Bulog CEO Invites UGM Students to See Firsthand the Management of Government Rice Reserves

Perum Bulog opened its warehouse doors to Gadjah Mada University (UGM) students during an academic visit to the Bulog Sunter Warehouse in North Jakarta on Monday (29/6). Bulog's President Director, retired Army Lieutenant General Ahmad Rizal Ramdhani, personally led the activity, which aimed to introduce the management of Government Rice Reserves (CBP) as a strategic instrument for national food security. The students got a rundown on rice storage governance, from receiving and quality control to the storage system. They also saw firsthand the processing at Bulog's Rice Processing Center (SPB), from cleaning to packaging ready-to-eat rice. Ahmad Rizal Ramdhani stressed how important it is for academics to get direct understanding so they know the professionalism behind managing the national rice stock. He also opened up opportunities for research collaboration, technology development, and food innovation with universities. As of June 29, 2026, Bulog's rice procurement realization exceeded 80 percent of this year's target, with CBP stock reaching around 5.4 million tons, the highest in Indonesia's history. A UGM student rep, Edwin from the Faculty of Animal Science, responded positively to the visit, saying the field experience provided new insights, including chances for research collaboration between UGM and Bulog. https://kabarbaik.co/dirut-bulog-ajak-mahasiswa-ugm-melihat-langsung-pengelolaan-cadangan-beras-pemerintah/
