patchouli oil
Indonesian patchouli oil market share is estimated to reach 80% of world exports of patchouli oil, patchouli oil prices ranging from Rp. 500.000, - s / d Rp. 1.000.000, - / Kg level distiller (depending on quality and quality). But often the price is very volatile and tends to go down as well as uncertain, for reasons of quality and quality of patchouli oil we are still low. Quality stills, the harvesting and processing methods are also often used as an excuse by the buyer to suppress the price. In fact we know, the price of perfume almost never go down because of the needs of perfume and cosmetics world must always go up.
Surprisingly Singapore that we know a very small country, known as a world supplier of patchouli oil. The question, "where does Singapore get it?". Of the various opinions among, most of Singapore patchouli oil comes from Indonesia who then diolahnya back to meet the desired quality standards of the consumer, so that Singapore further master the trade of this patchouli.
Price uncertainties make farmers less passionate and less enthusiasm to develop plantations of patchouli. Quality stills or distillation machine that is still low, and the engine is still somewhat rare and difficult to reach by the power of the farmer, also a constraint.Moreover, the function of facilitators, mentoring and empowerment of the government and other stakeholders, are also not going well.
In order for the above issues can be addressed properly by farmers patchouli, particularly those involving up and down selling prices, processing and standardization of quality desired by consumers in foreign countries, may well farm processing (patchouli oil refiners), was given special attention by all state components, especially the government.Attention not only to infrastructure, but also on the trade routes as well as the standardization of quality in accordance with international demand.
The government through the ministries and stakeholders who had been providing assistance, not maximum, and right on target. Might have to go through special attention by the method of assistance and empowerment to groups of patchouli plantation farmer.Cooperation with local government, who have not seen some smooth roads. Perhaps because of the autonomy, sometimes applying her own area may not be suitable and in accordance with the original purpose, so do not bring more value to farmers the benefits of patchouli.
Cooperation with consultant mentoring and empowerment, may also be a solution, as long as the process is transparent, ready and able in the audit and the expected achievements can also be measured and accounted for clearly.
Indonesia hopes that farmers could patchouli smart and advanced, it will greatly assist the State in mengenjot economic growth and improve export competitiveness. This could bring many benefits including: Tax revenues go up, unemployment is reduced, prosperous farmers, farmers' purchasing power rose and finished it the name of the nation Indonesia because Indonesian patchouli farmers can meet the international quality standardization in processing plants to become oil patchouli patchouli-quality.
