Perum Bulog has once more distributed the second phase of 10 kg rice food aid to 269,000 beneficiary families (KPM) in the DKI Jakarta area. This assistance comes from government rice reserves (CBP) which will begin to be distributed in May and June 2024.
“This morning, we started distributing food aid once more to the Jakarta area. This is the second stage of food aid in Jakarta. “The total number of beneficiary families is 269,000, so the DKI Regional Head will distribute approximately 2,690 tons of rice per month,” said Perum Bulog Main Director Bayu Krisnamurthi during an aid distribution activity in Pela Mampang Village, Jakarta, Friday (3/5).
He explained that the target recipients of 10 kg rice food aid in DKI Jakarta were West Jakarta around 67 thousand KPM, Central Jakarta 41 thousand KPM, North Jakarta 55 thousand KPM, South Jakarta 51 thousand KPM, and the Thousand Islands around 2,000 KPM. This assistance was supposed to be distributed over 3 months and began to be implemented last April. However, due to problems with data verification, distribution was postponed and completed in just two months.
“Phase two covers April, May, June. “But yesterday, because there was a data verification process and so on, we will do the three months in two calendar months, namely May and June,” explained Bayu.
Furthermore, Bayu said that overall the kg rice food aid would target 22 million KPM throughout Indonesia. This food assistance continues because currently the condition of rice, both in terms of stock and price, is relatively better compared to previous months.
