"We hold the bazaar simultaneously," he expressed, Wednesday (5/24).

He explained the bazaar is participated by dozens of Jakpreneurs under West Jakarta PPKUKM Sub-agency and other regional apparatus organizations (OPD).

"It aims to assist Jakpreneurs in marketing and promoting their products to boost the people's economy. People can also get food at lower prices," he uttered.

To smoothen it, his party had teamed up with PT Indonesian Trading Company (PPI) which would provide onions, chilies, and other commodities, including with PT Dharma Jaya and Bulog which will supply chicken and beef, as well as rice.

People can get food at a lower selling price than the market price. Beef ribs are sold at Rp 110,000 per kilogram, beef liver Rp 35,000 per kilogram, and beef lung Rp 55,000 per kilogram.

"Hopefully, this bazaar can also help residents to get basic needs at low prices," he hoped.
