Head of the Central Sulawesi Office of the Law Ministry Rakhmat Renaldy stated in Palu on Friday that this designation is a crucial measure by the state to preserve the local heritage. He highlighted that the local delight belongs to the community, not just to individuals.
"Now, biromaru grilled chicken is not just the families' top choice for parties but also a legally (recognized) identity of Sigi District in terms of national intellectual property," Renaldy stated.
He expressed hope that this recognition would also serve as a strategic measure to boost the local economy, now that its intellectual property is protected.
Renaldy emphasized that pride in local assets must be matched by efforts to protect them. Hence, his administration is committed to ensuring that both the government and communities work together to maximize the potential of local assets, whether in culinary delicacies, culture, or arts and crafts.
He stressed that the ministry will consistently support the Central Sulawesi government's efforts in identifying and registering these cultural assets.
