INFOKU, BLORA -Blora Regional Enterprise (BUMD), PT. Blora Patragas Hulu (BPH) held a cheap food movement in the BPH office yard, Tuesday 26 March 2024.
Some of the basic necessities sold are rice IDR 51 thousand/5 kg, eggs IDR 26 thousand/kg, sugar IDR 15 thousand/kg, and cooking oil IDR 15 thousand/kg.
The Main Director of PT Blora Patragas Hulu, Heri Slamet Haryadi, explained that the cheap market was held in three locations.
First in front of the BPH Blora office, then on March 31 in the Sentono Menden Cave Tourism area, and finally on April 1 2024 at Wora-Wari Ngloram Market. Held from 08.00 WIB until finished.
This cheap market, said Heri, is a form of his party's concern for the community amidst the increasing prices of basic necessities, so his party is trying to subsidize prices.

“We collaborate with various parties. One of them is Bulog," he added.
In each cheap market, two tons of basic necessities will be provided for each. In this way, people's purchasing power increases, thereby reducing inflation.
Even though it is open to it, said Heri, the target market is cheap, but it still prioritizes poor people.
People who buy are limited to only two kilograms of sugar, oil, eggs and 10 kg of rice per person.
So that there are no middlemen who take advantage of buying up sambako.
Dewi Rukmini, a resident of Tegalgunung Village, Blora District, is happy with this cheap bazaar.
"It's nice to have cheap rice, cooking oil, cheap eggs and sugar, because it can help a little. "The price is cheaper than the market price," said Dewi. (Endah/ IST )
