The opening of the MITTE Bintaro culinary center in Ciputat, Tangerang Selatan, marks a new development in the local creative economy, emphasizing modern communal spaces and local employment, with approximately 90 percent of the workforce being local residents.

Simultaneously, the Tangerang City Government is promoting food diversification to reduce the region's heavy reliance on rice. With rice demand reaching 188,000 tons annually, the Tangerang Food Security Agency is encouraging the consumption of local carbohydrate alternatives like tubers and bananas. Officials aim to balance nutritional variety with economic growth by maximizing the potential of local agricultural products and food processing businesses.
