Food company Bella Bulgaria and Indonesian firm Garuda Mitra Utama (GMU) signed a cooperation agreement during the Indonesia-Europe Business Forum in Jakarta. The Bulgarian-Indonesian investment is worth USD 72 million in total. USD 34 million will be destined to raw material supply over a four-year period, and the remaining USD 38 million is designed for the formation of a joint venture for meat processing in Indonesia.
Bella Bulgaria operates Europe’s first and only facility dedicated to producing the Indonesian delicacy rendang-padang. Under the initiative Indonesia: Spice Up the World, the firm is a strategic partner of the Indonesian Embassy in Bulgaria. The collaboration between Bella Bulgaria and GMU is a continuation of the creation of a rendang-padang factory in Bulgaria and an illustration of the Bulgarian meat processing industry’s strong competitiveness on a worldwide scale.
The Bulgarian-Indonesian investment initiative is being carried out as part of the ‘Rendang Enters Europe’ program, which is part of Indonesia: Spice Up the World brand. The project is expected to contribute to Indonesia’s economic growth by creating new job opportunities and expanding the supply of Indonesian products to global markets.
