"Ya biasanya kalau Lebaran, orang yang tidak biasa makan daging jadi makan daging, apalagi menjelang Lebaran. Semua orang wajib beli daging," katanya di komplek Istana Kepresidenan Jakarta, Rabu (22/5).
Sementara itu, menurut Rusman, untuk persedian beras menjelang puasa dan Lebaran sangat mencukupi, sehingga tidak perlu dikhawatirkan. "Kalau beras, cukuplah, malah Bulog itu sekarang menghadapi problem pemeliharaan beras karena stoknya terlalu banyak," katanya.
