Suhita Lebah Indonesia, a business entity based in Bandar Lampung City, is currently in the spotlight thanks to its integrated business model connecting forest areas directly to consumers. Beyond selling products, the company is building an ecosystem that places supply sustainability and community empowerment as the main pillars of their operations.
This business strategy is carried out through close collaboration with beekeepers and apiculture researchers. By involving local communities around forest areas through cultivation training, Suhita Lebah Indonesia ensures that every drop of honey produced—ranging from Trigona, Rain Forest, to Melifera varieties—has a real economic impact on grassroots communities.
Owner of Suhita Lebah Indonesia, Isnina, revealed that upstream-to-downstream integration is key to maintaining product quality consistency. The company holds various food safety standard certifications, ranging from NKV, distribution permits, Halal certification, to HACCP and TKDN. Technological innovation is also applied in the post-harvest process, namely a moisture reduction method without high temperatures to preserve honey nutrients in accordance with SNI standards while being more energy-efficient.
The rapid development experienced by this company is also inseparable from the support of the Rumah BUMN BRI Bakauheni ecosystem since 2021. Through mentoring programs such as BRIncubator and BRILiaNpreneur, Suhita Lebah Indonesia gained broader business development access, including financing facilities and transaction digitalization using BRI QRIS, which further facilitates their business operations.
Corporate Secretary of BRI, Dhanny, appreciated Suhita Lebah Indonesia's perseverance in developing local potential. According to him, the success of this MSME is clear proof that the synergy between a high willingness to learn and the right mentoring support can propel local products into broader markets and provide sustainable economic benefits for the surrounding environment.
