NewzMinister of Agriculture Andi Amran Sulaiman has mandated that all sugar processing factories in Indonesia must own their own sugarcane plantations. This policy is intended to ensure a stable supply of raw materials and support the government's broader objective of achieving national sugar self-sufficiency.
The requirement serves as a strategic measure to reduce reliance on imported sugar and strengthen domestic production capabilities. By integrating sugar mills with dedicated plantations, the government aims to create a more sustainable and self-reliant sugar industry, ensuring that processing facilities have consistent access to locally grown sugarcane to meet national demand.
