T
he Indonesian Bureau of Logistics (Bulog) of the North Sulawesi Province will expand its Bulog Mart business on the border between North Sulawesi and the Philippines.
'This year we are expanding the business of Bulog Mart in Sangihe Talaud. It is a district that directly shares its borders with the Philippines,' North Sulawesi's Bulog head Yayan Suparyan said Manado on Thursday as quoted by Antara news agency.
He said the presence of Bulog in Sangihe Talaud is expected to stabilize rice prices in the district and to shorten the lengthy food product distribution chain.
Bulog is an Indonesian stated-owned company dealing with food distribution and price control.
Besides rice, Bulog Mart also sells sugar, vegetable oil, flour and other food products.
The commodities sold by Bulog Mart are bought from the manufacturers, so that the prices can remain competitive as compared to other retail markets.
'Bulog invites all local communities to get involved in this business by selling their food commodities in the mart,' Yayan noted. (***)
