Malang City Government Assists Tobacco Industry Businesses with Data Reporting

The Malang City government, through its Department of Cooperatives, Industry, and Trade (Diskopindag), is actively supporting businesses in the Tobacco Product Industry (IHT) to improve their production data reporting. The initiative focuses on guiding these businesses through the National Industry Information System (SIINas), ensuring that industry data is recorded accurately and effectively.

Eko Sri Yuliadi, head of Diskopindag, stated that the assistance is designed to help IHT business actors overcome technical and procedural challenges in reporting. "This assistance is aimed at helping IHT business actors who still face technical or procedural obstacles in data reporting. With targeted assistance, it is hoped that the reported production data will become more accurate, complete, and timely," Eko explained.

The SIINas platform integrates industry data, making accurate and regular reporting by businesses crucial for orderly industry governance. The program also encourages businesses to view data as essential for their operational management, providing clear insights into production conditions and industry development. "We want to ensure that business actors do not merely fulfill administrative obligations but also understand the importance of this data for the sustainability of their industries," Eko added.

Technical guidance and support are provided through collaboration with various entities, including the Data and Information Center of the Ministry of Industry, the East Java Provincial Industry and Trade Office, and the Malang City Investment and One-Stop Integrated Service (DPMPTSP). This collaborative effort enhances business actors' understanding and helps resolve reporting issues. The initiative is funded by the Tobacco Product Excise Revenue Share (DBHCHT), aimed at supporting the development and strengthening of regional industries. Eko expressed optimism that compliance and active participation from IHT business actors in Malang will continue to increase.
