PT Perkipunan Nusantara (PTPN) has achieved a significant milestone by exporting its first batch of oolong tea to India in collaboration with PT Suntory Garuda Beverage Company. This marks the beginning of a strategic partnership aimed at supplying high-quality beverage raw materials globally, with a focus on the Asian market. PTPN, one of Indonesia's largest agricultural companies, is leveraging Suntory's global expertise to ensure sustainable farming practices and adherence to stringent quality standards. Oolong tea, known for its unique and mild flavor, has been carefully chosen as the export commodity to meet market demand. This collaboration is expected to open new business opportunities and contribute to Indonesia's economy while showcasing the country's tea richness on the international stage.

Suntory, a renowned Japanese consumer packaged goods company, emphasizes the importance of using high-quality raw materials to meet global consumer preferences and healthy lifestyles. This partnership reflects their commitment to delivering top-notch products. The oolong tea export project, initiated in 2021, has undergone rigorous testing, evaluation, and audits, ensuring compliance with Indonesian National Standards (SNI) and meeting strict requirements for pesticide content and quality. Previously, PTPN Group's black tea products successfully expanded to numerous countries, demonstrating their ability to meet international food safety standards. This venture is expected to enhance the export of quality Indonesian tea products while contributing to the country's economic growth and highlighting Indonesia's tea heritage.
