SEMARANG - Central Java (Central Java) Governor Ganjar Pranowo tried to make a number of efforts to help people's purchasing power in the midst of food shortages. One of them is trying to get the community to get bulk cooking oil at a price of Rp. 14,000 per liter.

"We are still trying very hard to find another way out so that the supply of cooking oil, especially for small and micro businesses, continues, then people who can't afford it can get access at a price of Rp. 14,000 per liter," said Ganjar in Semarang, Monday, April 4.

The number one person in Central Java admitted that he was monitoring the supply of bulk cooking oil which should have arrived since Sunday 3 April and today.

"Today the one in Central Java should have arrived, but I haven't received the report. Later today we want to do a 'check' of the preparation, including commodities including the availability of 'existing'," he said.

According to Ganjar, the Central Java Provincial Government is currently also preparing to implement a central government program to distribute direct cash assistance (BLT) in the form of cooking oil to the public in accordance with President Joko Widodo's (Jokowi) instructions.

For the implementation of the cooking oil BLT Program, Ganjar said the recipient data was clear so that aid from the government was only distributed.

"Our job is to help prepare it because the data is already clear, we just need to send it for Rp. 100,000 for three months. Our job is to monitor it so that it is appropriate," said the PDI-P politician.

This assistance will be distributed to families receiving non-cash food assistance (BPNT) and the Family Hope Program (PKH), as well as street vendors (PKL) who sell fried food.
