Dream - Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Erick Thohir revealed the cause of rice scarcity and the resulting price increase. According to Erick, the prices of food commodities worldwide are currently rising. This also triggers a rise in rice prices in Indonesia.
"He sees that the price of rice is expensive not only happening in the homeland, but also in several other countries that are also in need of rice supplies."
"If the price of rice rises worldwide, indeed the price of food is increasing worldwide."
Erick Thohir said when reviewing rice sales at Ramayana Klender, Jakarta, quoted from Liputan6.com, Monday, February 12, 2024.
Then, one of the factors that affects the expensive price of rice is the escalating global geopolitical condition.
"For that reason, the government is taking stabilization measures by once again flooding the market with stock."
"So this dynamic does happen. Yes, of course the government anticipated it earlier, we flooded the market again, but of course it's up to the people to choose what type of rice they want to buy, according to their individual needs."
word Erick.
"Furthermore, according to him, the government is also continuously implementing a food assistance program that targets 22 million families. In that program, 10 kilograms (kg) of food are distributed per family."
"Well, that's why the government continues to provide assistance such as 22 million with families being assisted through a program called food assistance of 10 kilograms, and we continue to implement it. Other countries don't have it, even the government provides energy subsidies amounting to Rp 540 trillion for electricity and fuel," he explained."
