JAKARTA - Deputy Minister of Trade (Wamendag) Jerry Sambuaga listened to and accommodated the outpourings of cooking oil traders at the Digital Market of Pangkalpinang City, Bangka Belitung Islands Province, Thursday 12 May.

Deputy Minister of Trade Jerry Sambuaga after inaugurating the Pangkalpinang City Grass Market as a Healthy, Innovative and Safe to Use Digital Market (SIAP) QR Code Indonesia Standard (QRIS) took the time to visit the stalls of traders in the traditional market.

The Deputy Minister of Trade accompanied by the Regional Secretary for the Bangka Belitung Islands Province Naziarto and the Head of Bank Indonesia (BI) Babel Representative Budi Widihartanto had a dialogue with grocery traders to ensure stable cooking oil stocks and prices.

"Mother, how is the stock and price of cooking oil now? Has it gone smoothly and the price of cooking oil has returned to normal," said Deputy Minister of Trade Jerry Sambuaga to Nadia, a grocery trader, quoted from Antara.

Nadia answered when the supply of packaged cooking oil had returned to normal and prices had returned to normal.

"Just today, the supply of cooking oil has returned to normal. Previously, we had difficulty getting this supply of cooking oil, sir," said Nadia.

He admitted that before and after Idul Fitri 1443 Hijri, traders still had difficulty getting supplies of cooking oil, so the stock of cooking oil was limited.

"Sir, why is it still difficult for us to get cooking oil, is this cooking oil stock decreasing again," said Nadia while asking the Deputy Minister of Trade Jerry Sambuaga.

During the dialogue, the Vice Minister of Trade, Jerry Sambuaga, ensured that the stock and distribution of cooking oil were running well to meet the needs of people throughout Indonesia.
