Surabaya, May 5, 2026 — The Indonesian Feedmills Association (GPMT) held an Extraordinary Congress (KLB) on May 5, 2026, in Surabaya, East Java, following the resignation of its President, Desianto Budi Utomo, which was submitted on March 18, 2026, due to health reasons.

Through the KLB forum, conducted based on deliberation and consensus in accordance with the organization’s Articles of Association and Bylaws, Tevi Melviana was elected as the new President of GPMT. Previously, Tevi served as a Chairman within GPMT.

This leadership change is part of the organization’s continuity, while maintaining leadership stability. With Tevi’s appointment as President, one of the Chairman positions in the management structure is now held by Wesly Manullang, as GPMT adopts a collective collegial system.

President : Tevi Melviana
Chairman : Johan

GPMT emphasizes that the organization operates based on collective and collegial leadership principles, where every strategic decision is made through deliberation and becomes the shared responsibility of the entire board.

“The continuity of this leadership reflects the organization’s solidity as well as GPMT’s commitment to maintaining stability and the strategic direction of the national feed industry,” said GPMT Secretary General and Chair of the 2026 KLB Organizing Committee, Yetti Liza.
