Similar initiatives are being conducted across Jakarta’s five administrative cities and its one regency, with 1,000 subsidized bundles allocated to each region.
"At this site, we are distributing 500 packages. While each administrative city, such as South Jakarta, receives 1,000 packages total, these 500 units—valued at Rp 150,000—are being offered to residents for just Rp 100,000," he explained.
Each subsidized grocery bundle includes 5 kilograms of premium rice, 2 liters of cooking oil, 1 kilogram of flour, and 1 kilogram of granulated sugar.
