Selling point in Malaysia: Made of 100% IMPORTED potatoes 🥔 Products coming from abroad = quality? I don’t know what is the state of potato farming in Malaysia but still, I find it interesting that importing goods is used as a marketing message. 🤔 In many Western countries products that are locally produced are considered better than the imported ones. In Finland for instance, we want to support the local economy and make an ecological choice to choose locally produced products. (Usually the most ecological choice, not always) 🌱 Seeing this marketing of “made of 100% imported potatoes” on a bag of chips in Malaysia I realized how differently people value things in different countries. I don’t know what the perception of people in Malaysia towards locally produced food is, whether it is lower quality or not so “premium”. There’s probably quite a lot needed to be able to shift this ideology. Just throwing in an idea: if imported goods are considered as quality here in Malaysia, it conflicts a bit with doing things sustainably which usually requires local products. Does the quality of “imported goods” go over ecological choices here? 💭 This is why people should travel, to understand how people think in different countries. 🗺️ Feel free to comment in English or in Finnish what are your thoughts about this! #travel #newideas #localmarketing #localfood #importing

Food is a pillar of the nation's sustainability and prosperity. It's essential, not just as a basic need, but also as a marker of a country's well-being and stability. In this regard, the vision of Indonesia Emas 2045 clarifies the importance of food security as one of the main focuses. Therefore, identifying opportunities and setting targets in the food sector are crucial steps that we must delve into and understand in order to realize that vision. 🌾🍲 #KadinIndonesia #IndonesiaEmas2045

Nearly a third of all food produced worldwide is wasted – as are the resources used to produce this food. Food loss is one of the main causes of hunger and, while Solinatra repurposes harvest waste, we can all help in tackling food loss in our own kitchens! Our colleague has set a zero food waste policy and is trying really hard to keep her words about this. Tips we collected along the way: - Smart shopping goes hand in hand with meal planning: just like packing your always-too-small suitcase for holidays; mix and match ingredients over meals and days so everything is used before expiration. - Leftovers? Get creative – there is always a way to use last night’s dinner! - Compost, don't trash: in case your leftovers can't be salvaged, turn them into nutrient-rich compost instead of sending them to the landfill. It’s our pleasure to introduce you to the next colleague in our Humans of Solinatra series… Tantya Chandra Communications Officer Indonesia 🌎🌿💚 #Solinatra #MakesItAlright

🔍🤔 I've been reflecting a lot since our recent Corporate Cage-free Gathering in Bali, Indonesia! When I first started this work many years ago, the focus was on corporates first adopting the cage-free sourcing policies. The conversations typically centred around the "why" and the numerous challenges involved. 🏃🏾♀️ Fast forward, and it's really wonderful to see how the conversation has evolved from "why" to "how" – creating and implementing solutions. Last week, the enthusiasm from participants for fulfilling their cage-free commitments and impacting animals and farmers was palpable. Participants connected with local cage-free suppliers, paving the way to meet their commitments. ❤️ And some companies are even poised to achieve their goals ahead of schedule, by year-end! 👏 I'm more confident than ever that cage-free commitments can be realized, both in Indonesia and beyond. 😊 #CageFreeImpact #CorporateResponsibility #ResponsibleSourcing #CageFree #CageFreeIndonesia #CageFreeBali
