According to the Dandim, specifically for rice commodities, Kodim 0721/Blora is collaborating with Perum Bulog to provide rice stocks at affordable prices for the community.

A similar policy applies to eggs, which are sold at Rp 22,000 per kilogram. This price is expected to help people meet their daily food needs.
In addition to helping people obtain basic necessities at affordable prices, the bazaar also serves as a means to support and introduce MSME products.

Lieutenant Colonel Kav Yudhi Agus Setiyanto added that the cheap bazaar was part of a series of activities to commemorate the 81st anniversary of the TNI and the 76th anniversary of the IV/Diponegoro Military Command.
A number of other activities have also been prepared, including sports activities and competitions.
