Reported by Budhi Firmansyah Surapati | Translated by Nugroho Adibrata
The Jakarta DPRD's Commission B is set to inspect the price hike on meat in several markets spread across Jakarta shortly.
If there is a price hike, we will make a summons
if the increase is significant, they will summon the Maritime, Agriculture, and Food Security (KPKP) Agency and three food BUMDs to clarify it.
In this matter, DPRD's Commission B Chairman Ismail had coordinated with the Jakarta administration and food enterprises since the eve of Ramadan 1443 Hijri or around March 2022. It aimed at ensuring food price stability during Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, until D+7 of Eid.
Commission C Legislator Supports Funding Assistance for Regional Strategic Programs"The data reported and the results of field visits are appropriate. Stock availability and prices are relatively stable," he expressed, Tuesday (5/10).
That was why he was quite surprised when the information on the infopangan.jakarta website showed an increase in the price of meat to Rp 160,000/kg. On the other hand, he received news that food prices other than chili were relatively stable during monitoring ahead of Eid, which should be the highest upward momentum
With stock availability and low-cost market strategies that have been intensified so far, the trend in market prices after the holiday could be maintained according to the jointly announced benchmark of Rp 120,000/kg.
"If there is a price hike, we will make a summons," he stressed,
