The Minister of SOE Appreciates Pertashop in Kendal for Distributing 2000 Liters Per Day

Kendal, May 3, 2021 - Pertashop in Tegorejo Village, Kendal Regency, Central Java, can distribute an average of 2,000 liters of Pertamax product every day, demonstrating the improvement of the village economy. It was conveyed by the Head of Tegorejo Village, Udiyono, during a visit by the Minister of SOE, Erick Thohir, Saturday (1/5).

"On average, from sales of about 2,000 liters per day, we can produce a net profit of IDR 25 million per month. This amount is divided evenly between villages, Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes), and managers," he said.

On the same occasion, the Minister of SOE, Erick Thohir, also expressed his appreciation for the achievements of the Pertashop.

"Thank God, with the distribution of 2,000 liters per day from Pertashop, the people will get fuel savings. It will also create jobs," said Erick.

The Pertashop review revealed a lot of optimism for the future. Pertamina hopes that Pertashop that provides the same price and quality fuel will be the solution to fair energy distribution leading to a multiplier impact on economic growth in rural areas.

Pertashop also sells Bright Gas 5.5 Kg, Pertamina Lubricants, and other products and services in addition to fuel.

We invite entrepreneurs, investors, local governments, management of Islamic boarding schools, and anyone to work with Pertamina and the Government to achieve energy and economic independence," concluded the Executive General Manager of Pertamina Regional Central Java, Sylvia Grace Yuvenna who also attended the visit.**
