JAKARTA - President Director of Perum Bulog Ahmad Rizal Ramdhani inspects the DKI Jakarta & Banten Bulog Rice Warehouse on Jalan Pelepah Raya, Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta.

In his review, Ahmad Rizal explained a number of efforts made by Perum Bulog in maintaining the quality of rice from pests and ticks that will be distributed to the public.

One of the efforts made was to maintain the Bulog rice warehouse. First, Bulog carried out daily maintenance of warehouses and rice.

"Every day there are warehouse officers who carry out their duties, first is the task of opening every morning. This warehouse has two doors, the front and rear doors, the in door and the exit door. It is opened every morning no later than 08.00, then it will be closed at 16.00," said Rizal at the location, Saturday, September 6.

The officers also checked the warehouse and rice. "

The warehouse officer carries out routine warehouse and rice checks. He (the officer) cleans here, cleans every day, both the sectors whose halls and sectors beside him include those around him. What is the goal? To visually check and at the same time provide certainty that our rice is safe," he explained.

Next, officers make observations and visually of warehouses and rice. According to Rizal, officers can sometimes make visual observations to the top of rice piles.

"To make sure that the rice above is also safe. We are afraid that if someone apologizes for the leaking roof and so on, we need to check it. So that no one drops in the water and so on," he said.

"So, ensuring that the condition of the warehouse is completely sterile, clean and really convincing that the rice is in good health and safe," he continued.

After that, said Rizal, officers will make daily reports. "We make daily reports, then this is an example of cleaning activities and so on," he said.

The next effort is the weekly maintenance of warehouses and rice.

Ahmad Rizal said there were four things that officers did. For example, carrying out weekly evaluations with the warehouse head, cleaning the general rice warehouse sector, visual observations of warehouses and quality of rice as well as making weekly reports.

"This is because the survey and pest eradication service team (Jastasma) will carry out routine spraying in warehouse buildings. So, what is being offered is the building starting from the floor, the walls even up to the warehouse yard," he said.

In this case, the officers sprayed drugs to anticipate the entry of ticks into rice.

"Well, this is Jastasma spraying all the medicines, here. This is what we do every month, every warehouse we spray," he explained.

After spraying, said Rizal, the officers carried out a monthly evaluation with the head of the warehouse and operational manager.

"As well as making reports about the level of pest attacks. Which warehouses do you think are the most vulnerable to being attacked by pests? Well, after this spraying, we will observe again," he said.

However, after spraying, there are indications of a name attack, he continued, officers will carry out fumigation.

"Well, the fumigation controls using fumigant-type pesticides in an underwater room, with doses, time and temperature and certain pressures," he added.
