Availability cooking oil it was hard to find in some minimarkets. Cooking oil became a rare item after it was announced that the price was Rp. 14,000 per liter.
Several reports say that cooking oil is hard to find and even the shelves of cooking oil in minimarkets are often empty. According to several sources that have been summarized by detikcom, Saturday (12/02/2022). This is the reason why cooking oil is often empty.
Chairman of the Indonesian Retail Entrepreneurs Association (Aprindo) Roy Mandey opened up about the culprit. The main problem of the scarcity of cooking oil is the supply of goods that are increasingly accepted by retail stores.
“We don’t produce this retail cooking oil, we only distribute it, those who produce are producers, those who market are distributors. Maybe the producers have problems with raw materials, that’s what causes the supply to distributors to be lacking, in the end we don’t participate,” said Roy detik.comlast Sunday (30/1/2022).
According to him, the raw material for CPO is from palm oil to make palm oil cooking oil it’s lacking. So that makes manufacturers can not produce for a while.
In line with Roy, Secretary General Aprindo Solihin said that the actual shortage of cooking oil is an illustration of how low the supply of cooking oil is.
“Now we order to the distributor. We don’t order 1,000 who were sent, thank God we only got 60. Thank God it’s still being sent,” said Solihin to detik.com.
He also said that since the initial announcement of the cooking oil policy of Rp. 14 thousand per liter, his party had taken into account the existing stock and could sell it for up to two weeks. However, in reality, this is not the case, because panic buying is happening in the community.
“Stock (cooking oil) it should have been in the store for two weeks there was a tremendous panic. People buy their wives in line, husbands, children, assistants line up,” explained Solihin.
