JAYAPURA – Pemerintah Provinsi Papua mendorong kolaborasi dengan Kamar Dagang dan Industri (Kadin) untuk mengembangkan potensi ekonomi lokal dan memperluas peluang usaha masyarakat. Sinergi tersebut dibahas dalam Rapat Pimpinan Provinsi (Rapimprov) Kadin Papua yang berlangsung di Jayapura, Selasa, 27 Oktober 2026. JAYAPURA – The Papua Provincial Government is encouraging collaboration with the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry to develop local economic potential and expand business opportunities for communities. The partnership was discussed at the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Provincial Leadership Meeting, held in Jayapura on Tuesday, October 27, 2026.
Pelaksana Harian Sekretaris Daerah Papua, Suzana Wanggai, mengatakan Papua memiliki potensi ekonomi di sektor pertanian, perikanan, perkebunan, pariwisata, dan perdagangan. Pengembangan sektor tersebut perlu diarahkan untuk menghasilkan produk bernilai tambah dan memiliki daya saing.
“Penguatan ekonomi kerakyatan harus dimulai dari kemampuan kita mengembangkan potensi lokal menjadi produk yang bernilai tambah,” kata Suzana.
Menurutnya, pengembangan ekonomi daerah masih menghadapi sejumlah tantangan, termasuk akses permodalan, daya saing produk lokal, peluang usaha, dan konektivitas antardaerah. Karena itu, pemerintah mendorong kerja sama Kadin dengan pemerintah daerah, perbankan, perguruan tinggi, lembaga pendidikan, dan masyarakat.
Suzana mengatakan, program Kadin perlu diselaraskan dengan Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Menengah Daerah (RPJMD) serta visi gubernur dan wakil gubernur Papua. Pemerintah provinsi juga berkomitmen menciptakan iklim usaha yang kondusif, inklusif, dan berkelanjutan.
Ketua Umum Kadin Papua, Jackleana Joku, mengatakan Rapimprov menjadi forum untuk mengevaluasi program organisasi, menyelaraskan pandangan, dan menentukan prioritas kerja. Hasil pembahasan diharapkan menjadi pedoman bagi pelaksanaan program serta pengembangan ekonomi daerah.
“Kadin Papua memiliki tanggung jawab untuk mempertemukan kepentingan dunia usaha dengan peluang pembangunan. Untuk itu, kita perlu memperluas akses pasar dan pembiayaan, membangun kemitraan antara UMKM dan usaha besar,” ujar Jackleana.
Ia mengatakan, Kadin Papua juga ingin memperluas keterlibatan pengusaha lokal dalam peluang investasi dan rantai pasok daerah. Hasil Rapimprov akan dibawa ke Rapat Pimpinan Nasional (Rapimnas) untuk disampaikan kepada Presiden saat membuka kegiatan tersebut.
Rapimprov Kadin Papua mengangkat tema Penguatan Ekonomi Kerakyatan untuk Papua Cerah: UMKM Naik Kelas, Ekonomi Tumbuh Berkualitas. Forum ini diharapkan menghasilkan rekomendasi yang mendukung pengembangan usaha lokal dan pertumbuhan ekonomi Papua. ***
Papua’s Acting Regional Secretary, Suzana Wanggai, said Papua has economic potential in agriculture, fisheries, plantation crops, tourism, and trade. Efforts to develop these sectors should focus on creating competitive, value-added products.
“Strengthening the people-centered economy must begin with our ability to turn local potential into value-added products,” Suzana said.
According to Suzana, regional economic development still faces several challenges, including limited access to financing, the competitiveness of local products, limited business opportunities, and connectivity between regions. The government is therefore encouraging the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry to collaborate with local governments, banks, universities, other educational institutions, and communities.
Suzana said the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry ’s programs should align with the Regional Medium-Term Development Plan and the vision of Papua’s governor and deputy governor. The provincial government is also committed to creating a supportive, inclusive, and sustainable business environment.
Chairperson of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Jackleana Joku said the provincial leadership meeting serves as a forum to evaluate the organization’s programs, build a shared understanding, and set priorities. Its outcomes are expected to guide program implementation and support regional economic development.
“The Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Papua has a responsibility to connect the interests of the business community with development opportunities. To achieve this, we need to expand access to markets and financing and build partnerships between micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and large businesses,” Jackleana said.
She said the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Papua also aims to increase local entrepreneurs’ participation in investment opportunities and regional supply chains. The outcomes of the provincial meeting will be submitted to the National Leadership Meeting and presented to the President when he opens the event.
The Provincial Leadership Meeting adopted the theme “Strengthening the People-Centered Economy for a Bright Papua: Helping MSMEs Scale Up and Fostering Quality Economic Growth.” The forum is expected to produce recommendations that support local business development and Papua’s economic growth. ***
