Analysis Of Community’s Potentials And Policies On The Utilization Of Raskin As The Staple Food (Study In Peukan Bada Sub-District, Aceh Besar District)

One of the Government Programs nowadays is the provision of Raskin or Rastra to the community with the low price system of Rp. 1,600 / kg, this program is part of the food assistance program for Pre-prosperous families in villages in Indonesia. The food rights are very valuable for some disadvantaged families in terms of covering their daily needs. Even some families economically make Raskin as their staple. However, the program is still followed by other various problems that cause social jealousy among the communities in general. So that there is the emergence of protest against the village apparatus. In this case, the head of the village is the main target of the beneficiaries who felt they were not detected as direct recipients of the program. There are some mistakes from the system run, so that the program does not get fully on the right target; first, basically data collection carried out by officers to determine recipients of Raskin was done without the approval of the head of the village, secondly, some people provided wrong information’s about their families who were economically capable but the information provided lead to disadvantaged families, thirdly, some Raskin recipients sold the rice they received for the purpose of gaining profit, fourthly, the quality of Raskin received was not suitable to be consumed because it was dirty, smelly and lousy. If it were consumed, it would lead to health problems.
