According to Daud, the exhibition is a strategic step in encouraging the growth of the food and beverage industry in the Yogyakarta region. The exhibition is also a forum for promotion, collaboration, and business development including food, beverages, packaging, and tea.

"We hope that this exhibition can strengthen Yogyakarta's local potential to be more competitive in the national and global markets," said Daud.

With the exhibition, it is a strategic platform to showcase various innovations, technology, and the latest trends in the food, beverage, processing, and packaging industry. This exhibition is a common ground between industry players and potential buyers.
