Massive Shipment of Rice Import Arrives in Indonesia: Bulog.
Feb 03, 2023

President director of the State Logistics Agency (Bulog) Budi Waseso on Thursday said there are 300,000 tons of rice imports that have landed in Indonesia, with additional 200,000 tons currently still at sea or docking at ports. 
 
'Imported (rice) that has entered reach 300 (thousand tons) while more than 500 (thousand tons) are now on the ocean at the port, waiting for the unloading,' said Budi in a press conference at the National Logistics Agency, Jakarta, Thursday, February 2.
 
The dock unloading process is currently hurdled by weather, which can spoil the imported commodity. 
 
The commodity came from a number of rice-producing countries such as Pakistan, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. 
 
'A small portion is from Pakistan because Pakistan only has that much available time. Some came from Myanmar. Most of it [was imported from] Thailand and Vietnam,' said Budi.
 
According to him, one of the reasons for the delay in the arrival of imported rice was bureaucracy. However, he did not explain further about this bureaucracy.
