Rumah Tani Teams Up with Pos Indonesia on 500 Cold-Storage Warehouses and 2,000 Agri Pos Outlets
The agricultural startup and the state postal company are preparing a nationwide network of 500 warehouse points with cold storage and 2,000 Agri Pos retail outlets to shorten farm-to-market distribution chains.
Agricultural venture Rumah Tani, led by director Bahtiar, has partnered with state postal company Pos Indonesia to build 2,000 Agri Pos retail outlets and prepare 500 warehouse points equipped with cold storage, in a program presented as part of CNBC Indonesia's World Food Day coverage aired October 30. The network is intended to absorb harvests directly from farmers and route them to consumers, cutting out the long chain of middlemen that typically separates the two.
If executed as announced, the build-out would add a new national layer of rural-to-urban food logistics infrastructure, and networks of this scale conventionally require management systems from day one: inventory tracking, temperature monitoring for cold-storage points, warehouse management, and integration with the postal company's own systems. Numbers come from the program announcement rather than completed facilities, and neither a detailed implementation timeline nor procurement structures have been published yet, so execution scale remains to be validated against official Pos Indonesia communications.
