State Logistics Agency President Director Ahmad Rizal Ramdhani confirmed the country's readiness to distribute rice food aid from July to September 2026 to support food security and safeguard the welfare of beneficiaries.
"Oh yes, this assistance is ongoing. We're waiting for the assignment from Bapanas," Rizal said after the Coordination Meeting on Preparation for the Implementation of the Premium Government Rice Reserve Processing .
He confirmed that Bulog is ready to distribute rice food aid during the period after the government's assignment and official budget support are issued.
Rizal stated that although Bulog has a rice stock of around 5.4 million tons, distribution cannot begin until the Ministry of Finance approves the additional budget allocation (ABT).
