Dony said the quota of 293 tons of cooking oil for Central Sulawesi was an additional intervention carried out by the central government through PT. Multi Nabati Sulawesi, PT. Sinar Mas Agro Resources and Technology Tbk and PT. Wilmar Nabati Indonesia. The three giant producers intervened by distributing distributions to distributors in four points, Palu City, Toli-toli District, Poso, and Banggai (Luwuk). "The points from Palu City include Sigi, Donggala, and Parimo, the Toli-toli points cover Buol Regency, the Poso points cover Tentena, Tojo Una-Una as well as North Morowali, and Morowali, the points in Banggai include the Banggai brothers, and the distribution is already underway. walk," said Dony. Therefore, he asked the public to be wise in responding to the current condition of the availability of cooking oil in the market, as well as in shopping places. "No matter how much cooking oil comes in, if the people are not wise, for example, buying the cooking oil for the next r 2 or 3 months, then it will never be enough for the city to supply, so we continue to educate them to buy just enough," said Dony.
