TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Agriculture Minister Amran Sulaiman said that the government’s market operation during Ramadan will also be done for a long term after Ramadan until the price gets stable.
"This market operation is not only done only in Ramadan but also after Ramadan but until we have a new market structure,” Amran said in Jakarta on Sunday during a market operation in Pasar Minggu, South Jakarta.
On that occasion, Agriculture Minister Amran Sulaiman and Industry Minister Saleh Husain attended a ‘cheap market’ operation held by Agriculture Ministry in Pasar Minggu and in Cipete Market in South Jakarta.
The cheap market operation was held to reduce the rising prices of commodities during Ramadan. During the operation, a number of basic commodities such as rice, onion, beef, shallot and sugar were sold at cheap prices.
