Jakarta, 8 September 2024 – PT Freeport Indonesia took two Micro, Small, and Medium businesses (MSMEs), namely Maria Bintang Laut Cooperative and Rumah Kopi Amungme Coffee House to participate in the “Jelajah Kuliner Indonesia 2024” (Exploring Indonesian Cuisine 2024) event organized by the Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) taking place in the Sarinah Thamrin Shopping Center in Central Jakarta on 6 - 8 September.
"This is a Freeport Indonesia endeavor to open up access to marketing, promotional, and collaboration opportunities for the MSMEs we sponsor, and at the same time invite the public to taste diverse Papuan cuisine, including, of course, our own centerpiece, Kopi Amungme coffee," PT Freeport Indonesia Deputy President Director Jenpino Ngabdi conveyed, following the official opening of the “Jelajah Kuliner Indonesia” MSME Bazaar.
Jenpino said PTFI continually strives to encourage Indonesia’s economic growth, and support promotion and increased sales of MSME products. Over the last several years, PTFI has been actively involved in community empowerment initiatives through provision of mentoring, sponsorship, and training for communities in Papua.
"Freeport Indonesia believes empowering MSMEs is the key to creating a sustainable economy and this is reflected in the company’s commitment to upholding social responsibility, in particular towards supporting local economies,” he said.
PTFI Director & EVP, Sustainable Development and Community Relations, Claus Wamafma informed, from 2019 through 2024, the company’s entrepreneurship advocacy program achieved establishment of 234 Papuan MSMEs/ UMKM and employment of 1,798 individuals. In total, funding for this program amounted to Rp 72.5 billion, resulting in revenue amounting to Rp 1.5 trillion.
Subsequently, under a mentoring and development program for empowering a community economy based on fishery and plantation commodities, MSME cooperatives have engaged 1,200 members, with revenues totaling in excess of Rp 86 billion.
Freeport expects participation in the MSME bazaar to generate and encourage a spirit and enthusiasm for entrepreneurship, and to strengthen wider competitiveness of local products, both in Timika and across the nation,” Claus stated.
The MSME Bazaar with the heading Exploring Indonesian Cuisine 2024 took place on 6 - 8 September in the Sarinah indoor and outdoor areas. This activity is sponsored by four state-owned companies, namely Bank RakyatIndonesia (BRI), Garuda Indonesia, Jamkrindo, and Freeport Indonesia, with 100 MSMEs participating, including, among others, Bebek Sinjay from Madura, and Pecel Madiun Yu Gembrot from Madiun, in addition to featuring iconic Eastern Indonesia culinary items such as papeda, roti abon gulung and other enticing dishes.
From Papua, Maria Bintang Laut Cooperative presented iconic Papuan culinary sensations including Nastar Sagu, Abon Ikan, Sambal Ikan Asin, Kerupuk Tambelo, Keripik Mamade, along with sago flour and sago rice. Kopi Amungme from Intan Jaya Highlands invited people to taste their tantalizing coffee. Their coffee stall located in the Sarinah outdoor area offered 110 gram and 250 gram packaged coffee costing from Rp75 thousand to Rp150 thousand. Milk coffee sweetened with palm sugar, Milk 68, cappuccino, and coffee latte were available for visitors wishing to savor the coffee. Those with a desire to taste iconic dishes from the region were able to do so in the outdoor area, where abon gulung, nastar sagu, papeda and sagu forna were served.
“We hope the participation of Papuan MSMEs helps to introduce and make iconic Papuan food more popular among the public,” Jenpino said.
