        "summary": "Rising plastic packaging prices are affecting Jakarta market vendors selling meat and vegetables, prompting concerns over increased operational costs that squeeze their margins. A chicken vendor at Kramat Jati Market has seen his plastic procurement costs double from Rp30,000 to Rp60,000, yet he refuses to raise chicken prices, which remain at Rp50,000 per bird amid high post-Ramadan levels. Meanwhile, a vegetable seller limits free extra bags to one per customer, charging Rp500 for additional ones to offset the expense.",
        "content": "<p>Rising prices of plastic packaging are beginning to impact meat and\nvegetable vendors. They are anxious because the increase in plastic\nprices affects their income. One such vendor is Kamil, a chicken meat\nseller at Kramat Jati Market in East Jakarta, who is starting to worry\nabout the rising plastic prices, although he has not yet been forced to\nincrease the selling price of chicken meat. \u201cYes, since the price of\nplastic bags has become more expensive, I\u2019m a bit anxious because when\nbuying chicken meat, plastic is definitely needed. Sometimes people ask\nfor more plastic,\u201d said Kamil when met by CNBC Indonesia on Monday\n(6\/4\/2026). This makes him feel burdened by the rise in plastic prices.\nThe reason is that the increase in plastic prices has caused the cost of\nbuying plastic to swell; previously, the cost to buy plastic was\nRp30,000, but now he has to dig deeper into his pocket up to Rp60,000.\n\u201cActually, the rise in plastic prices has quite an impact, but we still\nhave to buy it because customers need it,\u201d he continued. Kamil also does\nnot want to raise his chicken meat price because it is already quite\nexpensive at Rp50,000 per bird. \u201cIf it\u2019s said that later the effect will\nbe to raise the chicken price, no, it\u2019s already expensive now, still\nRp50,000 per bird. This has not gone down since Ramadan; if we raise it\nagain, customers will run away,\u201d he explained. Similarly, Marni, a\nvegetable seller at Kramat Jati Market, is now starting to limit\ncustomers from requesting extra plastic for free. \u201cYes, since the price\nhas risen, buying plastic has become more expensive, so if someone asks\nfor extra plastic, we no longer give it,\u201d said Marni. She still provides\nextra plastic for free but limits it to two per customer, so if a\ncustomer requests additional plastic, she charges an extra fee of Rp500.\n\u201cWe limit it to one extra plastic per customer. If more than that,\nthere\u2019s an additional fee of Rp500,\u201d she clarified.<\/p>",
