BEKASI - Minister of Trade (Mendag) Zulkifli Hasan said that the purchase of subsidized oil or oil palm would not use an Identity Card (KTP).
According to the minister, who is often called Zulhas, the purchase of Oil and Forestry with the scheme of showing ID cards will only be a hassle later.
"No (must use an ID card), it's a bit of a hassle," Zulhas told reporters in the Bekasi area, West Java, Friday, February 10.
He also has a solution to sell the government's oil so as not to cause scarcity again in the future, namely by limiting the purchase of oil up to two liters.
"Now I'll just add two liters. Well, there will be two liters of shoppers or two bottles there, yes," he said.
Zulhas also ensured that the sale of Minya Kita could only be done in traditional markets. This is an effort to prevent the scarcity of cooking oil intended for the underprivileged.
"Our online sales stop, our wholesale stops, now we focus on traditional markets, so if we look for Oil, yes, to the market," he added.
For your information, the Ministry of Trade (Kemendag) has just issued a new policy regarding the purchase of Oil. Based on Circular Letter Number 3 of 2023 concerning Sales of People's Cooking Oil, the purchase of Oil is only allowed 10 kilograms per person in a day

"The sale of People's Fried Oil as referred to in letter a is not allowed to use a bundling mechanism with other products," said Kasan.
The circular also prohibits retailers from selling Manyalitas more than the highest retail price (HET) of IDR 14,000 per liter. Producers, distributors, and retailers must comply with domestic sales prices (domestic price obligation).
