Kupastuntas.co, Bandar Lampung - The Lampung Regional Logistics Agency Public Company (Perum Bulog) targets to distribute 40 thousand tons of rice through market operations or the Food Supply and Price Stabilization program in 2023.

Head of Perum Bulog Regional Division of Lampung, Etik Yulianti said, in order to stabilize the price of rice, her party continues to pour rice every day to traditional markets and several rice shops.

"The Bulog rice that we pour out every day will last until the end of the year. And this is not only in Bandar Lampung but throughout Lampung Province. We have 18,000 tons of stock ourselves and will continue to increase with the absorption of grain," said Etik, Monday (13/2/2023).

Even Bulog Lampung will also directly go down to the sub-districts to be able to distribute rice at affordable prices so that it is directly accepted by the community.

"We will also go directly to the people in the sub-district, so we will gather them in one place like what was done yesterday at Sukadana Ham. So we will go directly to the community," She continued.

She explained, the market operation will be carried out until the end of the year with the hope that the increase in rice prices can continue to be suppressed.

"We will continue to do this, because it is not yet harvest time, people's stocks are also thin," She explained. (*)
