Gold fields of tuna Abon

Starting from the penchant to eat fish in the family, Nurul Indah Khasanah (36) sparked a creative idea to open a business in the field of abon snacks. Abon is also not a fabric made of beef as long as it commonly known, but from processed tuna.

Business capital of USD 20 million earlier this year dilakoni Beautiful since 2007. Although still whole corn, but that given the development of the business trade name, Abon Khansa Food Tuna has menggurita. Within a month, Indah now markets about 600 pounds of tuna abon worth approximately USD 72 million.

"I was not expecting (the business) would be this big," said Indah as found in the home and place of business in Kayen, Condongcatur Village, District Depok, Sleman, DI Yogyakarta, Friday (14 / 8).

Beautiful family of the husband who comes from Palembang, South Sumatra, which "menjerumuskannya" in this business. Of them, Beautiful studying the processing of foods made from fish, including the traditional foods of Palembang, "sambal environment" or in Java known as abon.

From there, the business instinct Beautiful walk. He thought to sell the sambal neighborhood family favorite menu in the form of packaging. "At first I offered to relatives, neighbors, and friends. It's all good to say, "he said.

Beautiful decided to seriously pursue this tuna abon business and began marketing it as designing the packaging and take care of business licensing to local government of Sleman, Yogyakarta. However, success is not obtained easily.

Initially, Indah must wrestle with the rejection of traditional markets because price is highly valued products to the market of Yogyakarta, namely Rp 12,000-Rp 20,000 per 100 grams. "In addition, products of fish-based foods are also less familiar to the people of Yogyakarta," he said.

Beautiful and desperate time trying to market to supermarkets that have a consumer dinilainya upper middle class and have been quite familiar with the food products made from fish. "After six months of struggle, I can finally received the product market," said the mother of two children.

Currently, products are marketed Khansa Abon Tuna in 35 supermarkets in DIY. Beautiful also use an online marketing strategies via the internet site he made.

The result, abon tuna products are also reaching out DIY success through agents Khansa Food 23. Cities that have been supplied, such as Jakarta, Lampung, Bali, Malang, Padang, Kalimantan, even to Singapore.

From initially done manually, thanks to development efforts, the Beautiful now has four production machines abon tuna with production capacity ranges from 30-60 kg per day Working four workers.

Spices

Types of products made is also now developing into nuggets, meatballs, and brains, all of which are still based tuna. All product, Beautiful words, do not use MSG (monosodium glutamate) or food seasoning made from chemicals.

Indah said, he was using as a key sense abon is a blend of various spices diolahnya archipelago. "I can not mention anything because rempahnya spice trade secrets," said the woman who graduates this architecture.

Actually, various kinds of fish can be processed into abon, but Beautiful choosing meat tuna because of the thick and easy to obtain. Tuna also have a high nutrient content because it contains Omega 3 and Omega 6 are efficacious to reduce the risk of heart attacks and improving intelligence.

"If the fish fillet is too expensive, cork prickly fish, marlin fish hard to come by," he said. Processed tuna is not arbitrary because it must weigh a minimum of 50 kg. If the weight is less than that, the fiber would be easily destroyed when processed into abon.

Currently, the Beautiful is still a dream to expand the marketing network all over Indonesia and abroad. With its products, he also hopes to join the movement succeed the program is encouraged to eat fish government.

• Fasting aims to expel toxins from the body and dates have substance antitoxin. Thus fasting and at the same dates play a role in detoxification; membersikan body cells of toxins and heavy metals that accumulated to cause the body felt weak.

Why?
Since: Dates are the most ideal food is easily digested. Half an hour after eating dates, a tired body refreshed. Actually hunger arise not because an empty stomach, but because the levels of sugar in the blood decreases. When the dates entered into the body, high sugar levels quickly overcome deficiencies in the blood sugar levels are.

If at the time of breaking fast direct stomach filled with food and drinks, it took three hours or more so that digestion can absorb these sugars. As a result, the body still felt weak. But if breaking the fast with dates, date sugar content rapidly absorbed in the body to produce energy.

However, make no mistake, beyond any period of Ramdhan, was the sale of palm juice drinks also never quiet. For one thing, but good, the drink is known to have many benefits. For example treatment of dengue fever and facilitate breast milk (breast milk).

There are two types of palm juice in circulation. The first is the essence of pure palm-shaped thick like honey. Second, extract palm sugar is added as a preservative. Way of consumption just as consumption of honey or syrup. However, we should not consume too much because the stomach will be hot.

In fact, the production of Al Jazira today that has reached 15,000 bottles per day or an average of about 375,000 bottles per month has not been able to meet market demand.

Because, according to Achmad, the demand per day averaged about 40,000 bottles. Well, if the month of fasting, as now, demand could increase five-fold. "We reached overwhelmed, so that should boost production," he said.

These spikes in demand as well as experienced CV Sehat Lestari Prima producing branded drinks Sahara dates. Abu Mohammed, manager of CV Sehat Lestari Prima, said he receives requests from agents and distributors during the fasting month this could double the demand for regular days. "Demand also rose during the pilgrimage season, because people who would not normally bother buying souvenirs from here," he explained.

Today, the company's production capacity is around 50,000 bottles per month.

Material constraints

Both Sahara and Al Jazira made from raw materials imported dates from the Middle East. Standard purchase price according to Abu dates ranging from Rp 9500 to Rp 10,000 per kilogram. "The price depends on fluctuations in United States dollars (U.S.)," said Abu.

So if the U.S. dollar is high, CV Sehat Lestari Prima choose to reduce the purchase of raw materials dates. "It's become an obstacle for ur," he said.

Types of dates used by the CV Sehat Lestari Prima is a type of red Sayer. Because the texture of red dates and Sayer hard not contain much juice. In addition, this type of dates are also not easily rot.
