Export Launch of Organic Coconut Sugar from Indonesia to Ghana by Swiss Buyer

On 21 April 2026, the MoMSME and SIPPO launch the export of two containers of organic coconut sugar and nectar syrup and natural nectar syrup to Ghana, imported by a Swiss buyer, from CV Manna Anugerah Sejahtera in Semarang. This ceremony was witnessed by the Head of State Secretariat of Economic Affairs (SECO). The export of the organic coconut sugar and nectar syrup and natural nectar syrup valued at roughly at 1 billion Rupiah.

This export launch is a result of a long collaborative work between SIPPO Indonesia and Business Support Organization – the Ministry of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise (MoMSME). The collaboration started in July 2025, where SIPPO supported MoMSME in conducting a company assessment for spices, cacao, and coconut product companies. Company assessment has always been a crucial part in SIPPO intervention as this will ensure that Swiss importers will have access to high qualified and curated suppliers, that matches the buyers’ requirement. During this mission, CV Manna Anugerah Sejahtera was selected with key strength points in the possession of EU Organic certification for the coconut sugar, which makes it the unique selling point of the company, aside from its organization and production capacity, marketing strategy, and sustainability program.

The efforts continue with a structured selling mission organized by MoMSME, supported by SIPPO, to meet with six buyers in Switzerland and four buyers in the Netherlands in October 2025. In this mission, CV Manna Anugerah Sejahtera received extensive feedback and strong interest from buyers, mainly for its organic coconut sugar and syrup. CV Manna Anugerah recognized as one of the most promising exporters, combining proven experience with high buyer interest. As a result, CV Manna Anugerah Sejahtera able to set a transaction deal with the Swiss buyer and to deliver the organic coconut sugar and syrup to their processing hub in Ghana.

This story draws a long journey and thorough effort of the BSO to carefully assess, select, and introduce the high qualified suppliers to the high qualified buyers, with support from SIPPO. “This export launch demonstrates that the Indonesian SMEs are capable of meeting global quality standards, and at the same time it shows a strong commitment from the government to support the SMEs in Indonesia”, mentioned by Harun AS, Assistant Deputy for Medium Enterprise Market Expansion, MoMSME.

Steven Santoso, the Director of CV Manna Anugera Sejahtera, said, “We appreciate the support from the Ministry and SIPPO to join the selling mission in Switzerland and the Netherland in 2025. It gives us opportunities to meet with potential buyers, and it gives significant value to improve our business.”

Head of SECO in Indonesia, Violette Ruppaner, conveyed her appreciation for the export launch and the collaboration among parties, and emphasized, “It is hoped that this result could be a blueprint of future collaboration, as it draws a triangular relationship from South-South trade relations, that will benefit the Swiss market”.

In overall, SIPPO highly appreciates the collaboration with the Ministry of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises as well as with CV Manna during all the missions. “We are very happy to see the results of the hard work, and we wish a great success for the export delivery, and hope for a continuous collaboration among SIPPO, MoMSME, and the SMEs in Indonesia”, said Andina Auria Dwiputri, Export Promotion Manager SIPPO Indonesia.
