The Bandung City Government (Pemkot) is trying to increase the stock of Minya Kita products, which are now experiencing scarcity in the Bandung City market, West Java. The Mayor of Bandung, Yana Mulyana, said that scarcity usually occurs when religious holidays occur. So that the need and supply becomes volatile. "Hopefully later we can ask the Ministry of Trade (Ministry of Trade) again, it can be supplied again for market operations," said Yana in Bandung, West Java, Antara, Tuesday, January 31. According to him, 96 percent of the basic needs of the city of Bandung depend on supplies from outside the region. For this reason, the Bandung City Government is also trying to maintain the availability of existing stocks. Apart from the Ministry of Trade, the Bandung City Government is also coordinating with the West Java Provincial Government regarding the scarcity. "We are trying to fulfill the supply, because demand ahead of religious holidays usually increases," he said. Now a number of traditional markets in the city of Bandung are experiencing a shortage of Minya Kita products. One of them is at the Kosambi Market. A trader Siti (40) admitted that our oil products have been experiencing scarcity since early 2023. According to him, distributors have also distributed the products on a limited basis. "It is allocated from there, one carton of 12 packs of one liter size," he said. According to him, very many residents are looking for our oil products. However, because it is rare, according to him, many residents are now turning to bulk oil. "Now (Our oil) is being hunted by many of Minya Kita because the price is cheap," he said.
