The local people in Banggai Islands Regency are very friendly. We all received a very warm welcome here.

I just checked the prices of basic commodities, all are at a good price. Rice is Rp13 thousand (per kilogram), products of SPHP (Stabilisasi Pasokan dan Harga Pangan – Stabilization of Food Supply and Prices) from BULOG (Logistic Agency) are also available here. Shallot is Rp35 thousand. Garlic, well, garlic is quite high, is Rp60 thousand. But overall I think the prices here are good.

Secondly, regarding the road construction using the budget of Presidential Instruction on regional roads in Central Sulawesi Province, the road construction and repair will be carried out in nine cities and regencies on 15 sections, spanning a total of 147 kilometers, with a budget of Rp330 billion. I believe it will be conducted not only here, but also in other provinces. We will monitor the implementation of all regional road constructions.
