Presidential candidate (candidate) number 3 Ganjar Pranowo immediately absorbed the aspirations of the people (blusukan) at Nguter Market, Sukoharjo, Central Java, Tuesday, and was interested in buying healthy herbal medicine stamina from traders Rusmiyati (61) for IDR 200 thousand.

Initially, Ganjar wanted to accommodate the needs related to the development of local herbal medicine so that it could become an herbal product loved by the world community.

However, when he arrived in front of Rusmiyati's herbal stall, Ganjar was interested in buying a bottle of bottle of extract seahorses containing 20 packages of two capsules.

"Earlier, Mr. Ganjar asked how many capsules were, I said Rp. 10 thousand, but if one bottle costs Rp. 200 thousand," said Rusmiyati when confirmed by reporters.

Ganjar also issued two red notes from his pocket to buy a bottle directly from Rusmiyati's herbal medicine stall at Nguter Market.

"I am happy with his presence. I hope that it can make the market more advanced and more crowded," said Rusmiyati.

After that, Ganjar also visited a number of other herbal entrepreneurs, including the Mbak Mar Kiosk and the Jamu Sumber Sehat Kiosk.

Ganjar found that in the market there were various empons as the main raw material for the manufacture of traditional herbal medicine. In addition, there are also herbal products that have been packaged ready to drink.

Traditional herbal medicine sellers in Nguter can remain sustainable because they have been fighting for quality standards for herbal medicine products for generations since their business started from grandmothers going down to children, grandchildren and so on in that place. By mixing 100 percent of natural ingredients and not mixing with chemicals at all, each generation develops contemporary herbal products with strict quality control in every process so that herbal medicine can reach abroad.

However, according to Ganjar, the promotion of herbal products in the market can still be improved with the support and alignment of Indonesian ambassadors abroad.

"The ambassadors can strengthen the position of local herbal medicine in their place, so outlets (directs, ed) where guests are treated to herbal medicine. I think this is part of a pretty good promotion," said Ganjar.
