Tangerang Regency, posinternasional.com

Dozens of journalists’ wives who are members of the Indonesian Journalists Family Association (IKWI) PWI Tangerang Regency, took part in training in managing food stalls or Warteg.

The training was held by the Mbangun Karso Social and Cultural Foundation in collaboration with Member of Commission VI DPR RI Ananta Wahana, the Ministry of BUMN and Telkom at the PWI Secretariat, Tangerang Regency, Friday (5/4/24).

Member of Commission VI DPR RI, Ananta Wahana, revealed that restaurants commonly known as Warteg or Tegal restaurants are one of the restaurant business opportunities.

According to him, this great opportunity does not only apply in Indonesia, but is also wide open in several countries such as the Netherlands and Suriname.

“All food ingredients in Indonesia are in the Netherlands, so food stalls can be set up in the Netherlands,” he said in front of the training participants.

He also said that the opportunity to open a warteg branch in Suriname was also quite wide open. Because he said, there are many people of Indonesian descent from the island of Java.

“If I have the opportunity to go to Suriname later, I will also explore whether we can set up a warteg in Suriname,” he said in front of the training participants.

Meanwhile, Chairman of the Indonesian Warteg Trade Association (HiPWIN), Rojikin Manggala, welcomed the talk of warteg going international positively.

According to him, the warteg business is very promising because it sells everyone’s needs. “This has huge potential, so people don’t need to worry,” he said.

He also tells the story of the struggle to change people’s impression of warteg, which previously seemed dirty, to become clean and modern like today.

Therefore, he hopes that the discourse on Warteg going international can be implemented immediately.

So that typical Indonesian home-cooked food can also be known to people abroad.

“Even though this warteg was born from a village, this warteg is proven to have customers from the lower classes to the upper classes,” he said.

On the same occasion, Chairman of PWI Tangerang Regency, Sri Mulyo explained that this training program was part of his party’s work program to improve the quality of human resources.

The man who is familiarly called Moel also welcomed the training held by the Ministry of BUMN and Telkom.

According to him, apart from opening up insight into the world of restaurants, training can also open up business opportunities for journalists’ families.

Moreover, he said, this was a collaborative activity with IKWI, whose members were journalists’ wives at PWI Tangerang Regency. “I hope this training can broaden the participants’ insight, especially IKWI members.

So that they can open a business using the cooking skills they have practiced,” he said.

After attending the training, the participants, numbering dozens of people, were invited to visit Warteg Indo Bahari in the Bencongan area, Kelapa Dua District, Tangerang Regency.

There, they were invited to learn the procedures for managing food stalls and also as a reference for opening other food stall businesses.
