"People don't worry, we guarantee that the demand for rice is available in the community at affordable prices, even though in the market there is a slight price increase," he said.
He also explained that his party continues to carry out monitoring based on records, the price of rice only experienced a slight increase due to the increase in fuel prices and entering the gadu season.
