  "account": "Bulog, an Indonesian state-owned enterprise, reported that food stocks in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) remain secure following the earthquake, capable of meeting immediate disaster relief needs. President Director Ahmad Rizal Ramdhani confirmed rice stocks currently range from 35,000 to 37,000 tons, sufficient for relief efforts. Bulog has distributed these stocks across NTT to meet community food needs without disrupting logistics for other regions. In addition to rice, 1,000 liters of cooking oil—brand MinyaKita—has been provided to each regency and city. Should demand rise, Bulog is prepared to source additional supplies from nearby regions. This stock augmentation serves as a contingency measure for potential increases in community needs during the recovery phase.",
