Central Java Police Chief Inspector General Luthfi: Cooking Oil Stock Is Safe For The Next Three Months

SEMARANG - Central Java Police Chief Inspector General Ahmad Luthfi emphasized that the supply of cooking oil in this province is still sufficient for the next three months. This is known after checking stock availability starting at the producer, distributor, and retailer level in Semarang City, Tuesday, March 29.

According to him, the current supply of cooking oil reaches 109 thousand tons. "Central Java needs around 39 thousand tons per month," said Inspector General Luthfi as quoted by Antara, Tuesday, March 29.

Therefore, according to him, there is no need for excessive public panic over the supply of cooking oil. "There's no need to panic too much, there's no need to overspend," he said.

From the results of this inspection, he said, no irregularities were found. However, he continued, if there was a shortage of inventory at the seller's level, it would be caused by delays in distribution.

Meanwhile, the Mayor of Semarang, Hendrar Prihadi, who took part in the inspection, asked the public to be smart consumers. "There is no need for panic buying so that supply and supplies are balanced," he said.

The PDIP politician also asked the public to consider cooking patterns without cooking oil.
