A total of 65.5 tonnes of Rice Rice (Rastra) is ready to be distributed to 6,580 beneficiary families in Banda Aceh City. Starting Thursday (25/1) tomorrow, Rastra allocation for January 2018 will begin to be channeled gradually to the community in nine districts in Banda Aceh.
Thus disclosed by Assistant of Economic and Development of Setdako Banda Aceh Iskandar after reviewing the stock and quality and technical readiness of Rastra distribution in Bulog Divre Aceh Warehouse located in Siron area, Aceh Besar, Wednesday (24/1/2018).
"Alhamdulillah, we have made sure that Rastra's stock is sufficient and the quality is good, and we are ready to distribute it starting tomorrow in Jaya Baru and Kuta Raja sub-districts," said Iskandar accompanied by Kadinsos Banda Aceh Muzakkir.
His side, Iskandar said, also appreciated the Bulog Divre Aceh who chose the local rice produced by farmers in Aceh, especially the area of Aceh Besar. "Rice has also been packed in a pack of 10 kilogram content so that it makes it easier in the process of distribution to the community later. The tomorrow's distribution is planned to be launched by the Deputy Mayor. "
He added, in accordance with the central government's plan to use e-war system starting next February, then the distribution of Rastra will be conventionally stopped. "Starting next month, beneficiary families will be given a kind of debit card and can 'shop' rice and other necessities with the card at 10 e-stalls in Banda Aceh," he said.
"We hope that with this new system, the distribution of aid for the people in need will be more practical and most importantly more targeted. The socialization of e-warung will continue to be given to the community through Social Service, "he said.
