Jakarta –
Policy cooking oil a price of Rp. 14 thousand per liter seems to be very difficult to apply evenly. This was revealed by a cooking oil entrepreneur during a working meeting with Commission VI of the DPR RI.
Chairman of the Indonesian Eating Oil Industry Association (AIMMI) Adi Wisoko said the cooking oil policy of Rp 14,000 per liter would be difficult to implement for distribution to small traders.
He said the implementation of this one price might be easy to do at the retail level, but for small traders to the stalls it would be very difficult to ensure that the price remained at Rp 14,000 per liter.
“Furthermore, for distributors D1, D2, and to the stalls, how do you make sure? It’s not clear. How do you get evidence that you can reach Rp. 14,000 to the lowest retail buyer level,” said Adi in a working meeting with Commission VI DPR RI, Wednesday (19/19/2020). 1/2022).
He is also pessimistic that this policy will reduce the price of cooking oil, which is currently high. This policy came into effect yesterday, all packaged cooking oil, both simple and premium, must be sold at a price of Rp. 14,000 per liter.
“As a result, we don’t know whether we will be able to reduce it as a whole, all of Indonesia can enjoy the price of Rp. 14,000. We can only wait and see if we can? Can we achieve it?” said Adi.
Adi also revealed that there are other things that he is worried about with this one-price policy. He explained subsidies are given by the government to producers cooking oil to the price difference by BPDPKS.
So, to collect the subsidy, he said that his party had to get clear evidence of the cooking oil being distributed for Rp. 14,000 per liter. At the retail level, it might be easy because the proof of sale is clear, but at a small trader it will be difficult.
“To collect this to BPDPKS, the meaning of the word document must be responsible. If we sell it to supermarkets, minimarkets, it is clear that there is a TIN and so on. As for distributors D1, D2, or to stalls, how do you want to make sure?” said Adi.
Not to mention, according to Adi, producers and retail managers will find it very difficult to record the remaining stock cooking oil which hasn’t been sold since yesterday. The data collection was carried out to provide evidence to BPDPKS that the cooking oil remaining from yesterday’s stock was also sold at a price of Rp. 14,000 per liter.
“There are leftovers that have not been sold, they must berecord, it is recorded that everything is proven, there is complete evidence that can only be submitted to BPDPKS. Many of these are already in supermarkets. This is busy to complete the administration so that the remaining ones can also receive subsidies,” said Adi.
The DPR proposes to limit the export of processed palm oil. Check the next page.
