Inp.polri.go.id – Jakarta. Head of Presidential Staff (KSP), Moeldoko held a meeting with Economic Coordinating Ministry, Trade Ministry, Agriculture Ministry, Indonesian Cabinet Secretariat, Bulog, and Central Bureau of Statistics, to discuss about the current rice issue on Thursday (2/29/2024). Amidst the anxiety surrounding the issue of rice price, Moeldoko implores public to not worry about the rice price as it has went down and the rice stocks for medium and premium quality have returned to normal. “People implored not to panic buying as we have the sufficient stock,” implore Moeldoko on Friday (3/1/2024). Moeldoko also highlights the long queue of people during his inspection as Bulog was running out its stock of five kilograms of rice. This is because of the limited packaging of Stabilized Market Price Supply (SPHP) rice in five kilograms. “The distribution and packaging should be done quickly to overcome this queueing issue,” said Moeldoko. On the other hand, Moeldoko claims that the rice price in several Rice Main Market have go down and has sufficient stock. However, there are still lingering issues in distribution process and rice price in modern retail. “The primary action is to first fill the regions with the stocks limited in modern retail,” said Moeldoko. In addition, Moeldoko also discussed about the issue in rice import distribution. He instructs Bulog to coordinate with Pelindo and Customs to accelerate the rice stock review in port. (ad/inp/pr/nm)
