Chief of Presidential Staff, General TNI (Ret.) Dr. Moeldoko, identified serious problems in marketing agricultural commodities in Indonesia. Until now, there is no adequate solution to overcome the problem of price instability which has a negative impact on the welfare of farmers and the sustainability of the agricultural sector.

To face this problem,

Moeldoko gave the example of shallots which are currently harvested, but the price is very low. However, there is potential for this product to be exported to other countries that need it. Therefore, it is important to connect the domestic market with foreign markets.

For additional information, Tridge is a startup company from South Korea that develops an agricultural data platform. They connect buyers with sellers of food and agricultural commodities from around the world. Moeldoko acknowledged that digital technology and artificial intelligence are urgently needed to change the agricultural sector in Indonesia. As Chair of HKTI, he leads the Maju Tani Nusantara movement, which aims to encourage young people to get involved in the agricultural sector through the Meta Farming approach.

Tridge CEO, Shin Hyun-seok, came to the Presidential Staff Office to explore cooperation with the Indonesian government in agricultural and food development. They focus on developing data and connecting Indonesian products with buyers around the world. Shin Hyun-seok claims that the platform they developed provides food and agricultural market data and insights that can help governments make more informed decisions to increase agricultural productivity and food access. Currently, Tridge has collaborated with governments in more than 150 countries.
