JapanIndonesian food prices have dropped significantly as the free meal program initiated by President Prabowo Subianto was paused during the school holiday. Vegetable sellers like Eko Kurniawan in Surabaya report lower staple prices, with many consumers attributing the decline to the temporary suspension of the program. Social media users are actively discussing the price drop, highlighting its impact on daily shopping habits. The program, which provides free meals to students, is set to resume later this month, potentially leading to a reversal of the current pricing trends.
