Market operations were conducted in 12 traditional markets spread across five West Java regencies/cities: Cirebon Regency, Indramayu Regency, Majalengka Regency, Subang Regency, and Cirebon City.
In this market operation, RNI sold sugar at Rp12,500 per kilogram (kg), while the current market price of sugar has touched Rp18,000 per kg.
“We have sufficient sugar that is ready to be distributed to help the public obtain sugar at a lower price,” stated RNI President Director Didik Prasetyo, in his official statement in Jakarta on Saturday (4/6/2016).
PT RNI prepared 100 tons of sugar in the market operation, supplied by four Sugar Mills (PGs): PG Sindanglaut, PG Tersana Baru, PG Jatitujuh, and PG Subang.
These PGs are owned by the PT PG Rajawali II Cirebon which is a subsidiary of PT RNI. To prevent abuse, each member of the public may only purchase a maximum of three kg of sugar.
The 12 (twelve) locations where the Market Operation will be carried out are spread across several regions as follows:
Cirebon Regency will operate in Karangsuwung Market, Lemahabang Market, Pabuaran Market, and Babakan Market.
Cirebon City will operate in Morning Market, Kali Tanjung Market, and Perumnas Market. Market operations will be carried out in Tukdana Market and Pasar Amis in Indramayu Regency. Meanwhile, in Majalengka Regency, the operation will take place in Jatitujuh Market.
As for Subang Regency, the market operation will take place in Purwadadi Market and Cikaum Market.
Didik added that, as a State-Owned Enterprise operating in the sugar industry, RNI is more responsible in joining the government’s efforts to stabilize the price of sugar, which will soon increase in the lead up to Ramadan.
