Tempeh chips produced by Sarimas, a small business based in Tanjungpinang City in Indonesia’s Riau Islands Province, have entered the Singapore market. The development marks an important step for the local snack maker as it expands beyond domestic sales and reaches buyers overseas.
According to the report, the export push has already created monthly sales in Singapore. That suggests steady demand for the product and shows how a regional food business can gain traction in a neighboring market with a familiar interest in packaged snack products.
The move also highlights the wider potential for Indonesian micro, small, and medium enterprises to grow through cross-border trade. For businesses in the food sector, selling into Singapore can open new opportunities to build brand recognition and diversify revenue sources.
Sarimas’ progress reflects how traditional Indonesian products such as tempeh-based snacks can find a place in international markets when backed by consistent production and market access. For Tanjungpinang, it is also a sign that local businesses are increasingly able to turn homegrown products into export-ready goods.
