        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs continues to\nstrive to accelerate the economic recovery of disaster-affected SMEs in\nSumatra, one of which is by strengthening their involvement in the Free\nNutritious Meals Programme (MBG). Deputy for Micro Enterprises of the\nMinistry of SMEs, Riza Damanik, in a press statement in Jakarta on\nFriday, conveyed that the increase in the number of kitchens in the MBG\nProgramme will drive demand from SME suppliers. For this reason, the\nMinistry of SMEs held a Workshop on Developing Production Capacity for\nAffirmative Micro Enterprises Affected by Disasters and Enhancing Micro\nEnterprise Capacity to Support Free Nutritious Meals in West Sumatra.\nShe explained that these efforts are part of the government\u2019s commitment\nto restoring the community\u2019s economy while improving the competitiveness\nof SME actors in disaster-affected areas. \u201cThrough this workshop, it is\nhoped that outstanding SME entrepreneurs will emerge as strong and\ncompetitive suppliers, ready to meet the needs of kitchens and establish\ncooperation with the Nutrition Fulfilment Service Unit (SPPG) throughout\nIndonesia, especially in West Sumatra,\u201d said Riza. The workshop was\nattended by 200 food sector SME actors and operational support actors\nfor kitchens. Subsequently, the participants will undergo a curation\nprocess to join further training and mentoring, up to the partner\nmeeting or business matching stage with the Nutrition Fulfilment Service\nUnit (SPPG) in the West Sumatra region. For this, she assessed that\nclose and sustainable collaboration is needed between the Ministry of\nSMEs, the National Nutrition Agency (BGN), and local governments in\npreparing quality SMEs, from increasing production capacity, fulfilling\nfood safety standards, to strengthening business governance. According\nto her, cross-sector synergy is key in building an inclusive and\nsustainable MBG ecosystem, so that SMEs not only play a supporting role,\nbut as strategic partners capable of providing safe, nutritious, and\nquality food products for the community. \u201cThrough the synergy between\naffirmative support and the expansion of SME entrepreneur involvement in\nthe MBG Programme, it is hoped that disaster-affected SME entrepreneurs\nwill not only be able to rise, but also grow sustainably and become\nincreasingly competitive,\u201d said Riza.<\/p>",
