People Queue For Cheap Rice In West Java
People are lining up to buy coupons for cheap rice from the government's Food Price Control Stabilization program in Bekasi, West Java, on February 27, 2024. The Indonesian government is conducting a market operation by distributing rice at a subsidized price of IDR 53,000 for a 5kg bag, while the market price for rice is between IDR 70,000 and IDR 90,000. The government is carrying out this program in an effort to curb inflation amid a significant rise in rice prices, which it attributes to the impact of El Nino, leading to scarce rice stocks in the market and causing prices of other basic necessities to increase nationally.
