Malang, (malangkota.go.id) – The Malang City Government (Pemkot) through the Regional Public Company (Perumda) Tunas initiated the holding of the Online Cheap Market on December 22-23, 2021 in Malang City. This cheap market is held to stabilize prices ahead of the 2022 Christmas and New Year celebrations.
Malang Mayor Drs. H. Sutiaji in his speech said that Malang City Government continues to strive to encourage various forms of activities. The goal is to improve the standard of living of the community in all sectors, one of which is through this Online Cheap Market.
"The habit of shopping for regional products and traditional markets will automatically strengthen our economy. I am sure that with this online system, all prices will be monitored. I hope there will be no fluctuations because later the availability of goods will also be published," said Mayor Sutiaji, Wednesday (22/12/2021).
Sutiaji hopes that Perumda Tunas can help monitor so that micro, small and medium enterprise (MSME) products can be strengthened and facilitated. In addition, he also has a dream of a curation house as a forum for communication and coaching. Especially about internal management in MSMEs, so that prices remain affordable and MSMEs are able to compete in the global market.
"The market may not have many visitors, but buying and selling transactions must continue. We must build an online system. Digitalization in all sectors must also be strengthened. Hopefully this Online Cheap Market will not only be held before Eid and Christmas. But it must be done periodically," said Sutiaji.
Pasar Murah Online is a form of concern from the Malang City Government to encourage increased productivity of MSMEs in the food sector. Optimizing this digitalization also supports economic recovery in Malang City. This Pasar Murah Online is specifically intended for Malang City residents.
People who are interested in buying can visit the website address http://pasarmurah.malangkota.go.id/. Various basic food products, processed foods, frozen foods, fruits, fish, and UMKM products are sold at discounted prices. Minimum purchase of IDR 75.000,00 and weight of 10 kilograms, and payment can only be made non-cash. In addition to making it easier for people to shop, buyers will also benefit because the prices are relatively cheaper than market prices and shipping of shopping is also free.
This Online Cheap Market was attended by Perumda Tunas, PT RNI, Malang City PKK Team, UMKM fostered by Malang City Diskopindag, UMKM fostered by Malang City Dispangtan, and Gapoktan. (ari/ram)
