This activity provides a low-cost market, which contains rice, cooking oil, and sugar and is enlivened by the presence of the BAzar MSME assisted by TASPEN in the form of food, drinks, and other processing to break the fast. Through this activity, it is hoped that it can ease the community in meeting basic needs and other supporting needs during the month of Ramadan, as well as become an active manifestation of the company in getting closer to the community.

TASPEN Corporate Secretary Yoka Krisma Wijaya said this event was the result of a collaboration between TASPEN and a mandate from the Ministry of SOEs to contribute to providing cheap basic necessities for the community.

"TASPEN provides thousands of food packages in the hope of easing the burden on our brothers and sisters. TASPEN will continue to contribute directly to the community through various corporate actions that are close to people's daily lives," he said in a written statement, Thursday, March 29.
