Magelang - President Prabowo Subianto suddenly checked the Danurejo Bulog Warehouse, Magelang, Saturday, April 18, 2026. This check was carried out after a briefing to the leadership of the DPRD throughout Indonesia. The goal is to ensure that rice stocks are safe and distribution is not jammed.
Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya said the decision to conduct a survey was made directly by the President on his way home. Prabowo wants to see for himself the condition of food reserves in the field, not just receiving reports.
"The President suddenly asked to see the Bulog warehouse in Magelang or Yogyakarta. The President wants to ensure directly that our food reserves, especially rice, are in a safe condition and ready to be distributed to the community," said Teddy.
The Danurejo Bulog warehouse has two building units with a total capacity of 7,000 tons. Currently, all capacity is full. This condition is considered sufficient to support rice needs in the Magelang City and Regency areas in the near future.
However, the President did not only look at the number of stocks. He also emphasized that the quality of rice must be maintained and distribution must be timely and targeted.
"In addition to availability, the quality of rice must continue to be maintained, and its distribution must be timely and targeted so that the benefits are truly felt by the community," said Teddy.
This was done at a time of global pressure on food and energy, especially due to conflicts in the Middle East. The government wants to ensure that external impacts do not disrupt domestic supplies.
The government has confirmed that the national food reserves are in a safe condition and are ready to be mobilized when needed.
