JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Food, Maritime and Agricultural Security Service (KPKP) noted that the price of chicken in Jakarta can currently reach IDR 90 thousand per head.

Head of the DKI Jakarta KPKP Agency, Suharini Eliawati, said that in anticipating the soaring price of chickens in the market, her party implemented a 4K strategy, namely affordability, availability, distribution and effective communication to the public.

For affordability, said Elly, his party carried out market operations for five consecutive days, from Monday, July 10 to Friday, July 14 yesterday.

"This activity will certainly affect the price of chickens in the market, because we sell at affordable prices for the community," said Eli in his statement, Sunday, July 16.

Then for availability and distribution, the DKI KPKP Office synergizes with Perumda Dharma Jaya. The number of needs and needs of chickens is calculated per day. Once the number is known, Perumda Dharma Jaya will prepare cooperation with outsiders for distribution supply.

"I assure you, the stock of the availability of cut chicken is currently still in a safe condition. Because Dharma Jaya is also still cooperating with the surrounding areas for the availability of chickens," he said.

In addition to cut chicken, the stock prepared by Dharma Jaya is also in the form of a frozen stock stored in a refrigerator.

Furthermore, Eli said that his party also conducted socialization to the public regarding the increase in the price of chickens. For example, the public needs to know that every fillet or boneless chicken price is much more expensive than a complete cut chicken, because only the meat is sold.

"People must differentiate between fillet chicken and chicken whole," he added.
