Without adequate packaging, the risk of product\ndamage increases, distribution efficiency is disrupted, and ultimately,\nnational food security may be weakened.<\/p>\n<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Indonesian Food and Beverage Producers\nAssociation (GAPMMI) appreciates the steps taken by the Minister of\nIndustry (Menperin) Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita to ensure the continuity\nof plastic packaging raw material supplies amid geopolitical\nturbulence.<\/p>\n<p>GAPMMI General Chairman Adhi S. Lukman views the guarantee of plastic\npackaging availability as a crucial factor for the resilience of the\nnational food and beverage industry, especially amid the dynamics of the\ncrisis in the Strait of Hormuz region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government\u2019s efforts to integrate upstream and downstream\nindustries represent a strategic step so that the entire industrial\necosystem can mutually support each other. This synergy is vital to keep\nthe food and beverage industry resilient in facing global\nuncertainties,\u201d Adhi stated in his remarks in Jakarta on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that packaging is not merely a complement but a vital\nelement in the national food system because it functions to maintain\nproduct quality and safety, extend shelf life, and ensure smooth\ndistribution from producers to consumers across Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>GAPMMI also emphasised the importance of joint commitment between\nupstream and downstream industries in maintaining the continuity of\nplastic packaging supply so that its benefits can be felt evenly,\nincluding by small and medium-sized industries (IKM).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIKM are the group most vulnerable to price distortions and raw\nmaterial shortages. The guarantee of packaging supply will help IKM\nmaintain business continuity, sustain product competitiveness, and avoid\nspikes in production costs,\u201d Adhi said.<\/p>\n<p>Amid global logistics challenges, including the increase in raw\nmaterial delivery times from an average of 15 days to around 50 days,\nGAPMMI encourages the evaluation and relaxation of policies or\nregulations that are feasible in extraordinary conditions.<\/p>\n<p>In this regard, GAPMMI supports the Ministry of Industry\u2019s efforts to\nstrengthen national petrochemical industry independence through\ndiversification of plastic packaging raw material sources and reducing\nimport dependency.<\/p>\n<p>With close collaboration between the government and industry players,\nthe food and beverage sector is expected to remain a pillar of economic\ngrowth as well as a supporter of national food security.<\/p>",
