"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.
