BOGOR Bogor Regency Government (Pemkab) through the Department of Trade and Industry (Disdagin) has tightened supervision of the circulation of staples, especially rice, following the rise of adulterated rice issues in a number of regions.
To anticipate this, Disdagin has coordinated with Perum Bulog and Perumda Tohaga to ensure the quality and safety of foodstuffs consumed by the public.
Head of the Bogor Regency Disdagin, Arif Rahman, said that until now there has not been any circulation of mixed rice in the markets in the Bogor Regency area.
"Until now, there have been no reports or findings related to mixed rice in the markets in Bogor Regency," said Arif, Thursday, July 17.
However, he emphasized that supervision will still be carried out regularly in traditional and modern markets. The goal is to ensure that the distribution chain runs smoothly and is free from fraudulent practices.
"This step is also a form of anticipation and prevention from an early age so that public trust in food distribution is maintained," he said.
