JAKARTA - Economic Observer Acuviarta Kartabi assessed that Pertamina's policy of limiting the purchase of diesel fuel (BBM) must have exceptions.

According to him, restrictions on the purchase of diesel will affect the logistics transportation sector.

If there are restrictions, the fleet of goods carriers must be added so that it can cause logistics transportation costs for a commodity to be higher.

"When it comes to the economy, the related sectors are logistics transportation, the main ingredients are fuel, I think it can be excluded, and the governance must be considered," said the man who is familiarly called Acu, quoted from Antara, Tuesday, May 16.

Just so you know, Pertamina has started implementing the MyPertamina application so that there are certain restrictions related to the purchase of diesel by type of vehicle.

Each vehicle can only buy a solar maximum of 20 liters per day if it does not use the MyPertamina application.

He added that currently the community's need for fuel is very high because the conditions are real, so the restrictions on purchasing fuel are not entirely appropriate.

"Indeed, the request is like that. Now this restriction is related to government and corporate policies, right. I think this restriction must see the real conditions of community needs," he said.

He explained that logistics transportation, which is a distribution process, is one of the determining components of the price.

Even logistics distribution costs are sometimes higher than the real price of a commodity.

"We can see that from the MPP (Trade and Transportation margin) it is extraordinary, the price difference is from the farmer level, with prices at the consumer level it is high," said Acu.
