# Prices Maintained, Farmers Empowered

> Bulog’s West Java office urged nutrition-program service units to buy eggs directly from farmers at the government reference purchase price of Rp26,500 per kilogram, avoiding lengthy distribution chains. Bulog also distributed 60 tonnes of corn through its supply-and-price stabilization program to help small-scale layer farms reduce feed costs.

## Why it matters

Direct egg purchases at the reference price could support producer revenues, while subsidized corn distribution may ease feed-cost pressure for participating farms. The measures are intended to stabilize local egg and corn markets rather than signal a broad change in national supply.
