Suara.com – Bogor Mayor Bima Arya paid a working visit to Japan. The several agendas that will be discussed include following up on opportunities for cooperation with the Indonesian Embassy (KBRI) in Tokyo to open opportunities for Rancamaya durian exports and investment in the development of a halal food center.
Hidayatullah, Head of the Governance Section of the Bogor City Regional Secretariat, said that Bima Arya for the next two days, or March 2-3, 2023, will meet with potential economic potential investors in Bogor City.
Hidayat said this visit was a follow-up to the previous meeting between Bima Arya and the Indonesian Ambassador to Japan Heri Akhmadi at the Bogor Botanical Gardens on 1 February 2023.
“One of the points discussed at that time was the export potential of Rancamaya Durian to Japan. The Ambassador had personally tasted the original Rancamaya Musang King durian. He said it was not inferior to durian from Malaysia, which has so far dominated exports to Japan,” said Hidayatullah, Wednesday (1/1 3/2023).
