Teten Releases Export Of Nilam Oil And Rp1 Billion Nuts To France

JAKARTA - Minister of Cooperatives and SMEs (Menkop UKM) Teten Masduki released the export of raw materials for the manufacture of 1.2 tons of tilap oil and nutmeg perfume or IDR 1 billion to France.

The raw materials exported are the production of PT UGreen Arotics International (UGreen), a subsidiary of the Nilam Aceh Innovation Producers (Inovac) and PT Nat' Green.

Chairman of the Inovac Cooperative Nadia said that for every three months she routinely exports nylam oil to France. However, she admits that currently the production of farmers who are members of the Inovac Cooperative is still unable to meet all demand for raw materials to France as much as 6 tons.

"The capacity at the new farmer level is able to produce as much as 1 ton of patchy oil and that is only supplied from farmers in Gayo. Meanwhile, farmers in other areas are also not able to sufficient," Nadia said in a written statement, quoted Monday, December 11.

Therefore, he hopes that the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs (Kemenkop UKM) through the Revolving Fund Distribution Institution (LPDB)-KUMKM can help in terms of financing to farmers so that the need for black oil exports to France can be met.

Meanwhile, the Director of the Atsiri Research Center (ARC), Syaifullah Muhammad, said that his party is currently not only sending raw materials for exports, but also processing and producing them themselves.

The processing and production are not only perfume, but also cosmetic and health products because they contain anti-aging in them.

"From every single palm oil production, we always set aside 20 percent of domestic production and 80 percent of it is brought to the export market. We have produced about 30 products for the domestic market," he said.
