Tubagus Fiki said, "Lewi's Organics assures us that SME products, especially lewi's Organics, are in great demand both at home and abroad. We really appreciate how Levi's Organics can take on the role of an aggregator that consolidates farmers and MSMEs affected by the pandemic.
The incorporated MSMEs have gone through a curation stage which must be in accordance with the objectives of Lewi's Organics, where the product is self-produced, cannot be imported, not a distributor or reseller, but must be created by the MSME brand itself.
"Our vision and mission is to motivate young MSMEs to start moving not only to become consumers, importers, and not only to become traders, but to produce something," added Levi.
The pandemic, continued Levi, could be a good start to open markets abroad. "This event provides motivation, hope, and sustainability. We want to transmit how our business can be consistent, and understand what the market needs. Many Indonesian products, such as coffee, are recognized abroad. Because the pandemic cannot go to Indonesia, the products are exported. ," said Levi.
