REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister of Economy, Hatta Rajasa, ensured that distribution of food and other primary needs would not be disrupted by the extreme weather. He claimed that government had anticipated any possibility caused by the bad condition.

"There is no problem with food distribution," Rajasa said on Thursday.

Yet, he admitted that government would not ignore warning of Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG). BMKG predicts that the bad weather will continue until February 2013.

Rajasa added that the stock of rice in every province was sufficient. He was reported that the stock of rice in Bulog surpassed the safe limit, which was two million tonnes.
