Bandar Lampung, 27 April 2026 – Students and female students of the Study Program Food Technology at Institut Teknologi Sumatera (ITERA) along with students from King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL), Thailand, conducted an educational visit to the Tempe Campus in Bandar Lampung on Monday, 27 April 2026.
This activity aims to broaden students’ understanding of traditional fermented food processing, specifically tempe as one of Indonesia’s leading products. In the visit, the participants had the opportunity to directly observe the tempe production process, starting from raw material selection to the fermentation stage.
Apart from the observation, students also followed an interactive learning session guided by Bapak Juli Nursandi, S.Pi., M.Si. In this session, he explained in depth the proper tempe production technique, food safety aspects, and the potential for developing tempe as an innovative product at national and international levels.
This activity is a means of exchanging knowledge and experience among students across countries, while strengthening academic cooperation in the field of Food Technology. It is hoped that through this visit, students can understand the important value of local food and develop innovation based on existing resources.
The visit to the Tempe Campus is also a concrete step in introducing the richness of traditional Indonesian food to the international world, and encourages young generations to continue innovating in the food field.
