Prices Often Soar, KPPU Asks Bapanas to Determine the Highest Retail Price for Garlic

FOOD COMMODITY - JAKARTA. The Business Competition Supervisory Commission (KPPU) has issued a warning to the government about the need to establish a reference purchase price (HAP) or highest retail price (HET) for garlic commodities. This is due to the frequent price surges of garlic without any standardization.

"The issue at hand is the reference purchase price (HAP), which we have found to be non-existent," stated KPPU Chairman M. Fanshurullah Asa during a meeting at the KPPU Building, Jakarta, on Tuesday (21/5).
