JAYAPURA - The Papua Provincial Government appealed to the residents to be wise in shopping, to reduce inflation ahead of the fasting month which starts on March 10, 2024.
This was conveyed by the Acting Assistant II of the Papua Regional Secretary, Suzana Wanggai, in Jayapura City, Friday (1/3/2024).
"We urge us to be wise in shopping, even though the rice stocks are available, we must be wise. This means that we only buy the things we need at that time, not as we want, let alone hoard," explained Suzana.
Suzana said that her party and related agencies had carried out market operations to reduce inflation.
Nevertheless, the role of citizens is also needed to reduce inflation ahead of Eid.
Among them, planting chili in the yard of the house, so that the selling price of the commodity can be normal during Eid.
In addition, the residents are also asked to use local food as the main food.
"Don't we just make Papeda as a snack but must be able to make it as the main food," she said.
Meanwhile, the Papua Provincial Government together with the Papua Central Agency of Statistics held an Official Statistical News at the Papua Communication and Information Office.
The activity was attended by Papua Assistant Secretary Suzana Wanggai, the head of Papua Communication and Informatics, Jeri Yudianto, and the Head of Papua Central Agency of Statistics, Adriana Carolina Helena. ***
