“The rice assistance will be 10 kilograms per month for two months, so 20 kilograms per family. But we're aiming to deliver the full amount in one shot to save on distribution costs,” Adi added.
He confirmed the aid is aimed at groups in deciles 1 to 7, meaning it’s targeted at those most in need.
“We’re aiming to start deliveries by the end of June, prioritizing remote regions such as Eastern Indonesia and 3TP areas (underdeveloped, frontier, outermost, and border regions),” he stated.
Adi also conveyed that the government aims for at least 95 percent of the aid to be delivered by mid-July.
“Our target service level by mid-July is to exceed 95 percent distribution,” he said.
This rice aid program is also expected to have positive effects on the national economy, helping to push economic growth toward 5 percent and maintain people’s purchasing power.
As of now, Bulog holds more than 4 million tons of government rice reserves (CBP), and domestic rice procurement has already exceeded 80 percent of the 3-million-ton target.
With this strong stock position, the government is confident it can continue implementing various rice-related intervention programs moving forward.
