Sleman vendors receive surge in orders after withdrawing from Rans Carnival

Small business owners in Sleman, Indonesia, have experienced a significant increase in orders following their decision to withdraw from the Rans Carnival event.

Abdi Kamil, owner of the coconut drink business Kalapaa.id, faced financial uncertainty after preparing supplies and paying registration fees, only to be unable to participate due to curation rules. However, after sharing his situation on social media, he received a wave of support from the public.

Similarly, Rakha Abyan Saputra, a local orange juice vendor in Maguwoharjo, had prepared 200 kilograms of fresh oranges for the event. Following the decision to pull out amidst the carnival's controversy, community solidarity resulted in orders for 700 glasses of orange juice to be distributed for free.
