Bisnis.com, JAKARTA – After Idul Fitri, the price of some food products is starting to catch up. The symptoms of the biggest increase in the past month have occurred in meat products and chicken eggs, and in cayenne pepper.
According to data from the Traditional Traders' Association (Ikappi), the price of red pepper, meat and chicken eggs in the market reaches 67,000 rupees / kg, 38,000 rupiahs / kg and 28,000 rupees / kg.
In fact, the reference price set by the Ministry of Commerce is only 32 000 rupiahs / kg for red pepper and chicken pepper, and 22 000 rupees / kg for chicken eggs .
President Ikappi Abdullah Mansuri explains, the most significant increase indeed occurs in red pepper products. On the basis of the Note on National Strategic Food Prices (PIHPS), the price of spiced products Tuesday (12/6/2018) is 46.400 Rp / kg, but from Tuesday (10/7/2018), he jumped to 56,850 Rp / kg.
He stated that the price rises that plummeted have caused many traders to start reducing their sales offer up to 50%.
"Yes logically, if the trader only has 1 million Rp to buy 1 kuital [cabai rawit] when the price doubles, his purchasing power will decrease and sales will decrease," he said. Bisnis.com
He warned that the price of red chili, which is quite expensive, still has the potential to increase even more and redeem the level of Rp90,000 / kg. The reason is a decrease in production in some centers such as Lumajang, Banyuwangi, Bondowoso and Situbondo.
In response to the increase in prices of chicken meat, the price of animal protein on the market is relatively stable
"If the price of live chickens in Jabodetabek is 23,000 Rp / kg. the price on the market remain multiplied by only 1.6, so about Rp35,000 / kg-Rp40,000 / kg, "he said.
According to him, the cause of the increase in prices of chicken meat is a reduction of 10%. In addition, the ban on the use of antibiotic growth promoter (AGP) prolongs the duration of production and slows the growth of live chicken stock.
However, Sugeng believes that the stock problem and the price of chicken meat will soon be solved. "In addition, the Ministry of Commerce visited and see the problems in the cages.In 1965, Enny Sri Hartati, director of the Institute for Development of Economy and Finance (Indiaf), explained that the volatility of food prices was indeed an annual cycle due to mismanagement of stocks and mismanagement.
The problem, he argues, is the cause of a strong trend in food prices. Inflation in the middle of the year is never over .In fact, rising food prices will drive up other products.
"Unexpected indeed, the l & # 39; 39, the effect of domination, one [komoditas harganya] increases, the others are followed up, "he said

On another occasion, the Minister of Commerce Enggartiasto Lukita denied that there had been a sharp rise in the prices of certain food products. He is also reluctant to respond to the threat of Ikappi that will reduce the stock of sales up to 50%.
