JAKARTA - The Minister of Trade (Mendag) Budi Santoso opened his voice regarding the news that beef traders had fallen or went out of business.
He said there had been no reports related to the phenomenon.
Therefore, Budi admitted that he would check directly to confirm the truth of the information.
"Ah, who says? We often monitor the market every day, there's no problem. We'll check later. But so far there's no problem, there's no report, friends (trade) okay," he said when met at Balai Kartini, Jakarta, Tuesday, August 12.
Furthermore, Budi also said that so far there has been no problem with the price of basic necessities, including beef.
"The price of goods is also not a problem. Meat is also okay, there is no problem," he said.
Previously, the general chairman of the Indonesian Meat Traders Association (APDI) Asnawi revealed that many beef traders had gone out of business.
They changed professions by selling other merchandise.
According to Asnawi, one of the reasons why beef traders go out of business is because people's purchasing power is sluggish and has an impact on the lack of markets.
In addition, demand for beef is also reduced. Meanwhile, the supply is quite abundant.
"The demand is low, but the availability of stock or supply is abundant. That is the cause," said Asnawi.
