Minya Kita Hilang, Masyarakat Tanggamus Lampung Pilih Usakan Minyak Tawon

TANGGAMUS - Head of Trade for the Department of Small and Medium Industry and Trade Cooperatives (Diskoperindag) Tanggamus, Lampung, Syaifudin Juhri confirmed the scarcity of Oilita in the Tanggamus region.

"Regarding Oilita, it is currently rare in Tanggamus, it is even almost lost in the market," said Syaifudin Juhri when confirmed by ANTARA, Monday, February 27.

He said that currently in Tanggamus there is more circulation of Tawon oil than Oilita. The volume of oil found in the market is also limited.

"Even if there is oil, we only have two liters to three liters," he said.

He also revealed that the problem with the scarcity of Oilita was not only in Tanggamus Regency, but throughout Indonesia.

"This incident is also not only in Tanggamus because every Monday we hold meetings throughout Indonesia with the Minister of Home Affairs," he explained.

He said the Minister of Home Affairs currently has plans to add Oilita supplies for the future.

"The plan is that there will be approximately 43,000 tons per month," said the Ministry of Home Affairs yesterday, if I'm not mistaken," he explained.

Then, he said, the sale of Oilita was only intended for traditional markets and was not allowed to enter modern markets.

Regarding the scarcity from Oilita in Tanggamus, Lampung, his party has not been able to find the answer. Currently, the price of Oilita is not fairly in accordance with the price set by the government.

"In Tanggamus, the price of Oilita can reach Rp. 16 thousand to Rp. 17 thousand per liter," he said.

According to him, the traders admitted that they bought Oilita for Rp. 15 thousand per liter from the tourists who came.

"I also asked the distributors that they didn't understand because those who came were only sales using cars," he said.

This is a special discussion of his party because the price of Oilita is above the Highest Retail Price (HET)

"Regarding the inappropriate price, this is also a special discussion for all of us, in zoom meetings they all really question this," he said.
