Boyolali, Jateng [B2B] - Presiden RI Joko Widodo [Jokowi] mengecek harga kebutuhan pokok menjelang Hari Raya Lebaran 1444 H di Pasar Cepogo, Boyolali, Jawa Tengah, Senin [10/4].
Menurut Jokowi, harga sejumlah kebutuhan pokok di pasar ini mengalami penurunan menjelang Lebaran tahun 2023.
"Saya dengan Pak Menteri Perdagangan juga Pak Gubernur Jawa Tengah mengecek terakhir kondisi harga-harga menjelang mendekati Lebaran seperti apa? Ternyata yang di sini yang kita lihat turun semuanya," ujar Jokowi dalam keterangan pers usai peninjauan.
Jokowi menyampaikan, harga sejumlah kebutuhan pokok yang mengalami penurunan, antara lain, cabai rawit, telur, bawang putih, dan daging ayam. Penurunan harga tersebut dinilai Presiden karena banyaknya pasokan produksi di daerah tersebut.
"Turun semua, mungkin karena pasokan produksinya banyak sehingga menyebabkan harga turun. Ini baik," ungkap Presiden.
Jokowi pun memastikan ketersediaan sejumlah bahan kebutuhan pokok masih terkendali dua pekan menjelang Hari Raya Idulfitri 1444 Hijriah. Tidak hanya pasokan, harga sejumlah kebutuhan pokok juga diharapkan akan tetap terkendali.
"Ya ini kan tinggal dua minggu, saya kira insyaallah turun terus. Beras juga turun dikit," ucap Jokowi.
Selain meninjau dan mengecek harga sejumlah kebutuhan pokok, Jokowi turut menyerahkan sejumlah bantuan sosial kepada para pedagang di Pasar Cepogo.
