Oil is born when cooking oil is rare
Reported Kompas.comWednesday (7/13/2022), Oil was a packaged cooking oil which was launched in July 2022 by the Minister of Trade of the Republic of Indonesia at that time, Zulkifli Hasan (Zulhas).
The oil was launched as an effort to stabilize food prices, especially cooking oil, in the domestic market, reported from Kompas.comMonday (10/3/2025).
At that time, the price of cooking oil on the market increased from Rp. 20,000 to Rp. 25,000 per liter. In fact, not a few regions in Indonesia are experiencing scarcity of cooking oil.

Meanwhile, the existence of oil also aims to make it easier for people to get cooking oil and facilitate its distribution throughout Indonesia, especially to eastern Indonesia.
At the launch, Oil is distributed at the highest price of Rp. 14,000 per liter.
The existence of the oil at that time was claimed to be able to ensure that people get cooking oil in accordance with the set HET.

The existence of this oil is also certain to not erase the existence of bulk cooking oil in the People’s Market.
Add from Kompas.comWednesday (6/7/2022), the condition of the highest retail price of bulk cooking oil in Java and Bali was in accordance with government policy of Rp 14,000 per liter.
Nationally the average price is at Rp. 15,000 per liter because cooking oil in eastern Indonesia still touches Rp 20,000 per liter.

Zulhas said, the price of bulk cooking oil in eastern Indonesia was expensive due to logistics constraints.
Because, he continued, the distribution of bulk cooking oil to eastern Indonesia still uses large to one tonted storage area for each tank.
This makes the distribution of cooking oil to the islands and highlands in the regions of Papua, Maluku, and some Sulawesi tend to be more difficult.
Therefore, the existence of oil is expected to facilitate the distribution process without being hampered by logistics problems.
