Metro Jaya Police Support Chicken Farmers, Supply Eggs to Bekasi Nutritional Services

The Indonesian National Police's Greater Jakarta Metropolitan Regional Police (Polda Metro Jaya) are bolstering the supply chain for the Bekasi Regency's Nutritional Fulfillment Service Unit (SPPG) by nurturing local chicken farmers. This effort involves channeling egg harvests from these supported farms to the nutritional service facilities.

A recent harvest on Tuesday, May 26, yielded approximately 3,000 chicken eggs. These cumulative four-day production results were immediately distributed to the nutritional service facilities. Police Commissioner Ardanto Nugroho stated the program aims to maintain food stability, providing intensive support to ensure a consistent supply of quality protein sources to the public.

"The egg harvest from our supported farms is part of our structural efforts to support the availability of nutritious food, especially protein sources, while ensuring the supply chain for the community remains strong and secure," he said in a written statement on Friday, May 29. The chicken eggs are supplied on a schedule to two strategic locations within the Bekasi Metro Police jurisdiction: SPPG Cibatu and SPPG Jaya Mukti. The police manage this distribution from upstream to downstream in collaboration with local egg farmers. This model ensures that nutritious food supplies reach their intended recipients.

"Through integrated management from upstream to downstream, we ensure that the production results from our supported farms are directly channeled to the SPPG so that the fulfillment of nutritious food needs can run optimally and its benefits are precisely targeted," he added. The supported farm operates on approximately 1,000 square meters of productive land and currently houses 1,000 laying hens. Through regular technical guidance, the farm achieves a daily productivity rate of around 80 percent. The integrated food area also includes a 49-hectare fish and shrimp pond and a goat farm with about 50 animals. Polda Metro Jaya is committed to professionally expanding partnerships with local farmers and breeders, aiming to drive the community's economy in the capital's buffer region. The police also urge the public and agribusiness actors to help maintain security around food facilities, as active citizen participation is crucial to prevent disruptions to food security.
