This activity was carried out as an effort to ensure the stability of prices and quality of food products in the community by visiting the Cheap Food Market located at the Banjarbaru Post Office on Tuesday (3/18/2025).

The main focus of this inspection is MinyaKita cooking oil, which is one of the strategic food products.

"We want to ensure that the public has access to basic ingredients at affordable prices and guaranteed quality. This inspection also aims to prevent any party from taking advantage of the others," said Andi Amran Sulaiman.

Head of Public Relations of the South Kalimantan Regional Police, Senior Superintendent Adam Erwindi, emphasized his party's commitment to continue to monitor the distribution of food supplies in the region.

"We will continue to carry out strict supervision and take firm action against perpetrators who violate the rules. The South Kalimantan Regional Police Food Task Force is ready to support the government in maintaining national food security," said Adam Erwindi firmly.
