At the moment.
Indeed, the Ombudsman does not specify the market conditions that make milling entrepreneurs worried, but currently the rice business is currently being hit by a case of mixed rice to the end of a legal case against several producers.
“What is striking in the grinding, we ngubek-ngubek in a sub-district of the name around the tempuran. Those are some rice milling, there are 23 rice milling in the region and 10 has been closed,” said Indonesian Ombudsman member Yeka Heka Fatika in a press conference at the Ombudsman Building, South Jakarta, Friday (8/8).
“What is the cause of the lid? Besides competition, also because of the current conditions, there is fear,” he added.
The Ombudsman conducted a sudden inspection (sudden inspection) from upstream to downstream chain of fuel supply, ranging from farmers, rice milling, traders, to Bulog Perum.As a result, rice stock is running low to the potential for rare.
At the milling rate, Yeka found that the average stock was only 5-10 percent of the normal capacity.For example, grinding which usually stores 100 tons now only has about 5 tons.
Scarcity of stock also occurs on a large scale.According to Yeka, there is a mill that usually stores 30 thousand tons now only 2 thousand tons left or around 7.5 percent.
Some of the 5,000 tons now only have 200 tons.Similar findings were seen in the market, such as in Johar Market, Karawang, which is now empty of buyers since 10:00 in the morning.
The Ombudsman also checked the supply of rice in modern retail and found an empty rice rack, even some have been changed to bottled water shelves.
Yeka predicts that this scarcity will continue until the beginning of next year if there are no fast mitigation steps, considering that the price of grain at the farm level is currently around Rp7,500-Rp8,200 per kilogram, above the highest retail price (HET).
In addition to the thinning stock, Yeka revealed other obstacles, namely the quality of some Bulog rice that did not meet the provisions of the National Food Agency (Perbadan) Regulation Number 2 of 2023 concerning Quality Requirements and Rice Labels.Some of the rice was imported in February 2024 and was more than one year old.
“There is a year old, huh? February 2024, so it’s been more than a year. Automatically, sorry, sorry, the smell of the label quality, business actors are prohibited from processing or also using musty rice as raw material for rice trading,” he said.
The Ombudsman recommends Bapanas temporarily postponed the application of the number 2 of 2023 related to the quality of rice so that the stock of Bulog can be released to the market, including rice that smells musty but can still be processed again.
According to Yeka, this step is urgent to be carried out so that the availability of rice in the market is back to normal.
