BEKASI – Until now, national cooking oil price is stable though the main food commodities, such as, rice, increase. This, as Corporate Affairs Director PT Sinar Mas Agro Resources and Technology Tbk (SMART), Harry Hanawi, happens for enough stocks of cooking oil.

To stabilize the cooking oil price, Sinar Mas through its subindustry, PT SMART does some things, such as, cooperating with the Ministry of Trade and Provincial Governments to make bazaar to the people. It has been running since 2005.

Beside that, he explained, to fulfill the cooking oil stocks, Sinar Mas has built some factories in some regions. “In the beginning, we built it in Surabaya only and now the factories are in 7 regions,” he recently explained in Bekasi.

So, if we depend on the factory in Surabaya only, automatically, the transportation fee will be more to other region and will make more expensive to sell. (T3)
