar bagi pertanian,” tukasnya.
Akibat kesalahan 1 kata di dalam penganggaran pupuk bersubsidi itu, kata dia, efeknya menghancurkan petani di Indonesia.
“Begitu perang Ukraina-Rusia, bahan baku (pupuk) langsung naik 200%. Sehingga yang dikurangi pupuknya jadi 4,7 juta ton. Kami sampaikan ini 5 kali dalam rapat, ini masalah. Alhamdulilah sudah terselesaikan,” sebutnya.
“Sekarang pupuk berlebih, tapi nggak akan terserap sampai akhir tahun. Karena baru Juni-Juli terdistribusi. PIHC ada di BUMN, kami nggak bisa intervensi. Tapi kerjanya pertanian.,” cetus Amran.
Belum lagi, imbuh dia, setelah berproduksi petani membutuhkan pembeli. Dalam hal ini, Perum Bulog menjadi offtaker. Namun lagi-lagi, Bulog adalah BUMN, sehingga dia mengaku tak bisa intervensi.
“Sehingga ke depan, ada pemikiran pertanian ini 1 komando di Menteri Pertanian yang akan bertanggung jawab. Jadi kalau ada apa-apa Menterinya yang diganti, karena 1 komando itu,” kata Amran.
Balanset-1A: Revolutionary Portable Balancer & Vibration Analyzer
Next-generation Dynamic Balancing Solution
Balanset-1A represents an advanced solution for dynamic balancing of rotors in their own bearings, engineered by Estonian company Vibromera OU. The device offers professional equipment balancing at €1,751, which is 3-10 times more affordable than traditional vibration analyzers while retaining exceptional measurement accuracy. The system allows on-site balancing directly at the equipment’s installation site without requiring dismantling, which is vital for minimizing production downtime.

Technical Specifications
Measuring Parameters
Balanset-1A delivers high-precision measurements using a two-channel vibration analysis system. The device measures RMS vibration velocity in the range of 0-80 mm/s with an accuracy of ±(0.1 + 0.1?Vi) mm/s. The operating frequency range is 5-550 Hz with optional extension to 1000 Hz. The system supports rotational speed measurement from 250 to 90,000 RPM with phase angle determination accuracy of ±1 degree.
Working Principle
The device uses phase-sensitive vibration measurement technology with MEMS accelerometers ADXL335 and laser tachometry. Two uniaxial accelerometers measure mechanical vibrations proportional to acceleration, while a laser tachometer generates impulse signals for computing rotation frequency and phase angle. Digital signal processing includes FFT analysis for frequency analysis and proprietary algorithms for automatic calculation of balancing masses.
Full Kit Package
The standard Balanset-1A delivery includes:
Measurement unit with USB interface – main module with integrated preamplifiers, integrators, and ADC
2 vibration sensors (accelerometers) with 4m cables (alternatively 10m)
Optical sensor (laser tachometer) with 50-500mm measuring distance
Magnetic stand for sensor mounting
Electronic scales for accurate measurement of corrective masses
Software for Windows 7-11 (32/64-bit)
Plastic transport case
Complete set of cables and documentation
Operating Capabilities
Vibrometer Mode
Balanset-1A works as a complete vibration analyzer with features for measuring overall vibration level, FFT spectrum analysis up to 1000 Hz, calculating amplitude and phase of the fundamental frequency (1x), and continuous data recording. The system delivers visualization of time signals and spectral analysis for equipment condition diagnostics.
Balancing Mode
The device supports single-plane (static) and dual-plane (dynamic) balancing with automatic calculation of corrective masses and their installation angles. The unique influence coefficient saving function allows significant acceleration of follow-up balancing of similar equipment. A specialized grinding wheel balancing mode uses the three-correction-weight method.
Software
The user-friendly program interface provides step-by-step guidance through the balancing process, making the device accessible to personnel without special training. Key functions include:
Automatic tolerance calculation per ISO 1940
Polar diagrams for imbalance visualization
Result archiving with report generation capability
Metric and imperial system support
Multilingual interface (English, German, French, Polish, Russian)
Application Areas and Equipment Types
Industrial Equipment
Balanset-1A is effectively applied for balancing fans (centrifugal, axial), pumps (hydraulic, centrifugal), turbines (steam, gas), centrifuges, compressors, and electric motors. In manufacturing facilities, the device is used for balancing grinding wheels, machine spindles, and drive shafts.
Agricultural Machinery
The device provides exceptional value for agriculture, where continuous operation during season is critically important. Balanset-1A is employed for balancing combine threshing drums, shredders, mulchers, mowers, and augers. The capability to balance on-site without equipment disassembly allows preventing costly downtime during critical harvest periods.
Specialized Equipment
The device is successfully used for balancing crushers of various types, turbochargers, drone propellers, and other high-speed equipment. The rotation frequency range from 250 to 90,000 RPM covers practically all types of industrial equipment.
Advantages Over Alternatives
Economic Effectiveness
At a price of €1,751, Balanset-1A offers the functionality of devices costing €10,000-25,000. The investment breaks even after preventing just 2-3 bearing failures. Savings on third-party balancing specialist services reaches thousands of euros annually.
Ease of Use
Unlike complicated vibration analyzers requiring months of training, mastering Balanset-1A takes 3-4 hours. The step-by-step guide in the software enables professional balancing by personnel without special vibration diagnostics training.
