Jakarta – The Indonesian President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) ensured that rice reserve stocks are controlled so that the rice price is still in stability even though the harvest season experienced setbacks due to the El Nino phenomenon.

"We can control it because Bulog's current stock is also very good at the end of last year, still at 1.4 million tons and this will be added to strategic reserves so we are truly safe because the harvest will be delayed," the President said in a statement after visiting Purworejo market, Central Java Province on Tuesday. 

The President stated that rice prices in all countries have increased due to climate change and the El Nino phenomenon. However, the Head of State said that the increase in rice prices in Indonesia was not as drastic as in other countries.

"There was climate change and super El Nino, then 22 countries stopped exporting their rice, so there was a shock to rice prices and food prices in the world," President Jokowi remarked.

"Everyone, all countries are experiencing this, but in our country, the increase is not as drastic as other countries," he added. 

In addition to rice, the President also reviewed the prices of other staple foods such as chilies. However, he said that the price of chilies in the market had decreased from the previous high chili prices.

"Yesterday, it increased very high, cayenne pepper was up to IDR 120,000. I last saw it in Jakarta, now it has dropped here to IDR 70,000 which is very good I think, everything else is the same," President Jokowi concluded.
