Bulog Kediri Distributes 12,941 Tonnes of SPHP Maize
Kediri (ANTARA) – Perum Bulog’s Kediri branch in East Java has distributed 12,941,850 kilograms, or around 12,941 tonnes, of maize through the Food Supply and Price Stabilisation (SPHP) programme.
Branch head Harisun said on Monday that the figure covered the period from the start of the year to date. As of 19 October 2026, distribution had reached 99.35 per cent of the government’s total allocation of 13,027,150 kilograms.
“Livestock farmers can buy SPHP maize for Rp5,000 per kilogram,” Harisun said in Kediri.
Bulog is ready to accelerate distribution to meet farmers’ needs while helping to stabilise the price of raw materials for animal feed.
The SPHP maize programme is intended to help farmers obtain affordable feed ingredients and ensure the sustainability of livestock businesses, he said.
Bulog Kediri works with cooperatives and livestock-farmer associations as distribution partners to ensure the maize reaches its intended recipients.
By 19 October 2026, SPHP maize had been distributed through seven cooperatives or farmer associations in Kediri and surrounding areas, reaching around 244 farmers.
In addition to distributing SPHP maize, Bulog Kediri is carrying out a government assignment to purchase domestically produced maize for the Government Maize Reserve (CJP).
Harisun said Bulog buys maize from farmers at the government purchase price (HPP) of Rp5,500 per kilogram at farm level. For maize meeting quality standards at Bulog warehouses, the purchase price is Rp6,400 per kilogram.
In 2026, the government set a target of procuring one million tonnes of maize. Bulog Kediri has purchased 8,577,200 kilograms, or around 8,577 tonnes, equivalent to 94.51 per cent of the branch’s procurement target of 9,075,540 kilograms.
For distribution, Bulog is also seeking to balance stocks through its national stock movement mechanism (movenas), which transfers supplies between regions to meet demand where necessary.
Harisun said these transfers are focused on supporting maize needs in East Java, West Sumatra, Central Java and the Special Region of Yogyakarta.
He added that Bulog’s maize stocks remained sufficient and were ready to be sent to areas in need.
“These efforts are expected to help maintain the availability of maize for animal feed and reduce the risk of supply shortages for farmers,” Harisun said.
