Governor promises rice supply safe<\/p>\n
JAKARTA: The State Logistics Agency (Bulog) may not increase
\nnational rice stocks, but the people of Jakarta have no reason to
\nworry about rice shortages, Governor Sutiyoso said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
\"In its history, Jakarta has never been short of rice. We have
\nalways found a way to meet demand,\" he was quoted by Antara as
\nsaying.<\/p>\n
The head of Bulog in Jakarta, Rito Angky, said earlier the
\ncity's rice stocks stood at 3,474 tons, far below the
\n10,000 tons that is generally considered safe. Stocks are
\nexpected to dwindle even further in January and February.<\/p>\n
The governor, however, promised that stock would be
\nreplenished.<\/p>\n
\"It is absurd to think we will just do nothing, so people
\nshould not be concerned by this. We will resolve the problem
\nbefore there is a rice crisis.\" --JP<\/p>",
