Edamame

In 2012, following ANJ’s decision to streamline its core activities to focus on agribusiness (oil palm, food (sago), and renewable energy), the management decided to gradually exit the tobacco business and concentrate on higher-value agricultural products.

ANJ has operated in the vegetable sector since 2015, when our subsidiary, GMIT, began cultivating edamame, a high-protein, antioxidant-rich legume belonging to the soybean family. We use a cooperation model, providing agronomic inputs, training and field support to local farmers in Jember, East Java to maintain and improve quality and yield. In 2020 we began field trials for okra, another high-value vegetable, and in 2023 we also began field trials for green beans, which we sold to domestic market.

In 2017, ANJ entered into a joint venture with AJI HK Limited to facilitate GMIT’s market expansion into the Asia Pacific region. In August 2021, GMIT commenced commercial operations of its frozen products. By end of 2023, GMIT has sold its frozen products to domestic market and export to Japan, Southeast Asia countries, India and Middle East.

GMIT also produces frozen edamame (under the brand ‘Edashi’) and frozen peeled edamame for the domestic market. Edashi is available in two variants, original and salted, and can be purchased at various retailers throughout Indonesia.
