T
he Australian Embassy introduced on Tuesday its premium food and beverage products to Indonesia through the Australian Culinary Trails which will be held for the second time this year from April 21 to 26 at the Grand Indonesia Mall in Central Jakarta.
"We see great potential to increase our engagement in the food sector and hope these events will open up the opportunities for the industry of both in Australia and Indonesia," Australian Ambassador to Indonesia Paul Grigson said.
There are around five stalls of Australian food and beverages, ranging from wines, milk, snacks, cheese, cereal, as well as almonds, and 11 stalls of products from Indonesian entrepreneurs who are alumni of Australian schools. The food showcased will change on a daily basis.
"When people visit Australia, they don't know that Australia is a food and wine destination," Australian Trade and Investment commissioner Matt Durban said.
Wine is a particular segment that the Australian Trade Commission has taken an interest in with 1000 new wine labels registered from Australia in Indonesia last year.
"I find the wine sector in Indonesia is very exciting, but very strange in some ways. The Indonesian taste for wine is very discerning, they only go for the best wines, often the most expensive. It's a small segment but very high in value," Durban added. (fsu)(+++)
