Australia Introduces Premium Dairy Products to Indonesian Chefs

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Australia’s Victorian Agricultural Minister Jaala Pulford collaborated with Podomoro University’s culinary students, Indonesian vocational schools and Dairy Australia to showcase Victorian  premium dairy products during a cooking demo held at Podomoro University in Jakarta.

Victoria State’s Commissioner to Indonesia Brett Stevens said that Indonesian chefs are expected to acquire skills to creatively and innovatively process dairy products since demands on such products from domestic and foreign markets are increasing.

“Therefore, we are happy to support this event,” Stevens said in a press release received by Tempo on Tuesday, September 27, 2016.

The event was held as a part of Victoria State administration’s commitment to work with Indonesia’s education and hospitality sectors to develop both sides’ competitiveness and to transfer skills and knowledge.

Minister Pulford’s visit to Indonesia was aimed to strengthen trade cooperation and investment between the two countries, in addition to improve cooperation in major sectors, such as education and professional service.

Victora State is the largest Australian dairy producer well-known for its safe and high-quality products.

The cooperation is expected to improve the quality of Indonesian professionals in the culinary sector by introducing them to new culinary techniques.
