JAKARTA - PT Pertamina (Persero) noted that its 11 micro and small enterprises (UMK) were able to print the realization of exports of local products worth more than Rp. 9 billion.

Pertamina's Temporary Vice President Corporate Communications Heppy Wulansari said the results were in accordance with the roadmap for developing MSEs starting from traditional conditions, becoming modern, digital, online, and finally being able to become export MSEs.

"These fostered partners have previously received education related to the introduction of MSE exports, identification and adaptation of export products, making export business plans, as well as world market insights," said Heppy, quoted by Antara, Sunday, November 7.

Heppy explained that the majority of the coaches categorized in the Go Global class have exported to various countries in the world, one of which is Abdul Ghofur.

Various products made by Duta Craftindo are in great demand in the international market, including statues made from teak tree roots.

Product enthusiasts are not only Indonesians who live abroad, but also indigenous people who often travel including to Indonesia in search of these quality products.

It is planned that there will be as many as one container or around 70 cubic of products exported to several countries.

From the culinary side, UMK Sanrahfood, which is led by Lina Rahmania, also records deliveries to foreign markets through several resellers who live abroad and sell them in Indonesian stores in the country.

"Indeed, many who buy it are Indonesians (who live abroad). However, when there is an exhibition in Moscow, for example, many Russians buy Indonesian chili sauce," said Lina.

Sanrahfood products are now well known abroad, such as in Australia, Malaysia, Hong Kong, to Dubai. Products that are in great demand are various Indonesian chili sauces.

Lina admitted that in one export, the number of products reached 200-400 bottles.

"Not too much indeed, but often, once a month we can export products abroad," he said.
