Sentani – The public is very enthusiastic about shopping at the Jayapura Regency Government cheap market which is taking place at Theys H. Eluay Square and the Jayapura Regency District Office Yard on Thursday (04/04/2024).
Fitri, A Sentani resident, admitted that even though he had arrived much earlier, the wheat flour he wanted to buy was immediately sold out. So in the end, he only bought 1 shelf of eggs and 2 liters of “Masku” brand cooking oil.
According to her, the price of cooking oil is very different from the price on the market, where the price of 2 liters of cooking oil is only Rp. 33 thousand. Fitri hopes that in the future the government will need to roll out cheap markets like this in more spacious places.
It doesn’t stop there, the commodities available should be more limited so that people don’t panic when shopping.
According to fitri about the cheapest market: “The place is wider, the egg supply is less than 500 shelves and the distribution is not evenly distributed, even the flour has been sold out without being available. 2 liters of cooking oil priced at IDR 33 thousand is quite cheap and good so it is hoped that supplies will also be increased”.
Megawati tried to compare the price of eggs in the cheap market and those circulating in the market.
According to Megawati “For example, the price of eggs is usually IDR 70 thousand per pack, but here the price per pack of eggs is only IDR 55 thousand, that’s cheaper than local eggs or Surabaya eggs, of course this makes us very happy.”
Megawati also hopes that with the public’s high interest in this cheap market, it is hoped that the government will also hold this market again in the future and of course with much more stock than before and The items I was looking for weren’t there, like Besum rice here.”
From here we can see that the public’s enthusiasm for taking advantage of the cheap market is extraordinary. It can be seen from the large number of visitors or people who come and shop at each stand selling various necessities, the public has high hopes for the Jayapura Regency Government to respond positively to the public’s opinions.
