Indonesian producer signs RM550,000 food export deal with Malaysian trader
A separate agreement with an indicative value of RM408,000 will explore cross-border business and investment opportunities.
Indonesia’s CV Berkah Pangan Nusantara has signed a contract with Malaysia’s MAW Global Trading to export seasoning products worth US$134,652 (about RM550,000). The products will be distributed in Johor and Pahang.
The Sidoarjo, East Java-based producer will supply seasoned flour, cooking spices and condiments. The Indonesian Consulate-General in Johor Baru facilitated the signing at Trade Expo Indonesia (TEI) 2026 in Tangerang, alongside a separate agreement to explore business partnerships.
MAW Global Trading representative Ahmad Amirul Latepi said Indonesian processed foods offered market opportunities in southern Peninsular Malaysia and on the east coast. Producer director Ryza Sulistyanawati said her company was prepared to supply products consistently to serve Malaysian demand and broaden distribution.
The second agreement links the Dumai chapter of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN) with the Malay Economic Development Chamber (MEDC). It has an indicative value of US$100,000 (about RM408,000), covering potential cooperation in oil and gas, integrated business development, worker skills certification, tourism and health tourism.
MEDC president Zaini Atan said Indonesian workers needed stronger technical and vocational education and training to meet Malaysian industry standards. KADIN Dumai chairman Zulfan Ismaini said technical business meetings would follow. Indonesian Consul-General Sigit S. Widiyanto said further action was essential to realise economic benefits, adding that food distribution could potentially extend to Melaka and Negri Sembilan.
