“We will develop the Tempo Circular Economy Award for the following years. In the future there will be other categories from different industries.

The main purpose of this award is to give appreciation to those who have taken valuable initiatives in implementing practices that are in line with the circular economy.

This award is important because the initiators who play a role in the circular economy appear in the midst of the majority of industries or organizations that still carry out their business activities in a linear manner.

Sunpride 27 Years in Indonesia: Advancing Indonesian Fruit Agriculture

The National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas) in 2021 reported that food waste, alias food waste, in Indonesia over the past two decades has reached 115 to 184 kilograms per capita annually.

The food sector that experiences the most food chain wastage is fruit and vegetables. In fact, in the Asia-Pacific region, nearly half of fruits and vegetables are wasted or lost before they reach consumers.

Bappenas also reports that, the economy due to loss and wastage of food ranges from IDR 213 trillion to IDR 551 trillion per year. This amount is equivalent to 4-5 percent of Indonesia’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This is one of the concerns of the CEO of Fresh Fruit and GTM, Cindyanto Kristian.

“Indonesia still has a lot of food waste, for example fruit. The fruit that is planted after the harvest is not sold well and is of good quality,” said Cindy at the 27th anniversary of Sunpride at the Pakubuwono Hotel, Jakarta, Thursday (22/12).

For this reason, Sunpride seeks to create a fresh fruit ecosystem in Indonesia. The fresh fruit ecosystem that is the focus of Sunpride aims to maximize fruit production from farmers.

The goal is to reduce food waste. This ecosystem can also ensure that the quality of the harvested fruits is well preserved to the consumer’s table.

With a commitment to a sustainable circular economy, Sunpride works closely with the government and farmers. locally to realize the ecosystem.

“From one banana tree, we cannot harvest and eat all of the fruit. So, how can we make one banana tree, even though we can’t use all of it, it can be useful and nothing is wasted. That is one of our commitments in the circular economy,” said Cindy.
Apart from the high record of food waste, the irony of fruit farmers in Indonesia also appears during the main harvest.
“In developed countries, during the main harvest the farmers smile happily. However, in Indonesia, farmers are crying because the price has fallen and the fruit is not sold, which results in food waste,” said Cindy.

Sunpride’s solution for this is to calculate product capacity and develop a supply chain from farmers to markets. This includes the type of packing, the type of carrier transportation, and the time of harvest.

In addition, Sunpride is also currently developing Sunpride blockchain traceability technology for some of their flagship products.

With blockchain traceability, Sunpride can determine the condition of the fruit at every stage, from the farmer to the store, thereby maintaining the quality of the fruit delivered.

To help improve the village to national economy, Sunpride continues to develop its partnerships with local fruit farmers in partnerships.

“There are three forms of our collaboration to improve the fresh fruit ecosystem in Indonesia,” said Jane Fransisca, CEO of Farmers Empowerment & Partnership.

Representatives of PT Great Giant Pineapple (PT GGP) were also present accompanying the Deputy Regent of North Lampung (Lampura) Ardian Saputra at the inauguration and handover of the Horticulture Post-Harvest production house building in Bumi Restu Village, Abung Surakarta District, North Lampung Regency, Tuesday (13/13/2019) 12).

This production house is devoted to the production of banana chips which will be managed by the local village Glamas Sejahtera farmer group which is under the auspices of PT GGP.

“Processed cavendish banana chips produced by MSME Elmuna have been part of PT GGP’s support,” explained MSME Chairperson Elmuna Tri Misrati during a dialogue with the Deputy Regent of Lampura Aldian Saputra.

Aldian Saputra really appreciates the construction of the MSME Elmuna banana chip processing house. According to him, this building is considered very useful for farmer groups in managing crops to become quality MSME products.

“Hopefully this can continue to be useful for a better production process and produce quality products that are acceptable to the market,” said Aldian.

The production house is equipped with post-harvest processing equipment for horticultural commodities. With the existing facilities, it is hoped that it can develop other local products while also being able to provide added value to farmers.

“The existence of this production house can reduce the damage to agricultural products, and farmers can get higher added value because the handling of the production process is better starting from handling raw materials, washing, grading, sorting, heating at high temperatures, packaging and storage are getting better,” said Tri Misrati.

“Previously raw materials were easily damaged during storage, especially for the fruit and vegetable group, causing the sales results of these agricultural products to not be optimal,” said the head of this MSME.
