They packed the MSME booths set up in the circuit, Festival Beach, and Dolphin Park. The peak occurred from 11 AM to 1 PM and from 4 PM to 6 PM.

The best-selling products were cold drinks and heavy meals. As experienced by Citra, an MSME assisted by East Jakarta Jakpreneur who sold Nasi Kebuli (spicy fried rice cooked in goat broth) at the event.

She felt very grateful. Besides being proud to sell at a prestigious event, her products were also sold out

"Alhamdulillah, buyers keep coming since 10 AM. But, it's a bit quiet at 3 PM. Maybe because they're watching the race," she expressed, as quoted by Jakarta's press release, Monday (6/6).

The same statement also came out from Haryono, an owner of Macaroni Nampol. Besides selling well, the event could also raise the name of its product on social media.

“I'm very grateful and proud. Thanks to the Jakarta administration and the organizing committee of Jakarta E-Prix," he stated.

Jakarta Industry Trade Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises (PPKUKM) Agency Head Elisabeth Ratu Rante Allo also directly inspected the MSME booths and was proud to introduce 260 MSMEs at the international event.

She uttered that the administration implemented the digitization of MSME transactions by requiring the purchase of MSME products using QRIS.

"No target yet we are optimistic to get big profit. Thus far, we got hundreds of millions. Hope it will continuously increase from Sunday's sales," she added,

Previously, the agency required all MSMEs that passed the selection to participate in the Jakarta E-Prix using QRIS as a payment method to facilitate monitoring the development of the MSMEs, both per event and long term, thus they will make policies that are right on target in the future following the needs of MSMEs.

Using QRIS, the payment process via scanning QR codes from various types of payment platforms only requires one type of QR code.
