PENYALURAN, PENGENDALIAN DAN PENGAWASAN SEMBILAN BAHAN POKOK

Abstract

At present the distribution and control of all nine staples given to this market mechanism
has taken place since the reformation in 1998, and in the history of Indonesia has had a
controlling body of nine staples since in the Indies under the name Voedings Middelen Fonds
(VMF) in 1939 specifically rice.
When the second President of the Republic of Indonesia, Soeharto, was formed and
inaugurated BULOG (Logistics Affairs Agency) on May 10, 1967.
Through Presidential Decree No. 39/1978, President Soeharto decided that the main task of
Bulog was to control the price of rice, grain, wheat and other staples in order to maintain price
stability,
Both for producers and consumers according to government policy
The era of reform occurred when the 4th President Abdulrahman Wahid alias Gus Dur
ruled, a Buloggate scandal occurred and since January 20, 2003 the status of Bulog was
formalized as a state-owned public company.
In Law No. 8/2012 on Food is mandated that the government and the community are
responsible for realizing food security. This can be interpreted that food security is a market
mechanism such as some developed and liberal countries
The National Logistics Agency is expected to be the supervisor, distribution and control of
the nine staples for food security for special small communities and the general welfare of the
Indonesian people in general.
