JAYAPURA – The Papua Provincial Government, through the Papua Provincial Trade and Industry Office, will hold three cheap markets in different locations in Jayapura.

Acting Head of the Papua Provincial Trade and Industry Office, Hartati Sofia Iwanggin, stated that the first cheap market is scheduled to be held on March 17, followed by March 20 and March 24.

The commodities to be sold at the cheap market will follow the guidelines set by the National Food Agency.

"As directed by the National Food Agency, we will provide premium rice, garlic, shallots, cooking oil, sugar, and eggs," she added.
