Tangerang (Antara Bali) - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) admitted that the rice supplied by the State Logistics Agency Bulog was of poor quality as it was from an old stock.
While visiting BSD Citys modern market in South Tangerang on Monday, the President Jokowi received complaints from traders in the market about the inferior quality of rice from Bulog.
"The rice is actually of old stock and the quality is like that. We do not have to cover it up," the president stated when questioned about the complaints put forth by the rice traders.
The head of state vowed to improve the quality of rice supplied by Bulog by releasing new stocks.
"This month, Bulog will buy the rice from farmers and replace the old stocks with new ones. The old stocks were of poor quality, and we understand it," Jokowi remarked. (WDY)
