Pramono explained that the storage time at ports and food price stability were the two key areas of concern for the president.
"The president is more concerned about the storage time at ports, which is expected to be three to four days in October," Pramono affirmed.
He added that the second issue to be discussed was related to the shortage of beef, which indicated that stocks were being manipulated behind the scenes. He did not wish to speculate any further on the matter.
