Chairman of the Indonesian Association of Retailers and Shopping Center Tenants (Hippindo) Budihardjo Iduansjah hopes that the Inabuyer B2B2G Expo 2026 can be a platform for businesses, micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to carry out variations of the products produced.
This was conveyed by Budihardjo at the opening of the Inabuyer B2B2G Expo 2026 at the Smesco Building, Jakarta, Tuesday, May 5.
"We hope that Mr. Minister (MSMEs) will vary the products. From the retailer, he wants new product innovations, new packaging every year, so that we sell more easily than we import," said Budihardjo.
According to Budihardjo, the Inabuyer B2B2G Expo 2026 event can also support the strengthening of government strategic programs, such as Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) to three million homes.
Thus, said Budihardjo, this will create an industrial ecosystem in the country and retailers can get purchasing power.
"Purchasing power is very important. With the rise in small and micro enterprises (UMK), foreign tourists will eventually come because our products are good," he said.
The Inabuyer B2B2G Expo 2026 activities were officially held starting today, Tuesday, May 5, 2026.
This is the fourth Inabuyer event after it was successfully held on July 23-25, 2025.
It is known that the Ministry of Cooperatives, Small and Medium Enterprises (UMKM) together with the Indonesian Association of Retailers and Shopping Center Tenants (Hippindo) will again hold the Inabuyer B2B2G Expo 2026 exhibition on May 5-7.
The exhibition provides an opportunity for MSMEs to expand their markets and raise the class of their products.
Deputy Minister of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (UMKM) Helvi Moraza targets that the value of Inabuyer B2B2G Expo 2026 transactions reaches IDR 2.5 trillion, a significant increase compared to the previous year's achievement.
Helvi said that the market potential for MSMEs is very wide open, especially through government spending commitments.
According to regulations, there is a minimum allocation of 40 percent or around Rp. 400 trillion from state expenditures that are dedicated to UMKM products.
"Last year, we recorded transactions of Rp. 2.1 trillion. This year, we are targeting success with a figure of Rp. 2.5 trillion. The government has opened the widest possible opportunities," Helvi told reporters at the Smesco Building, Jakarta, Tuesday, May 5.
He added that this target not only targets government spending through LKPP, but also involves the role of the private sector, ranging from retail outlet owners to entrepreneurs who use UMKM products directly.
