Third,
family income loss according to the average daily income of each province multiplied by 20 working days.
Fourth,
loss of rice fields with losses reaching IDR 6,500 per kg assuming that per Ha it can produce 7 tons.Fifth, road repairs per 1000 meters reach IDR 100 million.
“Nationally, there was an impact of a decline in Gross Domestic Product reaching IDR 68.67 trillion or the equivalent of 0.29 percent,” wrote Celios in his study quoted Monday (1/12).
The impact on other provinces is that the flow of consumer goods and industrial needs is also weakening, especially as North Sumatra is one of the national industrial nodes in Sumatra.
“Regionally, Aceh’s economy will shrink by around 0.88 percent or the equivalent of IDR 2.04 trillion,” he said.
According to Celios, the ecological disaster was triggered by land conversion due to palm oil deforestation and mining.
Meanwhile, the contribution from mining and palm oil to the province of Aceh, for example, is not commensurate with the losses caused by the disaster.
Therefore, Celios is urging an immediate moratorium on mining permits and expansion of palm oil plantations.
“It is time to shift to a more sustainable economy, a restorative economy. Without changes in the economic structure, ecological disasters will recur with much greater economic losses.”
