Local Government Asked To Routinely Monitor Food Prices And Stocks

JAKARTA - Local governments are asked to carry out routine monitoring and supervision related to food availability and prices.

"The results of the monitoring carried out by Badanas at the end of January in Tangerang City, food prices were monitored to be stable. This needs to be monitored so that there will be no turmoil in February, let alone entering the month of Ramadan," said Director of Supervision of the Implementation of Security Standards and Food Quality. Badanas Hermawan quoted Antara.

The monitoring results show the price of meat is IDR 135 thousand per kilogram. Then the price of chicken eggs is IDR 26 thousand per kg and chickens is IDR 35 thousand per head.

This figure is still relatively safe or not seen a significant increase. Availability in the market is also safe and sufficient

"I hope the spirit of maintaining food security for our society will continue to be maintained. So, all residents of Tangerang City really get quality food," ujanrya said.

Head of the Tangerang City Food Security Service, Muhdorun, said the Tangerang City Government had prepared efforts to meet the needs of residents during Ramadan, including the cheap food movement (GPM) which will take place in 13 sub-districts.

The food prices at GPM are 5 kg SPHP rice with Rp57,500, 5 kg Super Sylp rice Rp70,000, 5 kg of Ramos Center Rice Rp70,000.

In addition, King Sugar 1kg Rp17,500, our sugar sugar 1kg Rp17,500, MinyaKita Premium 1 liter Rp17 thousand and there is Wheat Tulip 1kg Rp11,000.

As for what is presented with the concept of packages, namely SPHP rice, oil and sugar at a price of Rp. 91 thousand or premium rice packages, oil and sugar are only Rp. 104,000. And there are still many choices of frozen food at a price of Rp. 15 thousand to Rp. 30,000.

These prices are certainly cheaper than the market price. This is good news for all mothers to fill the needs of the kitchen during the fasting month. So, continue to monitor the latest information on all official social media of the Tangerang City Government," he said.
