SOE Food Holding ID FOOD prepares supporting facilities in the form of permanent cold storage infrastructure, portable cold storage, reefer containers to an integrated cold fleet, digitally monitored to support the government in the implementation of Government Food Reserves (CPP).

"We are ready to work together to increase the capacity and distribution scheme that is digitally integrated for food logistics, starting from storage warehouses, especially cold storage warehouses supported by the availability of several cold chains that make it easier to reach every consumer outlet," said the Director of Supply Chain Management and Information Technology Holding Food ID FOOD Bernadatta Raras, quoted from Antara, Monday, March 6.

Raras said the facility is to ensure the availability and affordability of food to the district level throughout Indonesia managed by ID FOOD Group through a subsidiary of PT Perusahaan Perdagangan Indonesia (PPI), namely PT BGR Logistik Indonesia (BLI) which acts as an integrator of the cold supply chain integrator.

ID FOOD Group, he said, will optimize the trade and logistics sectors it manages by playing a role as food logistics integrator and attracting synergies with national logistics providers that can be accessed digitally.

Director of Operations of PT Perusahaan Perdagangan Indonesia (PPI) Tri Wahyundo Hariyatno explained that the portable cold storage facility managed by its subsidiary has an advantage over temperature settings that can be adjusted to the needs of other meat, fish and food commodities up to minus 40 degrees Celsius, supported by a capacity of 10 tons for freezing with an ABF machine.

Then, the current storage is only 380 tons and at any time it can be upgraded quickly to a capacity of 1,000 tons. The location is also in the Jakarta regional business center which is close to the port.

"We also optimize dozens of cold chain land transportation fleets that are able to function as successors to sea and air transportation modes equipped with GPS and mobile trace & tracks for monitoring logistics activities through the command center control tower of PT BLI, which is able to distribute food and non-food commodities to remote areas of the district," he also said.

Director of Commercial and Operations of PT BLI Syailendra added that the distribution of food commodities managed is also supported by digital applications through Fleet Integrated and Order Monitoring Application (FIONA), which functions to improve the supervisory function ranging from ordering, distribution, fleet, data quality to reporting information and ordering management.

"ID FOOD Group is expected to support the government in implementing CPP, especially in the food logistics sector, so that the quality of meat, fish or other food commodities is maintained properly," he said again.
