MSME players in the Bangka Belitung Islands Province successfully penetrated the international market by shipping one ton of getas, a regional fish-based snack, to Singapore in February 2026. The product, valued at IDR 278 million, passed a series of strict quarantine procedures to ensure food health, quality, and safety standards meet the requirements of the destination country. This successful export serves as tangible proof that traditional fish-based snacks from the "Serumpun Sebalai" land possess high competitiveness and are globally recognized for their quality. This achievement is expected to drive community-based economic growth and provide a positive boost for other local fish processing entrepreneurs to enter foreign markets.

For association members and MSME players, this export momentum underscores the importance of quality control and continuous education at every production stage to ensure local products are ready for global competition. The Bangka Belitung Quarantine Center is committed to providing professional guidance and simplifying export certification services to support the acceleration of regional flagship commodity downstreaming. Synergy between the government and business actors is the key to expanding global market access so that getas can become a new icon for Indonesian exports. With consistent food health and safety guarantees, Bangka Belitung MSMEs are optimistic about continuing to improve public welfare through sustainable market expansion to other countries.
