"The Papua Provincial Government is committed to continuously maintaining price stability and food availability for the community. Through this Affordable Food Movement, we are not only helping people obtain staple goods at affordable prices, but also suppressing inflation and strengthening the role of farmers and local business actors. Going forward, we will continue to encourage activities like this so that the benefits can be felt more widely by the community," the Deputy Governor said.

Public enthusiasm was high during the activity. One resident of Organda Housing Complex, Mrs. Klemen, expressed her appreciation for the implementation of the Affordable Food Movement.

"We are very grateful to the Papua Provincial Government for bringing this Affordable Food Movement here. It has really helped us because we can buy necessities at low prices without having to spend money on transportation. We hope activities like this will be held often to help underprivileged communities. We are also grateful to have been able to meet the Deputy Governor in person," she said.

Through this activity, the Papua Provincial Government reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining people's purchasing power, strengthening food distribution, and building cross-sector synergy to realize sustainable welfare for the people of Papua. ***
