Sandiaga Promises to Maximize Resources When Visiting the Chocolate Factory.
WartaJurnal. Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno visited the PT Kalla Kakao Industri chocolate factory in Kendara, Southeast Sulawesi. Candidate number 02 candidate vice president regretted the lack of supply of local cocoa. Even though this can be an added value and Indonesia's position does not shift as one of the largest cocoa producers.
"If given the mandate as servants of the Indonesian people, we will conduct link and match between people's cocoa and the business world and the government in the concept of public private partnership. This includes replanting or replanting involving the three parties. In economic conditions like this, it is not right we do import policies even though we have the resources, only to be maximized, "said Sandi in a written statement.
To Sandiaga, President Director of PT Kalla Kakao Industri's factory Ahmad Zaki Amiruddin also revealed the increasingly scarce supply of cocoa from Indonesia, especially from Sulawesi.
"Now the raw materials are very difficult to obtain. Even though in 2000 Indonesia had a cocoa surplus, so there was a ban on the export of raw materials and invited industries to process cocoa in Indonesia. Unfortunately, production has declined, so we have to import from Ecuador and Ivory Coast, Africa, to "meet our production," Ahmad explained.
Ahmad added that the need for cocoa is still very large for the chocolate industry in the world. Indonesia should be able to become a player as one of the biggest cocoa producers.
"It's a shame if there is a decline in cocoa farming, but it seems that there is a decrease in the number of production, even though Indonesia from the last data has 1.6 million hectares of cocoa fields. Unfortunately, some of them have no rejuvenation. continued Ahmad.
