The government officially reopens exports of crude palm oil ( CPO ) starting tomorrow, Monday (23/5/2022). However, the price cooking oil was observed to be above the highest retail price (HET) of Rp. 14,000 per liter or Rp. 15,500 per kilogram (kg).
Based on the Market Monitoring System and Basic Needs of the Ministry of Trade on Sunday (22/5/2022), the price of bulk cooking oil was still at IDR 17,000 per liter.
Previously, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) revealed that the reason for the opening of the CPO export faucet was because the price of cooking oil had fallen in the market. According to him, before the export ban, the price of bulk imports was in the range of Rp. 19,800/liter.
"(However) after the export ban, the national average price fell to Rp 17,200 to Rp 17,600," Jokowi said in a virtual press statement, Thursday (19/5/2022).

"IKAPPI asks the technical ministry to find the right formulation so that distribution can run well and there is an abundance of cooking oil in the market," said IKAPPI Secretary General Reynald Sarijowan, Sunday (22/5/2022).
