Contagious! Cooking Oil Prices Rise in 224 Regions of Indonesia, This Much in Jakarta
Cooking oil prices remain high in traditional markets, where the increase in plastic packaging prices is also a contributing factor.
Based on CNBC Indonesia’s monitoring at Pasar Minggu in South Jakarta on Monday (27/4/2026), cooking oil prices have risen for all types, both premium and bulk varieties.
Tono, one of the traders at Pasar Minggu, revealed that cooking oil prices are still high.
“The prices haven’t come down yet. Tropical 2 litres is still Rp45,000, Tropical 1 litre Rp22,500, Sovia isn’t 1 litre, but 800 ml for Rp20,000,” said Tono when met by CNBC Indonesia on Monday (27/4/2026).
Not only well-known brands, second-tier cooking oil brands are also still expensive. In his shop, cooking oil Fitri is sold in 400 ml and 200 ml bottle sizes. The prices are also still high.
“For Fitri 400 ml it’s Rp15,000, Fitri 200 ml Rp7,000,” he continued.
As for Minyakita, he admitted he has deliberately not sold it for a long time.
“For Minyakita, we don’t sell it, it’s been a while, not because it’s unavailable, we just don’t sell it,” he said.
In agreement with Tono, Yusuf, another trader, stated that cooking oil prices are still high. Even for bulk cooking oil, he sells it for Rp23,000 per 1 kg.
“Yes, cooking oil prices are still high, premium cooking oil 2 litres is already above Rp40,000, bulk cooking oil now Rp23,000 per 1 kg,” said Yusuf.
In fact, bulk cooking oil prices once rose to Rp25,000 per 1 kg at the start of the Iran vs United States (US) war.
“Bulk cooking oil 1 kg even reached Rp25,000, before Eid, now it’s down a bit, but still high, usually Rp19,000-Rp20,000,” he explained.
Although prices are still high, cooking oil supplies remain normal with no shortages. However, for Minyakita, many traders are not selling it.
“For regular cooking oil, the stock is still safe, but for Minyakita, it’s indeed unavailable now, usually it comes every two weeks, about 10 units, now there’s none,” he said.
Previously, the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) stated that the rise in cooking oil prices needs to be monitored, given that the increase is becoming more widespread.
Deputy for Distribution and Services Statistics at BPS, Ateng Hartono, said the rise in the Cooking Oil Price Development Index (IPH) has increased to 224 regencies/cities in the fourth week of April 2026. This figure is up from the third week of April 2026, which reached 207 regencies/cities.
“Cooking oil needs attention because the number of regencies/cities experiencing an increase in IPH is quite significant. In the third week of April, there were only 207 regencies/cities, now it’s 224 regencies/cities experiencing an increase in IPH in the fourth week of April 2026,” said Ateng during the inflation coordination meeting of the Ministry of Home Affairs on Monday (27/4/2026).
