The performance of the Indonesian food and beverage industry will still show positive results in 2022. The industry will even make a large contribution to GDP. Director General of Agro Industry of the Ministry of Industry Putu Juli Ardika said the food and beverage industry is the driving force for the non-oil and gas processing industry in Indonesia. This is due to Indonesia’s abundant natural resources and increasing domestic demand. “Indonesia’s food and beverage industry GDP grew 3.7% in the third quarter of 2022. So that makes it the sub-sector with the largest contribution to GDP,” said Putu when met by detik.com at the inauguration of the SIAL InterFood 2022 at JIEXPO, Kemayoran, Wednesday (9/11 /2022).
The Indonesian Government’s efforts to control the COVID-19 outbreak have also been a factor causing the non-oil and gas processing industry to experience growth. In fact, the sector presented a fairly positive performance. “This is shown by the performance of the non-oil and gas processing sector which managed to recover 4.88% in the third quarter of 2022,” Putu explained.
“In the period from January to September 2022, exports of the food and beverage industry reached US$ 35.9 billion, experiencing a positive trade balance compared to imports of food and beverages in the same period of US$ 12.7 billion. The food and beverage industry was able to attract investment of Rp41,37 trillion until the second quarter,” said Putu.
“The SIAL InterFOOD exhibition at JIEXPO, Kemayoran, Jakarta November 9-12 2022 is the right exhibition to promote Indonesian food and beverages that have the potential to be known to foreign markets. In addition, the participating micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) at this exhibition we can expand our network and increase our business to go international,” said Daud D Salim, CEO of Krista Exhibitions.
