Indramayu — Perum Bulog’s Indramayu branch has commenced distribution of food assistance to food-insecure communities in Indramayu Regency, West Java, for the February-March 2026 allocation, reaching 314,129 food aid beneficiaries (PBP).

The branch head of Perum Bulog Indramayu, Sri Wahyuni, stated in Indramayu on Wednesday that the assistance comprises rice and cooking oil to help meet communities’ basic needs.

She explained that each beneficiary receives 20 kilogrammes of rice and a total of four litres of cooking oil, as the aid allocation is distributed simultaneously for two months.

“Each recipient will receive 20 kilogrammes of rice. Because the allocation covers two months at once, communities also receive a total of four litres of cooking oil,” she said.

According to her, the total rice distributed under the food assistance programme reaches approximately 6,282 tonnes.

Meanwhile, she said, the total cooking oil distributed to beneficiaries reaches approximately 1.26 million litres.
