Forbes Indonesia Magazine - July 2019

In this issue

Forbes Indonesia’s Local Champions highlights and celebrates the success of entrepreneurs and business leaders who have built successful business from the rural and regions. In this edition we feature a young entrepreneur from Yogyakarta who runs a fast growing beauty and skincare business, the next generation of tea business from Solo who is now trying to educate and tap the market on premium tea, Sidoarjo-based seed producer Bisi International who controls the biggest market share in hybrid maize seed and exporting horticultural seed, Bali local football team who recently went public, and a Cornell University graduate who prefers to start a coco sugar export oriented business from Purwokerto. These entrepreneurs and companies should be a source of inspiration, as not only they help create employment and local economy to thrive, but also manage to create successful business in a more challenging manner.
