Basic commodities shortage hits Jambi

JAMBI, Jambi: Basic commodities have been hard to find in many
major stores in Jambi city after the Idul Fitri holiday, leaving
many residents at a loss.

Juline, 38, a grocery owner, said that only a few large
distributors in Jambi had resumed activities on Monday, so that
the quantity of basic commodities distributed to stores in Jambi
was far less than on normal days.

The owner of a small shop, Bagong, 55, complained that his
shop had not received supplies of basic commodities for the last
few days. The trade of basic commodities is expected to return to
normal in the next few days. -- Antara
