JAKARTA - Chairman of the Association of Indonesian Food and Beverage Producers (Gapmmi) Adhi S Lukman said the demand in the food and beverage sector (Mamin) was not in line with the expected target.

"This time it's strange, this year, we don't have a very significant peak. Almost a lot of companies say there is no significant peak in Lebaran this time," said Adhi when met by media crews at the Ministry of Industry Building, Jakarta, Wednesday, May 10.

Adhi said that Lebaran 2023 this time did not become the peak increase for the Mamin industrial sector. This is because his party found an increase of up to 30 percent which had previously been targeted not to be achieved.

"At first I was optimistic that the prediction (increase) could be around 30 percent above the monthly average, yes, but it turns out that this year's results from yesterday's report, many companies said there was no significant peak in Eid this time," said Adhi.

According to Adhi, retail distributors have actually made quite high orders for their respective stocks until Lebaran 2023. However, sales for the Mamin sector in February-March have not shown a significant increase.

Until finally, two weeks before Lebaran 2023, it was only seen that there was an increase in sales. "Even though it's not as good as we expected, but there's still an increase, maybe less than 30 percent," he said.

Furthermore, Adhi said, he had read one of the surveys and based on the results of the survey it was known that public spending during the Lebaran 2023 period had increased more at travel costs.

"Maybe because all tickets go up, yes, travel costs increase, but the costs for Mamin expenses are reduced, including clothes. So, a little expenditure for Mamin," he concluded.
