Jakarta, IDN Times – PT Rajawali Nusindo, a subsidiary of Holding Pangan ID Food, is accelerating the distribution of Stabilized Supply and Food Price (SPHP) rice and MinyaKita cooking oil across Indonesia. This initiative supports President Prabowo’s Asta Cita program, particularly in achieving food self-sufficiency.
Perum Bulog is collaborating with Rajawali Nusindo, which operates 41 branches nationwide, to ensure efficient distribution. The program is designed to protect consumers’ purchasing power and maintain affordable food prices, especially for lower-middle-income communities.
The target for SPHP rice distribution in January-February 2025 is set at 300,000 tons.

The target for SPHP rice distribution during January-February 2025 remains at 300,000 tons.
To ensure a stable food supply, the SPHP rice distribution is categorized into three zones:

In addition to rice, Rajawali Nusindo is also actively distributing MinyaKita cooking oil, a key government initiative aimed at addressing the ongoing high prices of cooking oil in the market.
From October 2024 until mid-January 2025, Rajawali Nusindo has successfully distributed 11,423,984 liters of MinyaKita cooking oil as follows:
- October 2024: 1,701,994 liters
- November 2024: 4,195,614 liters
- December 2024: 5,496,376 liters
- January 2025: 30,000 liters
Wahyu emphasized that the rapid distribution of MinyaKita is also focused on maintaining stability in the prices of rice and cooking oil for consumers, contributing to the control of the national inflation rate. This distribution aligns with President Prabowo Subianto’s directive to ensure that MinyaKita, the people’s packaged cooking oil, is distributed by state-owned enterprises (BUMN) in the food sector.
“This guidance is intended to tackle distribution issues and ensure that the price of MinyaKita remains below the Highest Retail Price (HET) of Rp15,700 per liter. It also supports the Ministry of BUMN’s efforts for state-owned food enterprises to fully back food self-sufficiency,” he stated.

With Rajawali Nusindo’s equitable distribution efforts, Wahyu hopes to maintain stable prices for rice and cooking oil. Furthermore, he emphasizes that communities in various regions should have adequate supply at reasonable prices.
Last year, Rajawali Nusindo also played a significant role in delivering 3.36 million stunting aid packages across four provinces: Banten (555,924 packages), East Java (2,245,182 packages), West Sulawesi (123,798 packages), and East Nusa Tenggara (438,408 packages).
The distribution of these millions of food packages was carried out through branches located in these provinces, including Serang, Tangerang, Madiun, Jember, Malang, Sidoarjo, Surabaya, Kupang, and Makassar.
