JAKARTA - The Indonesian Retail Entrepreneurs Association (Aprindo) plans to stop selling cooking oil (migor) in several parts of Indonesia.
This option was made because the payment for the replacement of the difference in selling prices at the economic price of cooking oil (Rafaction) had not yet been paid by the Ministry of Trade (Kemendag).
Chairman of Aprindo Roy N. Mandey said that it had been more than a year since the payment for the cooking oil ratio had not been completed.
"In the past period of more than a year, Aprindo has conducted formal and informal hearings, time and time, but until now our efforts have not produced information on the completion and certainty of the payment of cooking oil raids," he said in a written statement, quoted on Friday, February 14.
Roy even said that his party had sent a letter to President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) on March 27 regarding the stalled cooking oil which had not been completed protracted.
He hopes that President Jokowi will provide concrete solutions for the flow of cooking oil, which until now has not been clear about the completion and certainty of the payment of cooking oil rates for the period January 19-31, 2022, according to the instructions of the Minister of Trade Regulation Number 3 of 2022.
"According to Aprindo data as of January 31, 2022, the bill for the fraction of cooking oil is more than Rp. 300 billion from national and local network retailers throughout Indonesia," said Roy.
Therefore, said Roy, his party is currently initiating various options when this faction has not been paid by cooking oil producers.
"The option is to stop the purchase/procurement of cooking oil from producers/massers of cooking oil in the near future," he said.
Furthermore, Roy also hopes that President Jokowi can pay attention to the completion of the payment of the cooking oil ratio.
"This is considering the large number of raids that are very meaningful for retailer Aprindo members, in the midst of the retail business which is currently still not fully recovered as before the pandemic," he added.
