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.

Weaknesses of Indonesian Economic

            Chamber of Indonesia Commerce and Industry (Kadin) declared Indonesian economy that is actually very promising for both domestic and foreign investors. However, there are still weaknesses seeing by Kadin of the economy that need to be addressed. Vice Chairman of Kadin Indonesia, Novian Anindya Bakrie said, promising Indonesian economy is evidenced by incoming investment, private consumption, and vibrant business world.

“But there are still some weaknesses that Indonesia’s economic structure needs to be addressed now,” said Anindya at Menara Kadin Jakarta, Wednesday (06/03/2013).

Anindya see Indonesia’s economic weakness is in the trade deficit. Currently due to larger imports than exports then it makes more Indonesian trade balance to be deficit. Moreover, the largest import of oil and gas.

            On the other hand, Anindya also highlights subsidy of oil (BBM) to the people who actually are not even on target. Current budget fuel subsidy enjoyed by the rich instead.

“As the impact, the deficit and the high pressure gas imports that led to the weakening of the rupiah,” he added.

Again, the actual budget for infrastructure even neglected. He rated in the last few months that there is no improvement of government policy so that a problem cannot be resolved. Though foreign investors intending to invest in Indonesia as it will look up the bureaucratic infrastructure. If not good, then foreign investors will pull out of Indonesia.

How Economic Factors Affect Consumer Behavior

How Economic Factors Affect Consumer Behavior

Are you losing customers and blame online sales?

            When I visit businesses with slow sales I hear many excuses for why they have so few customers this month. It seems they are willing to blame online sales, the local government policies, or even the local council.

Their comments only serve to highlight the fact they do not understand that the current economic factors have more to do with the customers behaviour than any of those other factors.

            The single biggest factor for consumer behaviour spending patterns is how secure they feel their short-term future is regarding savings, employment and home payments.

The more insecure they feel about the economy, the more they will pay down debt or keep money for the rainy days. This ‘happiness’

What the current economy means to your customers

            They are unsure if they will be able to keep the family home, pay for their retirement and even if they will have a job in the next six months.

So the consumer goes into survival mode by saving money and stopping all unnecessary spending. As a business owner or manager you need to pay attention to the local economic factors as they will mean the difference between meeting your sales targets or not.

PILPRES , NO GOLPUT YAAA !!!

GOLPUT ? GOLPUT BUKAN SOLUSI ,AYOO MEMILIH !!!!!!

            9 Juli tinggal hitungan hari, tandanya pemilihan Presiden Republik Indonesia akan segera datang. Presiden yang nantinya terpilih diyakini dapat membawa perubahan bagi Indonesia yang lebih baik. Siapa pun yang menjadi presiden dan wakil presiden, tentu orang itulah yang terbaik, karena mereka adalah pilihan rakyat.

             Tahun ini tahun pertama saya ikut serta dalam pemilihan presiden , karna saya baru berusia 19 tahun, dan juga Bagi mereka yang lahir di tahun 1993 – 1997, tahun ini adalah tahun pertama juga mengikuti pesta demokrasi rakyat untuk memilih presiden dan wakil presiden. Alasan “pertama kali” inilah yang seringkali membuat anak muda lebih memilih untuk tidak menyuarakan pilihannya alias Golput alias Golongan Putih . Ada juga yang beralasan karena tidak mengerti politik sehingga memilih untuk tidak ikut memilih, hanya ikut merasakan hari liburnya saja, hihihi . Padahal, suara mereka sangat dibutuhkan untuk kelangsungan hidup bangsa dan negara Indonesia. Tidak hanya anak muda, orang dewasa pun masih ada yang berpikir untuk golput. Kemungkinan besar alasannya karena selama ini siapapun yang menjadi pemimpin negara, tidak ada pengaruhnya bagi kelangsungan hidup mereka. Hal terkecil yang bisa dilakukan adalah ikut berperan aktif sebagai warga negara yang baik dalam menyuarakan pendapat dan suara di Pemilu , so? Jangan golput yaaaaa  satu suara sangat berarti lhoo.

            Oyaaa ,perlu di ingat juga nihh ….Tidak ikut memilih / golput  adalah bukti bahwa seseorang setuju dengan keputusan apapun yang terjadi nantinya. Itu artinya, setiap kebijakan baru dari pemerintahan yang baru tidak bisa dijadikan sasaran protes orang-orang yang tidak memilih. karena bagaimana bisa seseorang hanya ikut mengomentari yang buruk padahal sebelumnya tidak memberi kontribusi yang jelas atas kelangsungan hidup negara. Apabila seseorang memilih dan ternyata pilihannya menang lalu presiden dan wakil presiden pilihannya ini menjalankan kebijakan-kebijakan yang tidak sesuai janji saat kampanye, maka layak untuk dikomentari dengan sopan. Begitu juga yang terjadi apabila seseorang memilih dan ternyata pilihannya tidak menang, maka dia tetap berhak berkomentar tentang kinerja pemerintah karena menurutnya yang seharusnya memimpin bukanlah yang terpilih ini, melainkan yang menjadi pilihannya. Maka dari itu, bila memang punya kesempatan untuk memilih,kenapa tidak? Ya ga teman ? tetapi jangan memilih untuk duduk diam dan hanya melihat saja ya ,,hehehe, sampai kapanpun negara ini tidak memiliki daya juang untuk maju. Jadilah warga negara yang baik yang tahu bagaimana berperan, tidak hanya menjadi komentator saja. Semoga postingan saya dapat menjadi pertimbangan ya , untuk yang sekarang masih berfikir ingin golput . terimakasih ..

Cinta Indonesia ? jangan golput ………
