Bulog to prioritize absorbing domestically produced rice over imports 15th March 2021 Indonesian farmers harvest paddy in Kudus, Central Java. (ANTARA FOTO/YUSUF NUGROHO) Jakarta (ANTARA) - National Logistics Agency (Bulog) President Director Budi Waseso affirmed that his agency had accorded priority to absorbing domestically produced rice to maintain the government's Rice Reserves (CBP) stock instead of importing one million tons. "In principle, we prioritize domestic production for CBP absorption," Waseso stated during a hearing with Commission IV of the House of Representatives (DPR) here on Monday. Bulog will not necessarily go ahead with the rice import assignment since the country is currently entering a major rice harvest period.
