Local products<\/p>\n
From Neraca<\/p>\n
It is impossible for the Indonesian government to stop the
\nflood of foreign products by imposing high import taxes. Such an
\neffort is out of date.<\/p>\n
Encouraging the public to love local products and buy fewer
\nforeign items is a better policy.<\/p>\n
In the Fourth Development Cabinet, there was a state minister
\nfor the promotion of local products (UP3DN). Then, Ginandjar
\nKartasasmita and his office conducted many campaigns to promote
\nlocal products.<\/p>\n
Ginanjar Kartasasmita, in a National Chamber congress, said
\nthen that his office had only seen a few results from the
\ncampaigns, which may have been due to a local preference for
\nforeign goods. The office was later closed.<\/p>\n
All parties should continue the campaigns for local products
\nwhile producers need to improve the quality of their products so
\nthat they are able to compete.<\/p>\n
Even though oranges from Pontianak, West Kalimantan, and
\napples from Malang, East Java, are a little bit sour, they are
\nstill okay. But please, don't sell them at a higher price than
\ntheir sweeter foreign counterparts.<\/p>\n
