RRI NEWS | DKP NABIRE BERSAMA TPID MELAKUKAN PEMANTAUN STOK DAN HARGA PANGAN

To ensure the availability and stability of food prices at the trader level, the Nabire Regency Food Security Office and the Nabire Regency Regional Inflation Control Team (TPID) are conducting monitoring at several markets. The Head of the Nabire Regency Food Security Office, Yasor Victor Sawo, SP., M.Sc., explained to RRI that the monitoring of food prices and stocks, conducted on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, was a follow-up to several commodities experiencing price increases in the market, such as at the Kalibobo Nabire Central Market, among traders, suppliers, and egg-laying chicken farmers in Nabire Regency. He stated that the commodities of primary concern currently are broiler chicken eggs, shallots, and cayenne peppers. For broiler chicken eggs, the situation is quite unique because market stocks are relatively abundant, yet selling prices remain above the government's reference price. He emphasized that the regional government also needs to protect local farmers from suffering losses due to the abundant supply of eggs from outside the region. Based on data compiled by the Food Security Agency and related parties, approximately 30 tons of eggs entered Nabire from outside the region during May 2026, and by mid-June, the figure had reached approximately 14 tons. Meanwhile, Haji Siti, a trader at the Kalilbobo Central Market in Nabire, stated that the price increases for several commodities had been ongoing for approximately a week. She attributed the price increases to sea transportation and reduced stocks. The monitoring of food stocks and prices conducted by the Nabire Regency Food Security Agency and the Regional Inflation Team demonstrates the government's commitment to ensuring the availability of supplies, stabilizing staple food prices, and curbing inflation.
