KARAWANG - The Regency Government (Pemkab) of Karawang, West Java, allocated a budget of around Rp. 2.7 billion this year for assistance in the capital of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).

"The assistance is for the development of MSME actors in Karawang," said Karawang Regent Cellica Nurrachadiana, reported by Antara, Sunday, January 8.

He conveyed that the capital assistance was not in the form of money, but in the form of goods needed by MSME actors.

"So the assistance can be in the form of ovens, milling machines, mixers, or any goods, which are useful for increasing production," he said.

He hopes that with this capital assistance, more and more people's businesses can be helped and developed.

For residents or MSME actors who are interested, he said, they can immediately register and make proposals, both grouply and individually, addressed to the Karawang Cooperatives and MSMEs Service.

Meanwhile, a few days ago the Regent of Cellica reviewed the program of the Karawang Cooperatives and MSMEs at a number of points to ensure that empowerment and assistance programs for MSMEs were right on target and had a positive impact on their development.

"I met with the owner of the rempeyek business Nok Uus in Bakan Jati Adiarsa Timur. The peanut farmers he has been selling since 2014 continue to experience an increase in turnover after assistance and guidance from the government," he said.

The assistance provided starts from the manufacture of PIRT certification from the Health Office, patent brands, packaging labels, halal logos, business capital, to sales and marketing.

Rempeyek Nok Uus has penetrated approximately 70 well-known minimarkets such as Indomaret and Alfamart throughout Karawang.

The regent also visited the maker of coconut root cakes at Karaba Housing on Interchange Street. Umi Dahliana, owner of the Kapa Dua Puteri Root cake, is an MSME fostered by the Karawang Cooperatives and MSMEs Service.

Food for the Kalapa root cake market made by Umi Dahliana has penetrated souvenir shops in Jakarta, Bekasi, Karawang, to Bandung. The turnover per month can reach IDR 30 million per month.
