Sugar prices increase post-Eid al-Fitr



`This is the highest price of sugar, particularly after Idul Fitri holiday. Currently there is no significant supply of sugar to the market, including imported sugar by state logistics company Perum Bulog, so prices are still high,` Chairman of the Indonesian Market Traders Association (IKAPPI), Abdullah Mansuri, stated when contacted by Antara, Thursday. Abdullah Mansuri noted that the price of white sugar currently ranges between Rp16,500 per kilogram at the trader level, while the imports by state logistics company Perum Bulog are deemed insufficient to reduce sugar prices in traditional markets. According to Abdullah, Indonesia has currently entered the grinding season, which means that the supply of sugar for consumers should increase and prices in the market should start to decline. However, even though demand has fallen since D plus 7 of Idul Fitri, the price of granulated sugar has not declined but rather increased. `If farmers' sugar enters the market, coupled with imported sugar from Bulog, the price should be lowered. At the very least, it should be kept at around Rp13,000 per kilogram. This is an indication that Bulog is unable to carry out appropriate dissemination or distribution,` Abdullah stated. According to Abdullah, state logistics company Perum Bulog should increase supply for consumers in the market and lower the price of sugar. Moreover, government supervision regarding the price hike of basic commodities, especially sugar, has been deemed minimal and has failed to resolve the root causes that continue to increase commodity prices. Apart from the price of sugar, Abdullah noted that the prices of several other commodities also remained high, including beef and shallots. With regard to beef, the government's move to import was also deemed less appropriate. `The government has not really looked into consumer preferences, as the imported frozen meat is not liked by consumers. Demand for the dish has also not been very high, similar to buffalo meat. Meanwhile, the price of shallots has jumped to Rp40,000 per kilogram, even though there should be a significant decline after Idul Fitri,` Abdullah noted. Some time ago, the government had assigned state logistics company Bulog to import 100,000 tons of granulated crystal sugar (GKP) to reduce market prices. However, the price of granulated sugar for consumers remains high. Based on data from the Ministry of Trade's Basic Necessities Market Monitoring System (SP2KP) on Thursday, the average price of sugar at the national level was around Rp16,269.59 per kilogram, while on the first day of Idul Fitri, the price stood at Rp16,053.92 per kilogram. Meanwhile, the price of shallots has risen quite high. On the first day of Idul Fitri, the price was around Rp40,607.84 per kilogram, while currently it has reached Rp42,977.72 per kilogram, an increase of 5.83 percent. When compared to the price two weeks before Idul Fitri, the increase has reached 16.11 percent from Rp37,031.15 per kilogram on Wednesday (June 22). As for beef, the price is currently at Rp115,143.77 per kilogram, although the government is targeting a price reduction to reach Rp80,000 per kilogram.
