Inspection Of Tangerang's Anyar Market, Trade Minister Lutfi Says All Needs Prices Rise

TANGERANG - Minister of Trade Muhammad Lutfi conducted an inspection at the Anyar Market in Tangerang City. The goal is to ensure supply readiness ahead of the 2022 Eid Al-Fitr.

"Looking to check on the supply of basic commodities during Ramadan and ahead of Eid. I can see that all the goods are here, all of them are well priced," Lutfi told reporters in front of Pasar Anyar, Tangerang City, Thursday, April 21.

In his inspection, Lutfi said that there were several food items whose prices were below the national market price, such as eggs and sugar.

"So if we look at the case earlier, the price of sugar is Rp. 14,000 below the national price, then eggs are Rp. 26,000 below the national price of Rp. 26,100," he said.

On that occasion, Lutfi hoped that the market price situation would last until the end of Eid. So it can work well because the availability of food is sufficient.

"Hopefully we can maintain this, hopefully we can solemnly carry out this Ramadan well because of the availability of sufficient food and affordable prices," he said.
