JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Food Affairs Zulkifli Hasan claims that food supplies are safe despite demonstrations that have occurred in recent times.
"We'll see (the impact) later. God willing, if the food is smooth, yes," he told reporters at the Office of the Ministry of Home Affairs, Jakarta, Tuesday, September 2.
Zulhas, as he is familiarly called, also revealed that the government had asked Perum Bulog to accelerate the distribution of rice for the Supply Stabilization and Food Price (SPHP) program.
"I also conveyed earlier that Bulog and the regions should accelerate the distribution of SPHP 1.3 million. Not in the form of a bazaar, but into markets," he said.
Furthermore, Zulhas said he asked for the distribution to be carried out directly to traditional markets so that the absorption would be faster.

"If the bazaar takes a long time, yes, but if there are traditional markets in each sub-district, there are each district," he explained.
Currently, continued Zulhas, there are already 10,000 units of the Red and White Village Cooperative that have been running. Although he admits it is not complete.
"The acceleration of the Red and White Kopdes and the Red and White Village Cooperatives. Alhamdulillah, we are targeting 10,000, indeed we can reach 10,000, but the outlets are not complete. Because there is one more thing that we will finish so that later we can use the credit ceiling from Himbara," he said.
