Jelang Bulan Puasa, Pemprov Papua Imbau Warga Bijak Berbelanja

JAYAPURA - Pemerintah Provinsi Papua mengimbau warga Bumi Cenderawasih untuk bijak dalam berbelanja, guna menekan angka inflasi jelang bulan puasa yang dimulai pada 10 Maret 2024 mendatang.

Hal itu disampaikan Pelaksana Tugas (Plt) Asisten II Sekda Papua, Suzana Wanggai, di Kota Jayapura, Jumat (1/3/2024).

“Kami mengimbau agar mari kita bijak dalam berbelanja, walaupun stok beras kita ada tetapi kita harus bijak. Artinya belilah barang yang kita butuhkan saja saat itu, bukan sesuai keinginan apalagi menimbun,” terang Suzana.

Suzana mengatakan, pihaknya bersama instansi terkait telah melalukan operasi pasar guna menekan angka inflasi. 

Kendati demikian, peranan warga juga dibutuhkan untuk menekan angka inflasi jelang Lebaran.

Diantaranya, menanam cabai di pekarangan rumah, sehingga harga jual komoditi itu bisa normal saat Lebaran.

Selain itu, warga Bumi Cenderawasih juga diminta agar memanfaatkan pangan lokal sebagai makanan utama.

“Jangan kita hanya jadikan papeda sebagi snack namun harus bisa menjadikan sebagai makanan utama,” tandasnya.

Sementara itu, Pemprov Papua bersama BPS Papua menggelar Berita Resmi Statistik di Kantor Kominfo Papua.

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. ***
