"We asked the Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of Commerce observe the beef speculators, who take advantage of the current situation," Hatta said when met at his office, Jakarta, Thursday (11/07/2013).
Hatta added, reports the Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) shows that the trade balance and beef stock in the market is still positive. That is, the availability of beef in the market is still enough so that there is no reason for traders to raise prices.
According to Hatta, the price of beef national average is Rp 94,000 per kilogram. Even in some places, the price has reached Rp 100,000 per kilogram.
Bulog had been due to enter frozen beef through Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, Cengkareng. Rest through the Port of Tanjung Priok, Jakarta. In addition, the stock of 109,000 cows should be brought forward to the end of the stock.
"We've had a response to combat rising prices and keep inflation at the target of 7.2 per cent (up to the end of the year)," said Hatta.
To stabilize the price of beef, the government will give priority to cattle ready for slaughter as many as 109,000 birds. This while waiting for the import of Bulog, which is said to have established contracts with parties in Australia.
"Just enter the item through the airport there are quarantine rules. One of them had no contract with the installation of temporary quarantine. Bulog coincidence did not have it. Later it will look for a solution that could soon go through the airport without breaking the rules of quarantine because it is something that is binding, "added Minister of Agriculture Suswono.
