PAPUA - The Director of Criminal Investigation at the Papua Police, Kombes Ricko Taruna, admitted that his members have been deployed to the field to monitor cooking oil. So far there have been no reports that lead to the alleged hoarding.

"We continue to check and monitor to ensure the availability of cooking oil," said Riko in Papua as reported by Antara, Monday, October 21.

He admitted that the checks were carried out to avoid hoarding to take profits, especially since the month of Ramadan is approaching. He hopes

people want to report if they know there is hoarding of cooking oil.

Separately, several business actors hope that the price of refined palm cooking oil will no longer increase and will remain at Rp. 14,000 per liter.

"It really helps us five-time traders who use it every day to fry products such as chicken and fish," said Dewi, who sells fresh vegetables in the Bucen Jayapura area.

Dewi admitted that currently there are more brands of cooking oil that had never been seen being sold in Jayapura, so that when they got the cooking oil they used to buy, they immediately bought it.

"Indeed I buy in large quantities according to the minimum need for a week because every day it takes about five liters of cooking oil," said Dewi.
