He advised the public not to panic, and to buy cooking oil for the market operation as needed, which is 2 liters per family so that all the people get a share.
“When it comes to cooking oil stocks, don’t worry, everything is being coordinated across sectors. We will continue to strive so that the supply and price of cooking oil return to normal as usual. It is the government’s duty, both executive, legislative and law enforcement officers to ensure that all food stocks are safe and have stable prices,” he said. (mhn/bbs/ril)
