People Queue For Cheap Rice In West Java
People are carrying bags of 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, in contrast to market prices ranging from IDR 70,000 to IDR 90,000. This program is being implemented by the government as a measure to curb inflation amid a significant rise in rice prices, which the government 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.
