Beef Import Delayed Due to Permit Matter

Bogor (Antara Bali) - The State Logistics Agency (Bulog) has delayed to import beef this year due to the difficulty of getting permit, according to State-Owned Enterprises Minister Dahlan Iskan.

Iskan said here on Saturday that his office actually hoped the imported beef could have arrived before the Ramadhan holy month on July 10.

He added Bulog had actually proposed permit on April or three months before Ramadhan. "But the permit did not come out quickly. The permit was just issued nearly Ramadhan," he said. (*/M038)
