Supervision of the Medan City Trade Department of Storage of Stockbuster Goods

Business actors are prohibited from hoarding or storing more than the maximum amount permitted or beyond reasonable limits, with the intention of gaining profits, resulting in staple goods becoming expensive or soaring in price. The role of the Trade Service in supervising business actors in storing staple goods is in the form of coaching and supervision of business actors. Supervision is carried out to minimize deviations and act in accordance with applicable regulations, so that business actors truly fulfill their obligations. The existence of supervision is one of the actions to eliminate or reduce the possibility of violations of applicable provisions. The obstacle for the Medan City Trade Service in enforcing the law on storing staple goods is because there are still weaknesses in the substance of its technical regulations in Presidential Regulation Number 71 of 2015, so that in the context of cases of hoarding staple goods and important goods, law enforcement cannot apply Article 29 paragraph (1) in conjunction with Article 107 of Law Number 7 of 2014 concerning Trade.
