PT Berdikari Contributes to the Success of "From the Palace for the People" Event, Sharing Happiness with the Community
Jakarta (ANTARA) – PT Berdikari participated in the “From the Palace for the People” event held at the National Monument (Monas) in Jakarta on Saturday (28/3), as an effort to help the public obtain essential needs amid the joyful atmosphere following the celebration of Eid al-Fitr, maintain food price stability, and strengthen the spirit of togetherness towards national food security.
The event is a presidential directive to entertain, bring joy, and provide the best for the public in this Lebaran season. It is also the result of cross-agency collaboration, involving the State Secretariat Ministry of the Republic of Indonesia, the Ministry of Trade of the Republic of Indonesia, the Coordinating Ministry for Food of the Republic of Indonesia, the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs of the Republic of Indonesia, Food SOEs (IDFood), Bulog, the Jakarta Provincial Government, as well as the TNI and Police.
Cabinet Secretary of the Republic of Indonesia Teddy Indra Wijaya stated that the event serves as a momentum to share happiness with the public.
“So for each coupon of Rp500,000, Rp300,000 of it is in the form of basic necessities, and Rp200,000 can be exchanged for goods from SMEs,” he said.
PT Berdikari supported the public’s food needs by supplying quality chicken carcasses from the company’s RPHU as a source of animal protein. This aligns with the government’s programme for public welfare.
The public also obtained several basic commodities from Bulog and the ID FOOD Group, including rice, eggs, cooking oil, sugar, and sardines, thereby helping to alleviate household needs.
PT Berdikari’s participation in this event embodies the company’s commitment to providing quality food, especially from animal protein sources, strengthening national food security, delivering ASUH food to the public, and continuing to commit to helping maintain national food price stability.
General Manager of Corporate Secretary & Social Responsibility at PT Berdikari AS Hasbi Al-Islahi conveyed that PT Berdikari’s presence in this event is not merely about providing 100,000 packages of quality chicken, but also actively involved in assisting with the organisation of this extraordinary event.
“We deployed employees to help serve the public from the beginning to the end of the event. As a livestock SOE, we are also committed to supporting the fulfilment of quality animal protein sources to encourage increased protein consumption among the public,” Hasbi explained.
“The preparation for this event was indeed very short, but PT Berdikari moved quickly through internal consolidation, from stock readiness, packaging, distribution, to personnel assignment in the field yesterday. We also prepared an additional 10 percent stock to ensure the public’s needs are well served,” he added.
The event, which ran from 3:00 PM to 12:30 AM WIB, was accompanied by the distribution of 100,000 food aid packages to the public in the Jakarta area. In addition to food aid from the President of the Republic of Indonesia, the event was enlivened with SME culinary offerings, music by capital city band artists, family entertainment areas, and fireworks. Everything was free and could be enjoyed by the entire public along with their families.
