SURAKARTA - Surakarta Mayor Gibran Rakabuming Raka asked providers of application-based food delivery services not to burden micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) by incurring shipping costs that are too large.

"The large delivery fee also kills MSMEs," he said in Solo, Central Java, Wednesday, December 20.

Gibran admitted that he had submitted his objection to the management of the application-based food delivery service provider.

"I conveyed this directly to his boss at the Solo Techno Park (STP) yesterday," he said.

Gibran said the shipping costs were too large not only detrimental to SMEs or sellers but also online motorcycle taxi drivers.

"Yesterday I also summoned the head of the community. This policy also harms drivers, but so far it can be discussed," he said.

Gibran said if the cost of food delivery services is not reduced, he will create his own application so that MSMEs are helped and can grow bigger.

"There's nothing wrong with making it ourselves. Not wanting to compete, but if it's going well, there's no need, if it's detrimental, we make it ourselves, why not," he said.

However, if it is necessary to make an application, he will not make it haphazardly.

"Yes, if you make an application, you don't use sake (carelessly). So far, you don't see sake," said Gibran.
