On Thursday, September 17, 2026, three personnel from the DIY Industry and Trade Office (Disperindag DIY) paid a visit to APIKRI. The delegation was warmly received by APIKRI's board members (*pengurus*), supervisory board (*pengawas*), and operational staff (*pelaksana*), fostering an open and collaborative dialogue between regional government authorities and local cooperative exporters.

The primary objective of the visit was to build stronger institutional relations and confirm export activities, specifically focusing on the processing of Certificate of Origin (*Surat Keterangan Asal / SKA*) documents, which serve as a mandatory prerequisite for international shipping. During the meeting, officials verified compliance and streamlined understanding around export documentation requirements for regional producers.

Looking ahead, Disperindag DIY expressed strong expectations for APIKRI to intensify its collaboration with the office. Both parties anticipate that tighter synergy will facilitate smoother export administrative processes and empower more Yogyakarta-based sustainable craft products to reach global markets efficiently.
