Budget 2021: RM400mil injection to COSS will help B40 group, says Nanta


KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The RM400mil injection for the Cooking Oil Price Stabilisation Scheme (COSS) through Budget 2021 is expected to have a major impact on the B40 target group, says Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi (pic).

The Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister said COSS is able to minimise the impact of crude palm oil price hike on cooking oil prices, stabilise the retail price of subsidised cooking oil for local household use and ensure adequate supply in the market.
