BENGKULU - The General Company Office of the Logistics Affairs Agency (Perum Bulog) Bengkulu Province requested that traders not mix rice for the Supply Stabilization and Food Price Program (SPHP). The Manager of SCPP Bulog Bengkulu Province, Irfan Arfian, said that his party also asked and reminded traders not to sell SPHP rice above the Highest Retail Price (HET). "We remind traders not to change their packaging, let alone mix it with other rice, thus affecting the quality of medium type rice which is the SPHP Program," he said in Bengkulu City, Antara, Tuesday, February 14. He reminded that the sale of rice which is the SPHP Program through outlets of our Food House (RPK) was under the supervision of the police. In addition, his party also encourages all people in Bengkulu to help in supervising the distribution of the SPHP type rice. Meanwhile, the Bengkulu Provincial Government (Pemprov) ensures that the availability of rice in the community is sufficient until the religious celebration of Eid/Idul Fitri 1444 Hijriah. The following is the availability of rice located in the Bengkulu Bulog Building, namely for medium-type rice as much as 521.65 tons, premium rice around 12.61 tons, and currently 3,328 tons of medium rice on the way to Bengkulu. In addition to rice, the availability of other community needs is also available, such as flour around 7,88 tons and sugar, which is 40,04 tons. "With the availability of premium and medium rice, it is estimated that it will be sufficient for the people of Bengkulu to Idul Fitri," said Irfan.
