JAKARTA - Chairman of the Indonesian Retail Entrepreneurs Association (Aprindo) Roy Nicholas Mandey said that the simple packaged cooking oil program at low prices will be available until January 2022 at modern retailers.

As is known, the government together with cooking oil producers and retailers are running a program to supply 11 million liters of simple packaged cooking oil at IDR 14.000 per liter.

"Currently it continues and we hope that the target is until the first or second week of January this program has been completed," he said in a virtual press conference, Wednesday, December 22, 2022.

Furthermore, Roy explained that the supply of simple packaged cooking oil was carried out in stages because cooking oil producers also asked for sufficient time from production to product distribution to retail stores.

Roy also reported that until now, the realization of the distribution of cooking oil at low prices has reached the range of 50 percent of the set target of 11 million liters of cooking oil.

"Currently, reporting that it has reached 50 percent and even editing that the value is already above 50 percent, we continue to process it. Why not directly? Because the production process itself or making simple packaging has processing time, then there is logistics and the goods delivery time, especially in the regions," he said.

Not only that, according to Roy, the supply of simple packaged cooking oil will be carried out in stages to ensure stock availability until early next year.

"Because after the new year there are still some. Both those who rest and so on, who still need cooking oil," he said.
