BADUNG - National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo confirmed that he would take action against irregularities related to bulk cooking oil in the market. The National Police supervises and takes action against sellers who repackage bulk cooking oil and sell it at high prices.
“Yesterday, we have warned several of them and we have processed the repacking. If it continues, we will carry out a firm process," said Sigit in Kuta, Bali, Friday, June 10.
"We remind you to comply with what is our collective commitment. Because this is the most important thing, bulk cooking oil, especially in the community market, is no longer difficult and producers can export after their obligations are fulfilled and there is no distorted distribution. If there is something like this We will take firm action," added the National Police Chief.
Regarding the price of bulk fried oil, which exceeds the highest retail price, the National Police Chief asked distributors to speed up distribution to markets to prevent price increases.
"So indeed (conditions) in the market there are three times a week (distribution), some once a week, some every day. The tendency is that the prices are still high and varied, delivery or distribution is once a week," he explained.
The National Police Chief emphasized that his party was following up on President Joko Widodo's (Jokowi) directive to monitor the availability and price of bulk cooking oil. Supervision is carried out from the producer to the market.
"We certainly have the task to help ensure that the entire process goes well. Mainly related to verification of the producer's obligations to ensure that bulk cooking oil production in particular is actually on the market. So that export approvals can be given," he said.
