BENGKULU - The Bengkulu Province Department of Industry and Trade (Disperindag) said that the stock of cooking oil in Bengkulu could not meet the daily needs of the Bengkulu people.
The head of Bengkulu Province's Industry and Trade Agency, Yennita Syaiful, said that Bengkulu people's cooking oil needs reached more than 62 thousand liters.
Meanwhile, the stock or availability of cooking oil in Bengkulu Province from distributors is only around 47 thousand liters.
"Currently, the availability of cooking oil from 17 cooking oil companies does not meet the needs of the community," Yennita said, quoted by Antara, Monday, March 7.
He explained that from February 16 to March 6, the availability of cooking oil was sufficient to meet the daily needs of the Bengkulu people.
However, in reality, the availability of cooking oil at the distributor and retailer level is empty, so people are asked to buy cooking oil as needed.
He will soon carry out market operations again, but his party will prepare carefully so that there will be no more crowds and riots.
"We actually doubt the parties under the distributor and we ask agents and retailers not to withhold cooking oil," he said.
