Meat stocks for 'Lebaran' adequate

JAKARTA (JP): The meat stocks for the upcoming Idul Fitri festivities, locally known as Lebaran, are adequate so there is no reason for the public to be worried, the head of the Jakarta Husbandry Office announced.

Sumitro said on Saturday that in order to accommodate the rising demand for meat during the days leading up to the Moslem holidays, his office has cooperated with a number of cattle producing provinces including West Java, Central Java, East Jakarta, Yogyakarta, East Nusa Tenggara, West Nusa Tenggara, Bali, South Sulawesi and Lampung.

"So the public should not be inordinately worried about the stock of meat," he said. (bas)
