Buy Rice Limited to 10 Kg in Modern Retail, Bulog Director Says Enough for a Month

Dream - President Director of Perum Bulog, Bayu Krisnamurthi, also responded to the restriction on rice purchases in modern retail stores such as supermarkets. Bayu believes that the policy of purchasing rice in 2 packages of Supply and Price Stabilization (SPHP), each weighing 5 kg per transaction, is sufficient to meet the consumption needs of one family in a month.

"Is it true that 10 kg can be finished in 2 weeks? I don't think so. If it's for a family of 3-4 people, 10 kg can last for a month," said Bayu at the Perum Bulog Office in Jakarta, quoted from Liputan6.com, Tuesday, February 13, 2024."

Bayu is saying that a weight of 10 Kg is sufficient to meet the monthly needs because not all family members eat at home.

"Moreover, you often work and don't eat at home, right? So buying 10 kg is actually not limited at all if it's only for your own consumption."

As known, the distribution of SPHP rice has been expanded to modern retail and entered Ramayana, Indomaret, Alfamart, Hypermart, Lotte, and Super Indo. However, the purchase is limited to a maximum of 2 packs weighing a total of 10 kg at a maximum price of Rp10,900 per kg.

"Why should it be limited? This is because the price of SPHP rice has been set by the government at Rp 10,900 per Kg and logically every household only needs 2 packs. Moreover, this SPHP Bulog rice is of premium quality,""

Head of the National Food Agency Arief Prasetyo Adi stated in his statement, Tuesday, October 3, 2023.

Arief asserts that the purchase is limited only to SPHP rice. Meanwhile, the availability of premium rice depends on the policy of each retail store.

"\u201cFor the type of rice that is limited to 2 packs in retail markets, it only applies to SPHP rice from Bulog. As for commercial rice, it depends on each retailer's policy," he emphasized."

The availability of premium rice in the market has recently become a highlight. This is because the stock of premium rice is now seen to be decreasing, to the extent that it is widely mentioned that rice is currently scarce. It is known that the cause of the decrease in the stock of premium rice is the delayed harvest.
