The Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin) supports business actors in the food and beverage industry to be more innovative and globally competitive. Therefore, the government is also encouraging domestic food and beverage companies to collaborate with international partners. This step aims to transfer technology and knowledge and expand export market expansion. Moreover, so far, the food and beverage industry has been one of the sectors that has received priority for development because it plays an important role in supporting the national economy.
“The food and beverage industry has become the backbone of the non-oil and gas processing industry, with a significant contribution to the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and job creation,” said Minister of Industry Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita in a written statement, Monday (2/6/2025).
One example of international cooperation that has just been realized in the food and beverage industry sector is between PT Niramas Pandaan Sejahtera (NPS) and Tarami Corporation from Japan. PT NPS is a subsidiary of PT Niramas Utama (NU), a producer of food and beverage products with the INACO trademark. Meanwhile, Tarami Corporation is the number one fruit jelly producer in Japan based in Nagasaki and is part of DyDo Group Holdings Ltd.
Through this collaboration, NPS produces fruit jelly in cup packaging with high standards equivalent to production standards in Japan through the Japan Quality Line, a special production line that guarantees the safety, quality, and deliciousness of products equivalent to products produced in Nagasaki, Japan.
This project is also supported by Kawasho Foods Corporation (Tokyo, Japan) which is a partner in procuring some of the raw materials. The entire production process, from raw materials to the final product, is carried out in a halal manner and in accordance with internationally recognized halal certification standards.
NPS President Director Adhi S. Lukman, said that with the existing facilities, as well as a good work ethic, his party believes that this collaboration will run well and sustainably. The company is also committed to continuing to present healthy, safe, and high-quality products for Muslim consumers around the world.
“We also appreciate our partners for the work ethic improvement program for our human resources so that they can be more productive and efficient and able to produce product quality equivalent to Japanese products,” he said.
By combining innovation, halal values, and Japanese quality, the collaboration between NPS, Tarami Corporation and Kawasho Food Corporation is expected to be an example of cross-country synergy that produces real benefits for the global community, especially Muslim consumers who are increasingly aware of the importance of quality halal products.
