        "summary": "Indonesia's Trade Minister Budi Santoso announced the government is exploring egg and chicken meat exports to Singapore following a domestic supply surplus that has driven prices below the retail ceiling. The minister noted that the temporary suspension of the free nutritious meal programme has also reduced absorption. Efforts are currently underway to find buyers abroad before connecting them with Indonesian producers.",
        "content": "<p>Trade Minister Budi Santoso has stated that current production of\neggs and chicken meat is in surplus, causing prices to fall, and the\ngovernment is therefore exploring exports to Singapore. \u201cIndeed, eggs\nand chicken meat are in surplus. So there is an oversupply,\u201d Budi said\nin Jakarta on Tuesday. According to him, with the surplus production of\neggs and chicken meat, the government is trying to explore exporting\nthese commodities to Singapore. However, Budi stated that his office is\nstill working to find buyers, and once found, they will be connected\nwith producers in Indonesia. \u201cWe haven\u2019t secured a buyer yet, but we\nhave already explored the possibility so that the surplus can be\nabsorbed by other countries. So there is an export opportunity,\u201d he\nsaid. Budi noted that the price decline is not only occurring for eggs\nand chicken but also for a number of other staple foods. He added that\nthe current prices for eggs and chicken are below the highest retail\nprice (HET), with the market price for eggs currently at Rp26,000 per\nkilogram, down from the HET of Rp30,000. The price of chicken meat has\nalso fallen, from an HET of Rp40,000 per kilogram to Rp36,000 per\nkilogram. \u201cSo, if you look at the Market and Basic Needs Monitoring\nSystem (SP2KP), indeed several prices have fallen. Yesterday I went to\nBanyumas, and several commodities had dropped,\u201d he said. Besides the\nproduction surplus, Budi said the government\u2019s suspension of the free\nnutritious meal programme (MBG) has caused absorption of these\ncommodities to decline. \u201cIndeed, one of the factors is the MBG being\nsuspended. So absorption has decreased,\u201d he stated.<\/p>",
