No, it doesn't happen. All prices are also good,\" he explained.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Ministry of Trade’s Market and Basic Needs Monitoring System (SP2KP) recorded the national average price for chicken at approximately Rp40,259 per kilogram as of February 13, 2027. This current national price slightly exceeds the government’s reference purchase price, which is set at Rp40,000 per kilogram.With the national average at Rp40,259 per kilogram, Budi stated that some regions still maintain prices below the reference point.However, Budi clarified that the Ministry of Trade will continue to monitor the causes behind chicken meat price increases. According to him, there are two possible reasons for price hikes: supply shortages or demand surges.Between these two causes, Budi believes the current trigger is a surge in demand ahead of religious holidays like Eid. He mentioned that business operators reported no supply constraints. \"But we ask for anticipation. Even during Eid or the New Year, the supply must be maintained. So, when the demand surges, the price must remain stable,\" he said.Budi stated that, to maintain price stability, the Ministry of Trade is urging high-priced food markets to focus heavily on distribution logistics. He added that the Ministry is also partnering with other agencies and local governments to track food price movements. \"We want to ensure there are no spikes, and if an increase occurs, we will immediately identify the cause,\" he concluded.Read: Ultra-Processed Food Barred from Free Nutritious Meals Ramadan DistributionClick here to get the latest news updates from Tempo on Google News","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"1","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.36.2","shortVersion":"4.36.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2612415222","isCrawlerRequest":true}
