Forbes Indonesia’s Local Champions highlights and celebrates the success of entrepreneurs and business leaders who have built successful business from the rural and regions. In this edition we feature a young entrepreneur from Yogyakarta who runs a fast growing beauty and skincare business, the next generation of tea business from Solo who is now trying to educate and tap the market on premium tea, Sidoarjo-based seed producer Bisi International who controls the biggest market share in hybrid maize seed and exporting horticultural seed, Bali local football team who recently went public, and a Cornell University graduate who prefers to start a coco sugar export oriented business from Purwokerto. These entrepreneurs and companies should be a source of inspiration, as not only they help create employment and local economy to thrive, but also manage to create successful business in a more challenging manner.
