Participating in IFBC, BPDP Expands Market Access for Plantation SMEs

The Palm Oil Plantation Fund Management Body (BPDP) is actively participating in the Info Franchise & Business Concept (IFBC) exhibition, held at the Jogja Expo Center from July 3-5, 2026. This initiative aims to provide a significant boost to small and medium-sized enterprises (UMKM) within the plantation sector, offering them expanded access to markets and opportunities.

During the exhibition, visitors can explore a variety of processed products derived from palm oil, coconut, and cocoa. Helmi Muhansah, Head of Community Cooperation and UMKM Division at BPDP, highlighted the strategic importance of IFBC as a platform to connect UMKM owners with potential partners, investors, and the general public. "IFBC serves as a strategic forum to introduce various superior products based on plantation commodities to the public, business actors, and potential investors," Muhansah stated.

BPDP's participation is driven by a commitment to support the development of UMKM in the plantation sector through programs focused on enhancing business capacity, expanding market reach, and strengthening downstream processing of plantation commodities. Muhansah expressed hope that this involvement will create more collaboration opportunities and encourage UMKM to grow, innovate, and elevate their businesses. "We hope BPDP's participation can open up more collaboration opportunities and encourage plantation UMKM to continue to grow, innovate, and move up the class," he added.

The agency emphasizes the vast potential of Indonesia's plantation commodities to be developed into value-added products. Through collaborations like the one at IFBC 2026, BPDP aims to foster a new generation of entrepreneurs capable of transforming plantation potential into innovative and competitive products for both national and global markets.
