BP BUMN, an Indonesian public corporation management body, praised Bulog for absorbing 3.9 million tons of rice, 99 percent of its 4-million-ton goal, from domestic farmers.
Bulog manages the entire process of securing Indonesia’s food supply, from purchasing harvests to distributing rice to the public. The agency successfully purchased rice from 7.7 million tons of dry harvested grain and 35,800 tons of rice itself, providing price certainty to farmers and bolstering the national rice reserves.
Bulog also distributed over 810,000 tons of rice through the Food Supply and Price Stabilization program, achieving 98 percent of its target and helping keep rice affordable for consumers. The agency completed distribution of food assistance for February and March 2026 with a 99.7 percent receipt rate, delivering 662,000 tons of rice and 133,000 liters of cooking oil.
Currently, Bulog is distributing aid for July to September 2026, and has already distributed 68.44 percent of the allocated 997,000 tons of rice. The government has again tasked Bulog with distributing food assistance from October to December 2026, planning for another 997,000 tons of rice.
