Inp.polri.go.id - Denpasar. The Bali Regional Police Quality Control Task Force conducted impromptu inspections on rice availability and pricing across traditional markets and regional distributors in Denpasar on Monday (28/9/2026).

Field officers targeted traders at Kreneng Traditional Market, including the Toko Kamila shop, and traced supply lines directly to local distributor CV Sari Limo to ensure compliance with national trade regulations.

Inspection results revealed that several premium and medium rice brands were listed above the highest retail price caps. Premium varieties capped at Rp 14,900 per kilogram, such as Putri Sejati, Ratu Ayu, and Sido Makmur brands, were sold between Rp 15,600 and Rp 16,800 per kilogram depending on bag size. Medium-grade Nasi Tempong brand rice capped at Rp 13,500 per kilogram was listed up to Rp 15,600 per kilogram.

Conversely, government-subsidized SPHP rice remained compliant, retailing at Rp 12,000 per kilogram against its Rp 12,500 ceiling.

Task force officers issued formal advisories to both market vendors and corporate management at CV Sari Limo, urging strict adherence to government price ceilings to protect consumer purchasing power and maintain regional food supply stability.
