MEKAR Builds Ecosystem to Strengthen Social and Environmental Impact through Agriculture and Energy

Jakarta, March 5, 2026 – PT Mekar Investama Teknologi (MEKAR) continues to strengthen its commitment as an impact financing platform through the development of the MEKAR Ecosystem, an integrated ecosystem connecting financing, agriculture, and sustainable energy to create broader social and environmental impact.

MEKAR has long been recognized as a fintech lending platform focused on empowering productive sectors, particularly MSMEs and women micro-entrepreneurs across Indonesia. Through the MEKAR Ecosystem, the company expands its role by developing initiatives that not only provide financial access but are also directly linked to real-sector activities.

On the social impact side, MEKAR develops the agricultural sector through its Multi-Micro Agriculture Financing (MMAF) model, which integrates financing with agricultural operations. This model is implemented through two operational entities: Paten Mekar Tani in Padang Pariaman, West Sumatra, and Mekar Asta Nusantara in Jember and other areas in East Java.

Through these entities, MEKAR carries out integrated agricultural operations, ranging from land management and farmer partnerships to strengthening agricultural supply chains. This approach allows financing to be directly connected to real-sector production activities, generating more sustainable economic impact for farmers and local communities.

Beyond agriculture, MEKAR also contributes to environmental sustainability through the development of biomass-based energy via Global Excel Trading (GREXEL). The company is currently developing a wood pellet export business, utilizing wood waste as an alternative energy source, supporting circular economy practices and clean energy transition.

Unlike conventional practices that rely on forest exploitation, the raw materials used for wood pellets are sourced from waste such as unused wood residues and agricultural by-products like corn cobs, adding value to industrial waste while promoting environmentally friendly energy use.

MEKAR’s CEO, Pandu Aditya Kristy, stated that the MEKAR Ecosystem represents a strategic step to expand the company’s impact.

“Since its inception, MEKAR has been built as an impact financing platform that goes beyond financial access. Through the MEKAR Ecosystem, we aim to strengthen social impact through MSME and agricultural empowerment, while also contributing to environmental sustainability through biomass energy,” he said.

By integrating financing, real-sector production, and sustainable energy within one ecosystem, MEKAR aims to promote inclusive economic growth and support Indonesia’s sustainable development agenda.

Moving forward, MEKAR will continue expanding its ecosystem across strategic regions through productive financing, agricultural development, and sustainable energy initiatives, reinforcing its role as an impact-driven platform in Indonesia.
