        "summary": "Indonesia's government rice reserves have reached a record high of 5.28 million tonnes in May 2026, bolstering national food security and efforts to control inflation. Bank Indonesia, in collaboration with central and regional governments, launched the East Java Food Inflation Control Movement (GPIPS) to enhance food supply and distribution, particularly from key producer East Java, which supports 80% of food distribution to 19 eastern provinces. Despite the surplus, challenges from climate change and seasonal commodity fluctuations necessitate ongoing vigilance to maintain macroeconomic stability.",
        "content": "<p>The government has recorded government rice reserves (CBP) reaching\n5.28 million tonnes in May 2026. This amount is said to be the highest\nin history.<\/p>\n<p>This was conveyed by Deputy Governor Aida S. Budiman during the\nlaunch of the East Java Food Inflation Control and Prosperity Movement\n(GPIPS) at the Bulog Warehouse in Sidoarjo, East Java, on Wednesday, 13\nMay 2026.<\/p>\n<p>She stated that the high rice stock is part of efforts to maintain\nfood stability and control national inflation. \u201cEven this government\nrice reserve is the highest in history. In May, it is 5.28 million\ntonnes,\u201d said Aida in Sidoarjo, East Java, on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>She explained that volatile food components remain one of the\nimportant factors in forming inflation, especially for low-income\ncommunities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c(In terms of inflation) for communities with low incomes, this can\naccount for 60-80% of their income weight,\u201d she clarified.<\/p>\n<p>On the same occasion, Bank Indonesia, together with the central and\nregional governments, also launched GPIPS as a strengthening of the\nNational Food Inflation Control Movement (GNPIP) programme. The\nprogramme focuses on strengthening food supply and inter-regional\ndistribution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe see that controlling food inflation must be further strengthened\nwith supply. Because supply is important to ensure disparities over time\nand between regions,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The launch of GPIPS was held in East Java because the region is\nconsidered to have a significant contribution to national food security.\nEast Java is said to be the main producer of several food commodities\nsuch as rice, corn, chillies, sugarcane, and milk.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, around 80% of food distribution to 19 provinces in\neastern Indonesia is also supported from East Java. The storage capacity\nof Bulog warehouses in the region is recorded at around 22.81% of the\nnational total capacity.<\/p>\n<p>Although national rice stocks have increased, Aida assesses that food\nsecurity challenges still need to be anticipated, especially regarding\nclimate change and the seasonal nature of food commodities.<\/p>\n<p>She added that her side will continue to support inflation control\nand macroeconomic stability through synergy with the central and\nregional governments.<\/p>",
