Minister of Trade Regulation (Permendag) No. 20 of 2026 — Amendment to Permendag No. 43 of 2025 on Packaged Palm Cooking Oil and Governance of the People's Cooking Oil Programme

Minister of Trade Regulation (Permendag) No. 20 of 2026, issued by the Ministry of Trade (Kemendag), amends Permendag No. 43 of 2025 on packaged palm cooking oil and the governance of the People's Cooking Oil programme. The amendment confirms producers' obligation to supply packaged cooking oil for household consumption to meet domestic market needs, and sets administrative sanctions where the obligation is not fulfilled during a shortage of goods.

Key points

• New Article 4A: producers must supply packaged cooking oil for household consumption to meet domestic market needs.
• Sanction trigger: in the event of a shortage of goods, producers that do not fulfil this supply obligation are subject to administrative sanctions.
• First stage of sanctions: written warnings, issued no more than 3 times, each with a period of no more than 14 working days.
• Escalation: if a producer still does not fulfil the obligation after 3 warnings, it is subject to government coercion.
• Forms of government coercion: closure of warehouses and temporary closure, which remain in place until the producer fulfils its obligation.
• Enforcement authority: sanctions are imposed by the senior official responsible for consumer protection and trade compliance, with provisions for recommending the freezing of a producer's SIMIRAH account (the Ministry of Trade's cooking oil information system) in certain circumstances.

Who it affects

Cooking oil producers, and the Ministry of Trade officials responsible for consumer protection and trade compliance.
