THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AROUND the Land Market, Kebumen Regency welcome the arrival of President Jokowi and Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo, Thursday, March 9. Jokowi greeted while distributing business capital and basic necessities to traders.

Arriving at the location at around 12.30 WIB, the President immediately greeted the traders on the outside of the market. When entering the area inside the market, people who are already waiting are immediately scrambling to get closer.

Ganjar Pranowo, who was accompanying him, could not be separated from the attention. Elementary school students who stood around the stall immediately called Ganjar enthusiastically. "Sir, Mr. Ganjar salim sir," shouted the children.

Even so with the mothers. They were hysterical and did not expect the number one person in Indonesia and in Central Java to come to the market that afternoon. There, both Ganjar and Jokowi seemed to be talking about the price of food commodities. Bras karo minyak or regane?," asked Ganjar to a number of traders.

"Going down, sir. The cayenne pepper is IDR 65 thousand. The retail bulk oil is IDR 14 thousand," said a trader.

The Land Market is the last point for President Joko Widodo's visit to Kebumen Regency. Previously, the President was accompanied by Ganjar to participate in the rice harvest in Lajer Village and the Regional-Based Shrimp Cultivation Camp (BUBK) in Tegalretno Village, Pelandan District.

"Mr. President always gives checks on the prices of basic necessities in the market," said Ganjar after releasing President Jokowi to Solo.

Ganjar said the President showed his attention to the people, especially farmers and traders. Evidently during the main harvest, the President discussed a scheme to determine the most profitable prices for farmers and the community.

"Earlier we met with community members in the market to ensure that prices and basic necessities were guaranteed and stable," he said.
