Jakarta,CNBC Indonesia – Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan changed the sales and purchase system for people’s bulk cooking oil (MGCR). MGCR sales and purchases must use the PeduliLindung application so that the distribution system from producers to consumers is more accountable. The plan for the socialization period is Monday, June 27, 2022.
He said, the socialization period until the next 2 weeks. After the socialization period is complete, all sales and purchases of people’s bulk cooking oil will use PeduliLindung or show NIK for those who do not have an application.
“After the socialization period is over, people must use the PeduliLindung application or show their NIK to be able to get MGCR with the highest retail price (HET),” Luhut said in an official statement, Friday (24/6).
He said the purchase of people’s bulk cooking oil at the consumer level would be limited to a maximum of 10 kg for one NIK per day and guaranteed to be obtained with a HET of Rp. 14,000 per liter or Rp. 15,500 per kg.
“MGCR at this price can be obtained at sellers/retailers who are officially registered in the Simirah 2.0 program and also through Logistics and Retail Service Business Actors (PUJLE), namely Food and Savory Stalls,” explained Luhut.
Luhut said the government’s efforts to change this system were to provide certainty of the availability and affordability of cooking oil prices for all levels of society.
The use of PeduliLindung is said to function as a monitoring and supervision tool in the field to mitigate fraud in various places which can lead to scarcity and increase in cooking oil prices.
The government has also made various efforts to respond to the chaotic cooking oil prices that have occurred since a few months ago. Some of the steps taken are said to be starting to bear fruit with the decline in the price of bulk cooking oil in several areas.
“I want that later distribution can be ensured to run to the lowest level. Do not let there be areas that do not get people’s bulk cooking oil below their needs. But this will all still take time,” said Luhut.
To ensure that the socialization and transition period runs optimally, Luhut has also formed a Task Force to disseminate information regarding the transition of the new system to the public. This team will later provide various information channels to serve questions or complaints that arise from the public regarding the purchase of people’s bulk cooking oil.
Now the highest retail price of bulk cooking oil is approaching Rp. 14 thousand, but what Luhut is doing is an effort to build a system so that the distribution and price of bulk cooking oil can be more accountable from producers to consumers.
