PT Food Station Tjipinang Jaya has launched a strategic program "FoodHub" to support the growth of MSMEs in Jakarta, especially those operating in the grocery stall sector.

They (MSMEs) have great potential

PT Food Station Tjipinang Jaya President Director, Karyawan Gunarso said that of 375,092 MSMEs, 33,758 or nine percent are food stalls.

According to him, FoodHub was launched to support them by supplying quality food products at affordable prices and providing assistance in store and financial management.

"They (MSMEs) have great potential as partners in the distribution of staple food. Additionally, the digitalization of the system will help them record financial transactions to get access to capital," he expressed, Thursday (1/2).

By doing so, they could also give analytical feedback on the most popular products, thus Food Station would keep innovating to meet market needs.

He was optimistic that this program could boost the efficiency of food distribution while creating mutually beneficial partnerships between farmers, producers, distributors, and consumers.

"It will encourage the progress of thousands of MSMEs in Jakarta for a better future, especially food stores," he stressed.

He added the program itself would guarantee the availability and affordability of food products in the community, including increasing MSMEs' welfare. Even, it had touched 25 MSMEs at the end of last year as the beginning of the socialization process.

"Our hope is we can further strengthen the function and support of the inflation program, as well as develop the people's economy, namely through MSMEs," he closed.
