This program will involve the young generation from rural areas and small islands as a vital
part of our supply chain. We will equip them with training, access to technology, and export
business opportunities so they can become key players in driving economic growth in their
own regions.
We will establish community-based cooperatives in key commodity-producing regions.
These cooperatives will serve as centers for production management, grading, and
distribution—ensuring that farmers and fishermen have stronger bargaining power and direct
access to global markets.
We have already established strategic partnerships with farmers, fishermen, and producers
across various regions. Through these partnerships, we ensure a steady supply of
high-quality, sustainably sourced products with internationally recognized certifications.
“These programs were born not just from a business vision, but from my personal journey.
I am a child of the islands, raised between the sea and the land, where access to the global
market was nothing more than a distant story. I am the son of a farmer and fisherman, and
my mother was a small fish vendor in the local market.
Since childhood, I’ve witnessed how agricultural and marine products—and the hard work
behind them—were often undervalued, simply because they came from remote areas. A
long supply chain meant that profits stopped midway, while the people at the grassroots level
continued to live modestly.
From that experience, I committed to building Artamara—a bridge connecting villages and
small islands to the global market, with fair pricing, high standards, and a story worth telling.
Artamara is not just about export; it is a mission to bring the voice and the work of island
communities onto the global stage, while ensuring that success flows back to the very roots
where it all began.”
