The Bandung City Trade and Industry Office (Disdagin) has stated that\nthe prices of various staple goods in traditional markets and modern\nretail stores remain relatively stable, with some commodities even\nexperiencing price declines in recent weeks.<\/p>\n
Head of Distribution and Trade and Metrological Supervision at\nDisdagin Bandung, Meiwan Kartiwa, said the office routinely monitors\nprices across various traditional markets and retail stores to ensure\nsupply and prices of essential goods remain under control.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe results of our monitoring last Thursday showed that prices of\nstaple goods are still relatively stable. In fact, some commodities have\ntended to decline, such as red cayenne pepper and red tanjung chilli\ncompared to previous weeks,\u201d Meiwan said in Bandung on Sunday.<\/p>\n
According to him, the price fluctuations that still occur mainly stem\nfrom vegetable commodities, which are heavily influenced by weather\nconditions. Meanwhile, other major commodities, such as chicken eggs,\nremain in normal and stable condition.<\/p>\n
He explained that the price of red cayenne pepper or domba chilli\ncurrently ranges from Rp60,000 to Rp80,000 per kilogram, while red\ntanjung chilli ranges from Rp40,000 to Rp60,000 per kilogram.<\/p>\n
\u201cChilli prices are actually tending to decline compared to several\nweeks ago,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, beef prices vary according to type and quality, ranging\nfrom Rp130,000 to Rp150,000 per kilogram.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeef prices differ because the quality also differs. There are lean\ncuts, topside, silverside, and rump, so the prices vary,\u201d Meiwan\nsaid.<\/p>\n
For cooking oil, Disdagin noted that prices had risen some time ago.\nHowever, market conditions have now returned to stability and are not\nshowing an upward trend.<\/p>\n
\u201cCooking oil prices are currently holding steady, there is no further\nincrease,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
In addition to price monitoring, Disdagin Bandung continues to run a\ncheap market programme to help residents obtain staple goods at more\naffordable prices.<\/p>\n
Meiwan said the cheap market programme, which is a regular quarterly\nagenda, was held ahead of Eid al-Adha in the second quarter of this\nyear. Similar activities will be held again in the third quarter, around\nSeptember 2026.<\/p>\n
\u201cAhead of the third quarter, probably around September, we will hold\nthe cheap market again,\u201d he said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/bandung-trade-office-says-staple-food-prices-relatively-stable-1782060703", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
