Jakarta

Having a thriving business is certainly the dream of many people, as desired by a woman from Manokwari, Papua, Wulaningsih. Since a dozen years ago, Wulan wanted to have her own business in making taro chips and crackers. This desire arose because since he was young he was used to helping his brother sell chips in Nabire.

The chips business can also be said to be a hereditary business in the Wulan family. Thanks to these two reasons, finally in 2009, Wulan ventured into opening a business to sell taro chips because she didn’t want to be unemployed after getting married.

“Instead of getting married, I would rather have a business, who knows the future will be good. Alhamdulillah, it turns out well,” said Wulan in a written statement, Saturday (22/5/2021).

Wulan said that when she started her business, she had difficulty with capital. Luckily, at that time he received a business capital loan from BRI amounting to Rp 5 million. The capital is then used to develop the business little by little.

Thanks to her persistence and persistence, Wulan was also successful in developing her taro chips business. In fact, now he is able to own three plots of land in his village. Wulan’s success can also be seen from the larger financing ceiling.

Currently, Wulan admits that she has received business capital assistance of up to Rp 200 million from BRI. The loan of this size was used by Wulan to buy raw materials, business equipment, and develop her chip business.

“When I started the business I received capital assistance from BRI. Initially I got a loan of Rp. 5 million, then I borrowed it again and now, Alhamdulillah, BRI has given me confidence, BRI provides loans for capital of up to Rp 200 million,” he said.

The rapid development of Wulan’s business can be seen from the wide distribution of her products. Currently, Wulan’s taro chips have been sold to big cities outside Papua such as Makassar, Surabaya, and Solo.

Each pack of taro chips is sold for Rp. 14 thousand. Usually, Wulan is able to produce up to 80 pieces of crackers per day, or to order.

“The price from me is Rp. 14 thousand, if from a shop that resells it, there is a retailer that costs Rp. 15 thousand, there is also a reseller who sells it for Rp. 18 thousand. (This business turnover) is around Rp. 15 million per month,” he said.

While doing taro chips business, Wulan admitted that she had never encountered any difficulties. He said that he only had to face problems several times in finding the raw material for taro if he received a large number of orders.

“When we went around looking for taro, I didn’t have a lot of orders and I was dizzy looking for the main raw material. There are lots of cassava, while taro is hard to pick up on the mountain. I usually buy it directly from the farmer, I buy it straight away and bring it home for production. , “he said.

To help him maintain the smooth running of his business, Wulan now employs 5 employees, each of whom are paid Rp 2.5 million per month. Wulan’s business workers are residents around where she lives.

Wulan explained that she has been able to successfully develop and sustain her business, even in the midst of a pandemic. This is because he often receives training and assistance from BRI.

Wulan, who has been a BRI customer since 2010, admitted that BRI’s training and coaching have helped her a lot to expand her business reach and provide solutions for marketing and other matters related to her business.

“I have been greatly helped by my business capital, so that I can spend and thanks to the business capital assistance from BRI I have bought land in 3 locations and are planning to open boarding houses,” he explained.

“My turnover has increased, it can be helped, I at BRI is grateful and thanks the people who are kind to me,” added Wulan.

In the future, Wulan hopes that the capital loan and assistance from BRI can be provided in a larger amount. He also targets to get a KUR with a ceiling of Rp. 500 million, in order to make it easier to realize the desire to open a boarding house business in Nabire.

Finally, Wulan advised MSME actors, especially women, not to give up their business. According to him, women can also be successful in running a business. “Never giving up is the key to success,” he said.
