The number of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in\nDenpasar City, Bali, reached 33,036 units in 2025. This figure marks an\nincrease from 32,856 businesses recorded in 2024. The culinary sector\nremains the most dominant, with a total of 11,087 enterprises.<\/p>\n
\u201cMSMEs have grown the most in the food sector. We can see this from\nevents like exhibitions and festivals that rely on MSMEs. For example,\nwhen we curate around 100 participants, we receive 300-400\nregistrations. Food businesses are indeed simpler to start and manage,\u201d\nstated I Dewa Made Agung, Head of the Denpasar City Cooperative and MSME\nOffice, in an interview with the detikBali team on Wednesday\n(22\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n
Based on 2025 data, MSMEs in Denpasar are predominantly\nmicro-enterprises spread across various sectors and districts. These\ninclude 3,687 culinary businesses in West Denpasar, 3,087 fashion\nenterprises, 91 education ventures, 806 automotive businesses, 3,487\nagribusinesses in North Denpasar, 297 internet technology firms in South\nDenpasar, and 1,044 other sector enterprises in North Denpasar.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe track them via NIB (Business Identification Number). However, an\nNIB doesn\u2019t necessarily mean the business is new; it could be an\nestablished one that has only recently obtained its permit,\u201d Agung\nexplained.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause all businesses are actually required to have an NIB. But for\nvery small ones, with limited information, they get confused about the\nprocess, especially older entrepreneurs. They often feel it\u2019s not\nnecessary, so they rarely bother,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
According to Agung, the NIB plays a crucial role in recording and\nhelps the government reach local businesses, particularly when they face\ndifficulties.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe provide assistance. Previously, we could directly help process\nNIB applications for MSMEs that came to us. But now, with system\nchanges, we can\u2019t handle the processing anymore, though we still offer\nguidance. We also conduct outreach to markets,\u201d Agung said.<\/p>\n
Education and training (Diklat) for MSMEs are provided variably\naccording to their needs in business management, ranging from product\ndevelopment and food processing to financial systems.<\/p>\n
The Denpasar City Cooperative and MSME Office also offers supporting\nfacilities for product marketing. \u201cMarketing is what they really need.\nI\u2019m confident their products are good, but how can they level up without\nproper marketing? We provide product photography and podcast spaces to\nassist their marketing strategies. There\u2019s also an MSME corner featuring\nproducts exclusively from our assisted MSMEs,\u201d Agung stated.<\/p>\n
The Denpasar City Cooperative and MSME Office emphasises that MSME\nregistrations in the area are only for holders of Denpasar-specific\nIdentity Cards (KTP). \u201cOur financing is for our residents; otherwise, it\ncould cause issues during checks. Other districts like Badung and\nGianyar have their own programmes,\u201d Agung clarified.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/denpasar-msmes-reach-33-000-by-2025-dominated-by-culinary-sector-1776876645", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
