Jakarta, CNN Indonesia – President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) ordered Minister of Commerce Agus Suparmanto to guarantee availability and adequacystaples when Ramadan.

The order is necessary because the current situation is not normal after the announcement of two Indonesian citizens positively infected with the corona virus.

"The supply must be sufficient. It will soon be confronted with the name of Ramadan. Caution loh it is. The supply needs concern not only industry, but also consumption, "said Jokowi at the State Palace in Jakarta, Wednesday (4/3).



He said that for the availability of food during Ramadan to be sufficient, the Ministry of Commerce must calculate in detail the amount of supply and the needs of the community. Calculations must be made so that there is no shortage of food when the holy month arrives.
"It is close to fasting, so the supply of goods must also be sufficient. Be careful, count. It is for the garlic, meat, sugar business," Jokowi explained.

Jokowi didn't want people to panic about the lack of food. In addition, the public is currently panicking after the government announced that two Indonesian citizens had been positively attacked by the corona virus.

A number of people buy commodities in large quantities at retail stores. The Association of Indonesian Retailers (Aprindo) noted an increase in the number of visitors to retail stores from around 10% to 15% Monday (2/3) yesterday.

"People are already concerned about the corona virus, don't worry anymore because there is no stock of goods (during Ramadan). It is dangerous. Please do not work on a regular basis", pointed out Jokowi.

In addition, Jokowi also warned that the corona virus could have an impact on inflation. If the availability of the offer is lacking, the selling price will automatically increase on the market.

"Inflation has been maintained for the past five years, so don't get distracted because of it (corona virus). Garlic alone contributes to a small amount of inflation" said Jokowi.

The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) recorded in February 2020 inflation of 0.28% per month (month-to-month / mtm). Inflation fell 0.39% from January 2020.

While inflation for the current year (year-to-date / ytd) 0.66%. Whereas on an annual basis (year-on-year / year), it reached 2.98% in February 2020.

MPP for Distribution and Services Statistics, BPS, Yunita Rusanti, said that the highest share of inflation came from the food, beverage and tobacco group of 0.25%, the 39; inflation reaching 0.95%.

"The basic products that contribute to inflation are garlic with a share of 0.09%, red chilli 0.06%, broiler chicken and oranges each 0.02%", said Yunita.

He said the increase in the price of garlic, which has contributed to national inflation, was due to the epidemic of corona virus. This disrupts the distribution of garlic, which reduces supply and drives up the price of garlic in Indonesia. (aud / agt)
