"We are committed to continuing to support MSME exports from Jambi. We hope that Jambi MSME export commodities will continue to increase with adequate facilities and support from various parties," he said in a written statement on Oct. 2, 2024.
Benny also gave his appreciation to all parties involved in this export process, including the Indonesian Quarantine Agency (Barantine) Jambi Animal, Fish, and Plant Quarantine Station (Jambi Quarantine), Pelabuhan Indonesia's Region 2 Jambi branch (Pelindo Jambi), the Jambi office of Biro Klasifikasi Indonesia subsidiary Superintending Company of Indonesia (Sucofindo), as well as Blantica Academy.
With this export, Jambi Customs hopes to continue to encourage local MSMEs to take a bigger role in global trade, so that more leading commodities from Jambi become known and in demand in various countries.
