Introduction

The never-ended National Economic Reforms have factually necessitated professionalism in vital sectors of the Indonesian economy such as agroindustry. A more competitive agroindustrial business calls for professional management and application of modern technologies in areas such as specialized production, post harvest management, promotion of value added agro products, and supply chain management, so as to position these competitively both in the domestic as well as in international markets.

Trends in the national agroindustry business have substantial impacts on how food is produced and the benefits to farmers and workers from its production and processing. Agroindustrial business players, particularly producers and exporters, are now facing legal requirements to meet more stringent public food safety and quality standards, otherwise agroindustrial business will have the potential to exclude from domestic and international trade. Meanwhile, smaller scale producers have constraints in a fair business competition.

The trade structure of agroindustrial products at both domestic and global modern markets, have relatively changed, in order to attain required food safety and quality standards. The compliance of food safety and quality standards will surely attract the investors for investment in agroindustry, to confirm that agro products will go into domestic and global trades.

Infiad Indonesia was established to work hands in hands with Indonesian Goverment and all related agroindustry business players in the country to encounter current issues and seek the best solutions.
