JAKARTA - Acting Governor of West Java Beyvi Machmudin ensured that West Java rice reserves were safe until the end of 2023 following an additional 35 thousand tons of imported rice from Vietnam through Patimban Port in Subang Regency.
Bey said the total rice reserves in West Java until the end of 2023, were available around 50 thousand tons to meet the needs of the community, including during the 2023 Christmas and 2024 New Year holidays.
"InsyaAllah's reserves are safe, because we have imported rice in Patimban for 35 thousand tons. So the total is for the end of the year 50 thousand. Next year it will come again, so it is safe," said Bey in a statement in Bandung, Thursday, December 21, which was confiscated by Antara.
In addition, Bey also ensures that other commodities besides rice are also safe so that inflation at the end of 2023 is expected to remain under control.
"Other commodities are safe. Today is the harvest of chili at a good price, not high. Apart from availability, we also maintain prices so that inflation does not occur at the end of this year," he said.
The Department of Industry and Trade (Disperindag) of West Java Province continues to carry out various anticipations to control the prices of basic necessities.
In fact, the West Java Disperindag has prepared a budget of around Rp. 15 billion to anticipate an increase in the price of basic commodities in 2024.
