"The public's interest in this low-cost market activity is very high, so that in a day transactions can reach Rp. 10 million to Rp. 20 million," he said.

In addition to oil, continued Uun, as much as 6,500 kilograms of sugar stock was prepared at a price of Rp. 13,000-Rp. 13,500 per kilogram for weighing sugar and Rp. 14,000-Rp. 15,000 for premium packaged sugar.

"The price is below the market price, ranging from IDR 14,000 to IDR 15,000 kilograms for weighing sugar and IDR 15,500-16,000 per kilogram for premium packaged sugar," he said.

In addition to sugar, the basic need that is also being targeted by the public during the low-cost market is syrup because the price is below the market price of Rp. 15,000 per bottle for the ABC brand.
