JAKARTA - The availability of rice in DKI Jakarta is ensured to be in a safe condition. As of April 26, 2026, the stock at the Cipinang Rice Wholesale Market (PIBC) was recorded at 47,449 tons.
The volume is considered sufficient to support community needs, even though the movement of rice in and out of the main market is still high every day.
The President Director of PT Food Station Tjipinang Jaya (Perseroda), Dodot Tri Widodo, said that the distribution of rice at the PIBC was still under control.
"Based on our records, the rice stock at the PIBC is still at a safe level. As of April 26, 2026, it reached 47,449 tons, with an average of 2,500 tons of rice entering and leaving per day," said Dodot, Tuesday, April 28.
Food Station as a DKI Jakarta food BUMD also continues to increase market intervention to maintain price stability. One of them is through the cheap market program which is held regularly every day at four points.
In the program, a number of basic necessities are sold at affordable prices, ranging from rice at the highest retail price (HET), cooking oil, sugar, flour, to chicken eggs.
On the supply side, Food Station ensures that stocks for subsidized food programs are also in a safe condition. The company relies on cooperation with the producer areas to maintain the continuity of supply.
"We ensure that the rice stock for the subsidized food program is safe. Food Station has worked with a number of groups of farmers (gapoktan), milling, and business actors in the producer areas to supply rice raw materials," he said.
Stabilization efforts are also carried out through collaboration with Perum Bulog in distributing rice for the Food Supply and Price Stabilization (SPHP) program.
Rice distribution is carried out through various channels, ranging from the Merah Putih Cooperative, FoodHub, to grocery traders, in order to expand the reach to the community.
"This step is part of efforts to maintain the smooth distribution and stabilization of rice prices in Jakarta," he explained.
