JAKARTA - The price of cooking oil from producer Anthony Salim conglomerate PT Salim Ivomas Pratama Tbk, Bimoli, since Friday, January 21, has dropped to Rp. 14,000 per liter.

Reporting from Antara, on Saturday, January 22, in Jayapura, new cooking oil of the Bimoli brand was sold for Rp. 14,000 per liter and only in several places, including Saga.

Meanwhile, the same brand is still sold at Rp 24,000 per liter and other brands such as Fortune Rp 21,500 per liter, Kunci Mas Rp 22,000 per liter, SunCo and Sovia each Rp 23,500 per liter.

"Indeed, since Friday, January 21, we have lowered the price of Bimoli cooking oil according to government regulations, which is Rp. 14,000 per liter and is limited to one person being allowed to buy only 2 liters or one jirigen containing five liters," said one supervisor who did not want to be identified.

As a result of the decline in the price of Bimoli cooking oil, residents seemed enthusiastic, especially women who bought Bimoli brand Migor.

The price is very different from other brands so we are willing to queue, said Aura's mother, who claims to live in the Jayapura V Dock area.

Head of the Industry and Cooperatives, SMEs and Manpower Office for Papua, Omah Laduane, said that according to the government's decision, the cooking oil price of Rp. 14,000/liter was effective from Tuesday, January 25.

"However, since Friday, January 21, the Bimoli brand of cooking oil has dropped to Rp. 14,000 per liter," explained Omah Laduane.
