This is how to buy bulk cooking oil using the PeduliProtect application

JAKARTAKOMPAS.com – Cooking oil is one of the household needs that cannot be ruled out. This is because almost all households in Indonesia consume foods that are processed using cooking oil.

Therefore, the government provides the main convenience for the poor by imposing a price of Rp. 14,000 per liter for People’s Bulk Cooking Oil (MGCR). However, the purchase of MGCR is of course under strict supervision, so that its distribution can be more evenly distributed.

As for limiting the purchase of MGCR, the government enforces purchases using the PeduliLindung application, or by showing a NIK. This is to overcome repeated purchases by the public.
