JAKARTA - ID FOOD through PT Rajawali Nusindo together with the Ministry of Trade held an operation of the Oilita market in a number of locations.

A total of 48,000 liters or 4,000 cartons of Oilita were disbursed in this activity.

Acting President Director (Plt) Rajawali Nusindo Wahyu Sakti said this market operation was an effort to maintain the supply of cooking oil to meet the needs of the community ahead of the National Holidays and Religions (HBKN) in the month of Ramadan.

"As a start, we will hold this oil market operation in Banten province, precisely in Tangerang, which is located in the markets of Malabar and Borobudur, as well as in Serang, namely in Kelapa Market and Rau Market," he said in an official statement, Friday, February 21.

Furthermore, Wahyu said, as many as 48,000 liters or 4,000 cartons of oil was disbursed in the two cities.

"Minyakita is immediately sold to retail level according to the price set by the Ministry of Trade", he said.

Apart from Banten, Rajawali Nusindo will also carry out similar activities in East Java in the 4th week of February.

Meanwhile, in Eastern Indonesia, such as Papua, NTT, NTB, Maluku, the Cheap Market Movement (GPM) will be carried out directly with the highest retail price (HET) of IDR 15,700 per liter in the second week of March by distributing 158,460 liters of Oilita.

"This is done so that the distribution can be more evenly distributed and on target. In this way, more and more residents can enjoy the benefits of this activity," he said.

Wahyu said that the Oilita market operation was a form of Rajawali Nusindo's contribution in providing cooking oil commodities directly for the community.

"The existence of this market operation is expected to help people get oil at affordable prices in accordance with the provisions of the Government. So that people can be calmer entering this holy month of Ramadan, because food needs are met," he said.

In addition to Oilita, Rajawali Nusindo also carried out similar market operations in other cities by adding other food products in the form of sugar and buffalo meat.

"In order to maintain price stability and supply of basic commodities, it is hoped that similar market operations can be expanded in scope in order to have a bigger impact," he said.

As part of the Food SOE Holding entity, Wahyu said Rajawali Nusindo is committed to continuing to ensure the distribution of foodstuffs to all levels of society, especially during the important period of the National Religious Holidays (HBKN).

"We responded positively to the government's trust in assigning Rajawali Nusindo to carry out Market Operations and the Cheap Market Movement throughout Indonesia ahead of the HBKN Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr," he said.
