Jakarta, Indonesia Sentinel — The Indonesian Ministry of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) has announced a firm stance against e-commerce platforms that fail to support the empowerment of local businesses. Minister Maman Abdurrahman stressed the importance of collaboration to bolster domestic entrepreneurs and warned of potential bans for non-compliant platforms.

Adapting to the Digital Era

Speaking at Pasar Tanah Abang, Central Jakarta, on Wednesday, January 15, 2025, Maman acknowledged the inevitability of digital transformation. He emphasized that local MSMEs must adapt to the shifting marketplace landscape to remain competitive.

“MSME entrepreneurs across Indonesia are facing the rapid currents of the digital market,” Maman said. “Whether we like it or not, this is an unchangeable reality.”

Strict Measures for E-Commerce Platforms

To ensure local MSMEs thrive, Maman called for active participation from e-commerce platforms in promoting domestic products. He warned that any marketplace failing to accommodate local products would face serious consequences, including potential shutdowns.

“All digital marketplaces must facilitate and encourage the sale of local products. If not, we will coordinate with the Ministry of Communication and Digital Economy to impose closures,” Maman declared.

Symbolism in the New Ministry Logo

On the same day, the Ministry of MSMEs unveiled a new logo featuring a glowing candle to symbolize light amidst darkness. The logo represents resilience and hope for MSME entrepreneurs navigating challenges in their journeys toward success.

During the unveiling ceremony at Tanah Abang, Maman explained the deeper meaning behind the candle. “The candle represents the presence of MSME entrepreneurs who have experienced darkness and found their way toward light,” he said.

This “darkness” refers to the failures often faced by entrepreneurs. Maman emphasized that setbacks are integral to understanding success, stating, “Failure is a part of the journey given by Allah SWT to help us appreciate the meaning of light and success.”

A Call for Resilience and Innovation

The new logo launch was witnessed by key government officials, including Deputy Minister Helvi Yuni Moraza and Coordinating Minister for Community Empowerment Muhaimir Iskandar.

Maman expressed hope that the logo would inspire entrepreneurs to persist in their endeavors and innovate boldly.

“May this logo serve as a beacon of inspiration for all of us moving forward,” he concluded.

Empowering MSMEs in a Competitive Era

The ministry’s initiatives reflect its commitment to equipping MSMEs for success in an increasingly competitive digital landscape. By advocating for stronger e-commerce participation and introducing symbolic gestures like the new logo, the government aims to empower local entrepreneurs to achieve sustainable growth and resilience in the face of challenges.
