Initially, Mr. Busri was only a retail seller and only one type of banana was sold, now Mr. Busri’s business has grown very rapidly. Even today, Pak Busri’s business has been said to be a banana agent in his hometown, Samarinda. The success of an enterprise is none other than the support from good relationships with everyone. Without it, any business that is carried out will be difficult to develop. Good relations with the community, even with friends, are a major factor in the success of running this business.
For example, several large hospitals in Samarinda City have been explored by Pak Busri. As a result, Pak Busri’s bananas have become a regular subscription to several hospitals for the consumption of his patients.
Mr. Busri often encountered joys and sorrows while running this business. Starting from being lied to by buyers, to receiving rotten bananas from their orders. The rainy season is often an obstacle for Pak Busri, given the distance between the banana farmers and Pak Busri’s location, they have to pass through the forest. The road to the farmer’s place is not paved so it is impassable when it rains. His desire to own a truck was finally fulfilled. In 2014, Pak Busri received a loan from Bank Sampoerna. This opportunity was not wasted by Pak Busri, for the sake of the smooth running of his business. The truck is more useful when ordering bananas to the Kaliurang area when it rains. “Hopefully Bank Sampoerna will still be willing to help us, especially small entrepreneurs like me,” said Pak Busri closing the conversation.
