Bulog Safeguards Quality of 4.6 Million Tonnes of Government Rice Reserves Ahead of Year-End Holidays
Bulog maintains the quality of 4.6 million tonnes of government rice reserves across a 6.7-million-tonne warehouse network ahead of the year-end holiday season.
Bulog, Indonesia's state logistics agency, is working to preserve the quality of approximately 4.6 million tonnes of government rice reserves (Cadangan Beras Pemerintah, CBP) across its nationwide warehouse network ahead of the year-end holiday season. In a published interview, Bulog president director Ahmad Rizal Ramdhani said the stock, recorded at 4.56 million tonnes in management reporting dated 29 October, is being maintained through warehouse management, rice quality inspections, and control of storage conditions across the archipelago.
The agency operates a total warehouse capacity of 6.7 million tonnes, comprising 3.2 million tonnes of operational facilities and 3.5 million tonnes of leased and branch storage, with occupancy of roughly 70 percent and about 2 million tonnes of space still available. Distribution of CBP stocks from January to 28 October reached 2.88 million tonnes. Quality checks, including at leased warehouses, remain largely manual, with rice inspected bag by bag amid current extreme weather conditions. The stock figures were independently reported by BCA Sekuritas/IQPlus.
