The Perumda Pasar Jaya has been offering cheap cooking oil at Rp 14,000 in all managed food outlets. It is implemented in line with the central government's move to impose one-price cooking oil in supermarkets, traditional markets, and marketplaces.

Gatra Vaganza, General Manager and Public Relations of Perumda Pasar Jaya said, the brands of cooking oil sold include Garing, Filma, Tropical, Food Station, and Gurih. The public can directly come to all food outlets managed by Pasar Jaya to buy the cooking oil.

"To prevent panic buying, each buyer can only buy two liters of cooking oil at a price of Rp. 28,000 per two liters. We want Jakarta residents to easily and cheaply get cooking oil at a low price," he expressed, Monday (1/24).
