At the inauguration of a toll road, Jokowi asks for the foreign brands can not sell on its rest area

News24xx.com - At the inauguration of the Kartasura-Sragen toll road, at the toll gate of Ngemplak, Boyolali, Central Java, President Joko Widodo gave his speech to the guests and accompanied by Minister PUPR, Basuki Hadimuljono and Minister of SOE Rini Soemarno, and the Governor of Central Java. This special and related message about food and beverages which usually sold in rest areas.

Jokowi's request to toll road managers is no longer prioritize foreign products sold in the rest area. Conversely, managers are encouraged to hold small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) who present the original products of the country.

"Do not let the point that there are economic activities that are filled with foreign brands. I ask for every rest area, does not have the foreign brands selling their products. But replaced the with sate, soto, and gudeg" said Jokowi.

Jokowi also asked the Minister of PUPR Basuki Hadimuljono and SOE Minister Rini Soemarno to cooperate with the district / city and provincial governments to make this happen. Thus, the products of SME actors can be sold in the rest area and help improve the economy of the community.

By involving the participation of MSMEs, Jokowi hopes no one complains about the turnover due to infrastructure development. According to Jokowi, development must be implemented in order to improve Indonesia's competitiveness with other countries.

"Otherwise, we will be abandoned by other countries, we have left our neighboring countries in our infrastructure sector We have lost to Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam I do not want to be left by Laos and Cambodia because of our inaccuracy in fundamental development" said Jokowi.

However, President Jokowi has not touched on the rental price for the rest area for the licensed MSMEs. During this time the problem of small business actors is the rental price of business places that make it impossible for them to sell at strategic locations.
