00:00The Ministry of Industry assesses the implementation of syrups in sweetened beverages in packaging
00:09has the potential to cause an increase in price for consumers.
00:12The Ministry of Industry recommends that the policy should be based on the National Indonesian Standards or SNI
00:18in order to provide certainty for business actors.
00:24The Ministry of Industry admits that industry actors have concerns
00:28about the implementation of syrups in sweetened beverages in the future.
00:33According to the General Industry Agro Putu Juliardika,
00:37business actors are concerned if the policy will change the composition of existing products
00:43so it has the potential to cause an increase in price for consumers.
00:47Therefore, the Ministry of Industry has not been able to predict
00:50how much the price of products will increase due to the implementation of syrups.
00:54At this moment, the government is still preparing the regulations of the existing PPP.
00:59Putu Juliardika hopes that the regulations of the Ministry and related parties
01:03will use the SNI more than syrups.
01:08It is an open alternative to use syrups.
01:15We, from the Ministry of Industry,
01:19want to use the SNI more than syrups.
01:26Why do we want to use the SNI more than syrups?
01:31Because we don't have the space to use syrups more than the existing standards.
01:42But if it is agreed that it can be used more than the existing standards,
01:47but we have to pay for the syrups, that's another story.
01:50So far, the government has not decided technically
01:53how much syrups are recommended for sweetened beverages in packaging.
01:57However, the macro policy has been included in the Government Regulation No. 28 of 2024
02:04on health, determining the limits used by sweeteners, sugar, salt, etc.
