Ahead of Lebaran 2026, food prices in Bangka Belitung province have\nexperienced significant increases, particularly in chicken meat. On\nSunday, 15 March, chicken meat prices at several traditional markets in\nSungailiat, Bangka reached Rp43,000 per kilogramme (kg).<\/p>\n
At Kite Market in Sungailiat, chicken meat prices which had\npreviously been sold at Rp35,000 per kg have now surged to Rp43,000 per\nkg.<\/p>\n
Yunita, one of the chicken meat traders at Kite Market in Sungailiat\nBangka, confirmed that chicken meat prices have continuously risen since\nthe beginning of Ramadan. \u201cThe prices have been increasing since early\nRamadan until now, and they may well continue to rise closer to\nLebaran,\u201d said Yunita on Sunday, 15 March.<\/p>\n
She noted that chicken meat prices initially stood at Rp32,000 per\nkg, then rose to Rp34,000 per kg, subsequently to Rp35,000 per kg, and\nnow have reached Rp43,000 per kg. \u201cThis Rp43,000 is the cleaned and\nbutchered price, but for whole unprocessed chicken it is Rp38,000 per\nkg,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Bangka regent Feri Insani stated that generally food\nprices at Kite Market are relatively normal and stable. However, two\nbasic commodities have experienced price increases: red chilli peppers\nand chicken meat.<\/p>\n
\u201cAccording to information from traders, our chicken meat stocks are\ninsufficient whilst demand is high due to the Lunar New Year period,\nRamadan, and the approaching Lebaran 2026,\u201d said Feri.<\/p>\n
According to him, to meet chicken meat requirements, chicken\ndistributors have been forced to source supplies from Lampung.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will continue to monitor the movement of chicken meat prices,\ngiven that further increases remain possible as current stocks\ndiminish,\u201d he said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/ahead-of-lebaran-2026-chicken-meat-prices-in-bangka-reach-rp43-000-per-kilogramme-1773586274", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
