JAKARTA - Sungai Budi Group also reduces sugar prices by conducting market operations in various markets in the DKI Jakarta area. It is known, the price of granulated sugar in a number of markets has spiked over Rp 17 thousand per kilo gram.

Sungai Budi Group Marketing John Adrian said the market operations for today were carried out in Cengkareng and Kebayoran Lama Markets, with a total of 5 tons of sugar.

"We are selling the price of sugar to the public at Rp 12,500 per kilo gram," said John in a statement received by VOI, Friday, March 20.

John hopes that the sales of sugar at Rp 12,500 per kilo gram can be followed by traders in the market by selling the commodity according to the reference price at the consumer level.

"The government has set the lowest cool price of Rp 12,500 per kilo. So our hope is that traders in the market do not sell more than that price," he said.

The sugar producer with the Rose Brand label will hold a market operation for one month in collaboration with the Food Task Force at the Police Headquarters and the Ministry of Trade.

"We plan to operate the market for one month, tomorrow at Petojo Market and Kramat Jati. But when prices are stable, we will stop," said John.

In selling sugar during market operations, said John, the company limits 2 kilo grams for one person. This is done to avoid the practice of reselling.
