VIVA – Minister of Trade Muhammad Lutfi continues impromptu inspections (sidak) cooking oil in various areas. Today Lutfi started the activity at SurabayaEast Java.
On that occasion, he encountered several distribution problems in the field which caused the price of cooking oil in the City of Heroes to remain high.
He immediately moved to overcome the obstacles and distribution barriers so that cooking oil is available at affordable prices for the community. In addition to the ranks of the Ministry of Trade, the inspection was carried out accompanied by the Deputy Mayor of Surabaya, Armuji.
Tambak Rejo Market became his first destination. He directly visited a number of traders to discuss the development of a number of basic needs, especially cooking oil. The result is quite surprising. The price of bulk cooking oil in Surabaya is actually more expensive than in Makassar.
“Yesterday, I went to Makassar. The goods are there and the prices are affordable. The prices should be affordable in Surabaya. Because this is a hub for processing and distributing cooking oil,” explained Lutfi in Surabaya, Friday, February 18, 2022, quoted from his statement.
Apart from being expensive, Lutfi also found the fact that the goods were rather difficult. Whereas according to data from the Ministry of Trade, the supply of cooking oil that has been realized in East Java as of February 18, 2022 is 14 million liters.
In addition, according to data from the Ministry of Trade, 73 million liters of cooking oil have been poured over the last 4 days for national needs.
