Biki

What Biki does

Biki (legal entity PT. Berkah Inovasi Kreatif Indonesia) is an Indonesian foodtech startup founded in 2019 and headquartered in Bogor, West Java. The company develops eco-technology products and digital services aimed at reducing food loss and waste across the fresh-produce supply chain. Its portfolio spans four sub-brands: BIKI Research (biotech inputs including the chitosan-based Chitasil edible coating, KITO-B Bio Booster, and KITO-B POC organic fertilizer), BIKI Point (a professional post-harvest treatment service center in Lembang, West Java that applies Good Handling Practices and digital inventory systems), BIKI Trade (commodities trading to absorb coated produce), and BIKI Trace (digital traceability tracking product movement and shelf life). The Chitasil coating is the technical anchor — a nature-based, tasteless, odorless layer proven to extend shelf life of 20+ fruit and vegetable commodities by reducing oxygen transmission, water absorption, and ethylene production while adding antibacterial and antioxidant activity.

The company operates a hybrid go-to-market model: direct field sales and service contracts with packing houses and food producers for B2B services, complemented by consumer-facing Chitasil product sales through Tokopedia and Shopee marketplaces. Customers are primarily Indonesian SMB farmers and mid-market packing houses, with end-consumers reached indirectly via traceability-enabled produce. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, but the unit-pricing model on marketplace listings and professional-services billing on the B2B side indicate a mix of transactional and service revenue. Biki has a documented impact footprint — 100+ farmers in its ecosystem, operations across 5 Indonesian provinces, and cumulative figures of 2,500 tons of produce losses reduced and USD 1.7M+ in economic losses prevented. The team is small (10 members) led by CEO Muhammad Hafid Rosidin alongside COO Mutia Khonza, CMO Aris Hendrawan, and CFO Riza Zakariya. Capital base is thin, with one disclosed funding round (Ecoxyztem, 2021) and one financial-institution partnership since founding.

Core offering

Biki develops and applies biotechnology-based solutions for food cultivation and post-harvest preservation, including chitosan-based edible coatings (Chitasil), microbial boosters (KITO-B Bio Booster), and organic fertilizer (KITO-B POC). It delivers professional post-harvest treatment and digitalization services to packing houses via BIKI Point, runs a food commodity trading platform (BIKI Trade), and provides agricultural supply-chain traceability (BIKI Trace), with finished products also sold direct to consumers through Tokopedia and Shopee.

Product overview

Biki is a foodtech startup offering four integrated core products for end-to-end food loss and waste reduction: BIKI Research (biotechnology solutions for cultivation), BIKI Point (digitalized post-harvest professional services), BIKI Trade (commodities trading), and BIKI Trace (supply chain traceability). Under BIKI Research, the company offers KITO-B Bio Booster and KITO-B POC for agricultural cultivation, while BIKI Point features Chitasil Edible Coating—a chitosan-based solution that extends shelf life of fresh produce. The products work together to address food loss from production through consumption stages, integrating eco-technology with digitalization systems.

Direct peers

• Apeel Sciences: US-based developer of plant-derived edible coatings (Apeel) that slow water loss and oxidation in fresh produce. Direct analogue to Biki's Chitasil chitosan coating technology and the most established edible-coating peer.
• Hazel Technologies: US startup providing 1-MCP-based postharvest technology and shelf-life extension products for fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Closely matches Biki's Chitasil product line and target use case of shelf-life extension.
• RipeLocker: US startup that builds pressure-based postharvest containers and chambers to extend produce shelf life during storage and transport. Comparable technology-and-service play for high-value produce packers, like Biki's BIKI Point service centers.
• Verdant Technologies: Developer of 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) based postharvest treatments (e.g., HarvestHold) that extend shelf life of fruits and vegetables. Direct comparable to Chitasil's mode of action and customer use case.

Broad incumbents

• AgroFresh Solutions: Global postharvest specialist offering coatings, SmartFresh, FreshCloud digital platforms, and packhouse services. Overlaps Biki across coatings, post-harvest services, and digital inventory — but at far greater scale and across a wider portfolio.
• Indigo Ag: US-based agricultural biotech offering microbial seed treatments, biostimulants, and sustainability-linked grain marketing. Comparable to Biki on the biotech-cultivation side (analogous to KITO-B Bio Booster) and on the digital sustainability story.

Emerging players

• Pivot Bio: Developer of microbial nitrogen-fixing biofertilizers that replace synthetic fertilizer. Adjacent peer to KITO-B POC's biofertilizer positioning and to the broader scope of Biki's cultivation-stage eco-products.
• TE-FOOD: Blockchain-based farm-to-table food traceability provider operating across several emerging markets. Closest functional peer to BIKI Trace in the supply-chain traceability layer of Biki's stack.

Regional players

• TaniHub: Indonesian agritech platform connecting farmers to B2B and B2C buyers with integrated supply chain and traceability. Closest regional comparable to BIKI Trade and the supply-chain coordination function of BIKI Trace.
• Sayurbox: Indonesian online fresh produce and grocery delivery platform sourcing directly from farmers. Regional peer relevant to BIKI Trade and to the downstream portion of Biki's end-to-end food system thesis.
