Plastic Prices Rise, Rice and Oil Prices Also Increase - Tempo.co

The Chairman of the Indonesian Food and Beverage Entrepreneurs Association, Adhi S. Lukman, stated that the increase in plastic prices directly impacts the rise in food and beverage product prices in the market. This occurs because almost all food and beverage products use plastic as packaging, while the supply of that material is starting to become limited.

“Some product prices have already increased. In the market, basic items like rice and cooking oil. It’s not the price of the goods that’s rising, but the packaging price,” he said after attending a coordinator meeting on the US trade investigation, in Jakarta, on Monday, 13 April 2026.
