Menteri Perencanaan Pembangunan Nasional, Bambang Brodjonegoro mengaku cukup antusias dengan langkah BNN ini. Meskipun begitu, ia menyebutkan untuk merealisasikannya perlu mendapatkan dukungan lintas sektoral.
“Tetap harus ada yang diperhatikan, yang pertama tanaman harus memiliki nilai ekonomis, seperti kopi, kelapa, kakao dan tanaman pangan lainnya, yang kedua pentingnya target pasar yang jelas sehingga para petaninya tidak merugi. Artinya, secara ideal, para petani sudah memiliki target pasar seperti perusahaan besar yang menjadi mitra,” ujar Bambang.
