IDXChannel - The National Food Agency (Bapanas) stated that food stocks and prices during Eid al-Fitr 2023 holidays were stable and under control.
According to the Head of the Babanas, Arief Prasetyo, prices of food such as chilies and onions, moderately increased ahead of Eid al-Fitr holidays due to rising demands.
In order to stabilize food supplies and measures, he ensured that existing meausres would continue to be intensified after Eid holidays.
"We will continue to make efforts to stabilize food supplies and prices,” said Arief in a statement on Wednesday (26/4/2023).
"We also ask Bulog to continue distributing SPHP (food supply and price stabilization) rice to modern and traditional retailers, and simultaneously encourage Bulog to absorb more grain/rice from domestic sources," he added.
