         <description><![CDATA[<div>Indomie debuted in Kenya in 2009 through the distribution business Salim Wazaran Kenya Company Limited (SAWAKE). The firm began operations in Kenya's Coastal area of Mombasa, where it became a pioneer in popularizing INDOMIE instant noodles. Sawake launched the main office in Nairobi in 2011 with the goal of boosting brand recognition and product across Kenya. Indomie was already well-known in many parts of the country at the time. In 2014, the industrial plant in Mombasa began commercial production, employing over 150 people and making Indomie production in Kenya more self-sufficient.<br><br>There was an issue with this investment; Indomie products were prohibited in Rwanda owing to health concerns. The Rwanda Food and Drug Authority has begun an inspection of this food brand while also ordering importers to cease distributing it in the country. This comes as the Kenya Bureau of Standards (Kebs) has yet to publish a comment about the safety of Indomie, which has not been recalled. Last month, Egyptian officials said that 733,340 cartons of various Indomie product varieties had been taken from the market owing to "proportions of aflatoxins and pesticide residues that exceed the acceptable levels authorized for human consumption."<br><br>Menurut saya melalu perspektif Mercantilism, hal ini baik untuk meningkatkan nation's wealth and power karena Indonesia sering mengekspor produk ini Kenya. PT Indofood CBP Sukses Makmur Tbk (ICBP) through its newly acquired subsidiary, Pinehill Company Ltd, is preparing plans for factory expansion and new export markets abroad. Meanwhile, the company's parent company, PT Indofood Sukses Makmur Tbk (INDF), continues its expansion with a capital expenditure (capex) budget of Rp 8 trillion in 2020.</div>]]></description>

They made the decision to add a new, more qualified partner in order to grow their startup and seek venture money. However, the corporation began to have issues with declining revenues in recent years. The arrival of new competitors into the PC industry, like as Windows 7, which began pressuring Apple harder, has made this issue worse. One of Apple Inc.'s most significant issues, and one that significantly contributes to the company's sporadic failures, is a marketing issue brought on by fierce industry competition.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>When it was discovered that the Kodaikanal thermometer plant had sold mercury-tainted trash to recyclers, it was forced to close its doors in 2001. These discoveries raise questions about how dangerous compounds are handled at the plant. Nearly 600 former employees filed a complaint against Unilever in 2006, claiming they should get compensation for health issues they believed were caused by high mercury exposure at the factory. After long negotiations, Unilever finally agreed to provide compensation costs to victims suspected of being exposed to mercury.<br><br>In my opinion, the appropriate theory to describe this situation is the theory of Marxism. Because what is happening in the world today is a class battle. Which is where the rich will have more power and act without thinking about the negative impact on others. </div>]]></description>

Even the biggest ice cream factory in the area is in Indonesia. Since November 2, 2017, 644 employees who helped make this ice cream have been on strike. PT. There are allegations that AFI frequently withheld diplomas and hired people without a Work Agreement (SPK). BPJS Employment and BPJS Health do not cover even half of the workforce. In my opinion this case is explained better in Marxist theory. According to Marx, class conflict has shaped world history. Therefore, as long as capitalism persists as a viable economic system, the bourgeoisie (capital owners) will continue to oppress the working class.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The expansion of UNIQLO's existence in Indonesia under the name of PT Fast Retailing Indonesia, which was founded on 16th October 2012 with a total of 40 stores. The form of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) of PT Fast Retailing Indonesia is <em>to outsource the production of almost all products to factories </em>by producing in Indonesian garment companies (partner factories) because Indonesia has more garments and opportunities than Japan. There are 17 Uniqlo factories, many of which are located on the island of Java and the relatively low payment of Indonesian workers is a consideration for this company. In addition, the Fast Retailing company invested by opening the first store in Jakarta which is one of the largest UNIQLO stores in Southeast Asia, because Indonesia is the main country in Southeast Asia with good market growth. Therefore, the problem that Fast Retailing Co., Ltd often encounters is the payment of labor wages. In this case, UNIQLO terminated its working relationship with PT. Jaba Garmindo because the cooperation did not run smoothly but UNIQLO did not pay the severance for tailors in Indonesia properly or in other words they had not paid the rights of former Indonesian workers, even though legally this Japanese company had no legal obligation to pay severance. However, UNIQLO was the main buyer of the Jaba Garmindo factory without giving the explanation to the workers which then made the partner factory bankrupt and made the workers lose their jobs.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>In this case, it can be seen from the perspective of <em>Marxism </em>that the one who has capital can exploit low-income people who work as laborers where the problem in this case is that the rights of the workers are not fulfilled in paying wages and do not think about the condition of losing their jobs.</div>]]></description>
