The Foods and Beverages
Merchants in Jabodetabek Lost Their Income Until Rp 200 billion
Bad weather that hit
several regions in Indonesia is large enough to impact the food and
beverage industry in this country. For only the Jabodetabek area, the
floods predicted suppress the turnover to 25 percent.
Chairman of the Food and
Beverage Association of Indonesia (Gapmmi) Adhi Lukman explained, a
decrease of revenue is due to the difficulty of the distribution of
products from the factory to the market because of the flooding
block. Thus, it spreads on the decline in consumption.
As an overall result,
Adhi estimated the food and beverage industry in Jabodetabek lost the
income until Rp 200 billion per day. “In the normal situation, the
income in each day for this region reached USD 800 billion,” he
said on Tuesday (01/21/2014).
It is not only the
distribution to the consumer, food and beverage manufacturers must
also bear the losses due to the distribution of raw materials from
the another region which also faltered.
For example, the
transportation of fresh fruit and meat from Central Java, currently
takes up to four days. Though, it usually takes only a half day.
“Whereas within five days, the fresh raw materials will rot in
about 50 percent” he said.
It hasn’t counted yet
the losses because the factory could not be operated due to workers
who could not get in because of flooding, or because there is no
electricity supply due to outages by PLN in some areas.
Despite the losses is in
sight, according to Adhi, manufacturers of foods and beverages will
not raise their selling prices. Because this problem is only
temporary.
