KPKP Sub-agency: Ramadan Staple Goods Supply Secured in North Jakarta
The head of the North Jakarta KPKP (Food Security, Marine Affairs, Agriculture and Forestry) Sub-agency, Novy Christine Palit, confirmed in Jakarta on Friday that staple goods availability remains secure, keeping prices stable.
"We are ensuring the availability of staple goods so that prices remain stable. Together with Metro Jaya Police, Bapanas, and Bulog, we conducted an inspection at Koja Market yesterday, and the result was that no price increases were found, and stocks remain adequate," said Novy.
According to her, the visit aimed to directly observe the availability and prices of staple goods sold to the public.
"From the visit, no prices were found above the highest retail price ceiling, and stocks remain well maintained," Novy said.
Furthermore, she assured that the supply of staple goods would continue to be secured and available in the market. Her office is also coordinating with the DKI Jakarta KPKP Agency, the National Food Agency (Bapanas), the National Logistics Agency (Bulog), and the police in monitoring staple goods prices.
"We also routinely deploy teams every week to monitor stocks and prices of staple goods. We monitor two markets in each sub-district across North Jakarta," Novy explained.
According to her, the results of field monitoring are then reported to the provincial level to serve as a reference for decision-making and policy formulation.
"If price increases occur, there will certainly be intervention to ensure prices remain well maintained," Novy said.
Previously, a price summary compiled as part of the monitoring and surveillance of key staple commodity prices ahead of the National Religious Holidays (HBKN) at Koja Baru Market on Thursday (19 February) recorded the following: beef at Rp140,000 per kilogram, chicken at Rp30,000 per kg, shallots at Rp60,000 per kg, and garlic at Rp45,000 per kg.
Additionally, curly red chillies were priced at Rp60,000 per kg, red bird's eye chillies at Rp110,000 per kg, commercial-grade chicken eggs at Rp32,000 per kg, premium rice at Rp14,000 to Rp17,000 per kg, and MinyaKita cooking oil at Rp15,700 per litre.
