The Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) predicts that Indonesia will enter the peak of the dry season in August 2023.

"The peak of the dry season is August-September. The peak of El Niño is actually later, around October-November," said BMKG Head Dwikorita Karnawati, as reported by *Kompas.com* on Thursday (10/8/2023).

At the beginning of the peak dry season this year, rice prices have again risen.

Based on data from the Ministry of Trade, in August 2023 the average national price of premium rice reached Rp14,100 per kilogram (kg).

This price is up 0.43% month-on-month (mom), up 12.8% year-on-year (yoy), and is the highest in the last five years.

A similar situation occurred with medium-quality rice, with the average national price reaching Rp12,201 per kg in August 2023.

The average price of medium rice increased by 1.01% month-on-month (mom), increased by 16.2% year-on-year (yoy), and reached its highest level since 2018.
