Jakarta (ANTARA News) - The government has not yet decided to revise its 2011 smallholder`s credit scheme (KUR) target set at Rp20 trillion, although realization up to May this year has reached Rp11.012 trillion, a minister said.

"Although the realization of KUR has reached over 50 percent with the number of recipients reaching 771,818, the target this year remains the same as that already set at Rp20 trillion," Minister for State Enterprises (BUMN) Mustafa Abubakar said here on Friday.

The minister said that the quantitative achievements, including the number of credit recipients showed a progress, so that it was just possible to increase the KUR amounts.
