According to the data collected by the ministry, in 2014, 200.000 foreign and 11 millions domestic tourists visited North Sumatera contributed to US$ 1.6 billion to the gross domestic product and $200 million in foreign exchange reserves. However, these numbers are said to be ‘disappointing’. (1)
“Those who use imported product are the one that suffer from this dilemma the most. The price for the imported product components increase, but it is unlikely for the producers to increase selling price as people’s purchasing is under pressure as well,” said Stefanus Indrayana, Indonesian Food and Beverages Association (GAPMMI) deputy secretary general. (2)
To solve the problem, he said, the business player should find substitute for their imported product. “If there are domestic products that can be used to substitute the components, use them. For instance, we could use domestically-produced crude palm oil. The price is falling since the supply of the product is high, and the demand is not. This could be the substitute for the imported one,” he added. (3)

“Mineral water, for instance, costs around Rp 5,000 (36 US cents) per bottle while water as its main material costs no more than Rp 500. What makes the product more expensive is the imported bottle,” said Enny. (5)
