JAKARTA - The President Director of Perum Bulog Ahmad Rizal Ramdhani emphasized that strengthening national food security through stock security, absorption of farmers' rice, effective distribution and cross-sector synergy of the government on an ongoing basis is carried out, in anticipation of 2026.
"Bulog is present at every point of struggle to pick up grain with farmers and ensure price stabilization," Rizal said in his statement, quoted by Antara, Thursday, January 1.
He emphasized the commitment to strengthening national food stability as the main foundation for welcoming 2026.
This affirmation was conveyed in conjunction with the implementation of a joint prayer to welcome the New Year 2026 held by Bulog at the Al-Balag Mosque, Bulog Housing Complex, Pos Pengumben Jakarta, on Wednesday, December 31.
He said that 2025 was a period of great challenges for his party in carrying out the government's strategic assignments in the food sector.
However, he emphasized that the spirit of togetherness of the food BUMN people was the main key in answering various challenges, ranging from picking up grain together with farmers to maintaining the stability of national food prices.
He said that throughout 2025, Bulog was actively ensuring the absorption of farmers' harvest, distributing food assistance to the community, and monitoring distribution to maintain availability and affordability.
In addition, it is also involved in distributing assistance to disaster-affected communities and is an important part of supporting the smooth running of various strategic policies of the state in the field of food.
In this activity, Rizal invited all his ranks to close 2025 with gratitude for the hard work that has been done, as well as looking at 2026 with stronger spirit and determination.
He emphasized that 2026 would present greater tasks and responsibilities, so that organizational readiness, internal solidity, and cross-sectoral synergy were needed.
The joint prayer activity was attended directly by Ahmad Rizal Ramdhani and his family, Bulog employees and a number of orphans, as a form of solidarity and social concern ahead of the new year.
As part of the series of activities, Bulog also provided compensation to orphans, reflecting the company's commitment to cultivating humanitarian values and social concern.
Rizal hopes that through joint prayer, his party can enter 2026 with optimism, strengthen its role as a supporter of national food stability, and continue to support the welfare of farmers and the people of Indonesia.
