"Along this year, I think staple food price is the most conducive. Everything is totally under control," he expressed at City Hall, Monday (7/3).
He mentioned rice as the most stable in price than other food commodities. It happened because PT. Food Station Tjipinang Jaya has plentiful rice stock thus there was no price speculation from merchant.
Rice Stock in Jakarta is Safe"There were no high or low price. All food commodities were totally under controlled. Especially rice. This is beyond our expectation, all prices were affordable," he said.
