Coordinating Minister for Food Affairs Zulkifli Hasan (Zulhas) revealed that until now his party is still discussing regulations that require rice milling to have official business permits from the government.
Because it is still being discussed, Zulkifli Hasan ensured that this rule was not final because it needed to be discussed with other Ministries/Institutions (K/L) such as the Ministry of Agriculture, the National Food Agency, Bulog to the Food Task Force.
"So, we are having an intense meeting, yes, with related parties, both with the Ministry of Agriculture, Bapanas, Bulog, Task Force (Pangan) yes. It's not fair that the subsidy rice is purchased by a large industry solely to make a profit," he told the media crew quoted on Saturday, August 16.
According to him, the practice carried out by large rice mills often kills small milling businesses. For this reason, the government decided to require ownership of business licenses in order to control the price of rice produced from milling.

"So many small people's industries, one stands to kill hundreds of thousands of rice factories. Well, we will arrange this, but this is not final yet," he said.
Zulhas said that his party was still able to hold a coordination meeting to be reported to President Prabowo Subianto. Later Zulhas will also report the specified price to the president. This policy is expected to take effect at the end of this year.
"By the end of the year," he said.
