Ministry of Transmigration Supports SMEs at Inacraft 2026, Transactions Reach Hundreds of Millions of Rupiah
Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Ministry of Transmigration opened an exhibition booth at Inacraft 2026 to facilitate small and medium enterprise (SME) partners in transmigration areas, successfully attracting 3,724 visitors and recording sales of up to Rp154 million during the event.
Director of Promotion and Marketing of Superior Transmigration Products at the Ministry of Transmigration, Widarjanto, stated in an official release in Jakarta on Thursday that the figures demonstrate that superior products from transmigration areas possess strong appeal and are capable of competing in the national market, with the potential to penetrate global markets.
He conveyed that participation in the event represents a concrete step by his directorate in expanding market access whilst strengthening the business ecosystem of transmigrant communities.
Participation in Inacraft 2026, he continued, constitutes one of the implementations of Minister of Transmigration Regulation No. 8 of 2025 on Transmigration Transformation through the strengthening of the Trans Karya Nusa programme, particularly in the promotion and marketing of processed local commodity products.
"This participation is not merely about exhibiting products, but about opening broader market access and connecting business operators with prospective buyers and potential partners. This is part of our strategy to strengthen the competitiveness of superior transmigration products," said Widarjanto.
The Ministry of Transmigration's booth featured five superior products from transmigration areas: ikat woven cloth from Melolo, East Sumba; ecoprint and sasirangan fabrics from Barito Kuala, South Kalimantan; accessory crafts from Mesuji, Lampung; purun weaving from Kapuas, Central Kalimantan; and batik from Pesisir Selatan, West Sumatra.
Yuswanti Atandau, one of the ikat weaving entrepreneurs from Melolo, expressed her pride at being able to sell her handmade products directly at the international-scale exhibition, which took place from 4 to 8 February.
"I am grateful to have been able to come to Jakarta and participate in the exhibition, bringing East Sumba woven textiles," she said.
