Bizteka - INDUSTRY & MARKETING PROSPECT OF SUGAR IN INDONESIA

The book BIZTEKA Industry & Commodity 038 (December 2018), prepared by PT. Citra Cendekia Indonesia, presents a comprehensive analysis of Indonesia’s industrial and commodity landscape, with a primary focus on the food and beverage sector and sugar industry. It begins with an opinion highlighting a key structural issue: despite the rapid growth of the food and beverage industry, Indonesia remains heavily dependent on imported supporting materials. The core section then explores the industry and marketing prospects of sugar in Indonesia, covering everything from plantation areas, ownership structures, and production performance to rendemen (yield efficiency) and manufacturing capacity. It also provides detailed insights into import–export dynamics, domestic supply development, and consumption patterns across households, industrial sectors, and especially the food and beverage industry, supported by policy analysis and regulatory frameworks that shape the national sugar ecosystem.

Beyond the sugar industry, the book expands into broader business and industrial analysis, particularly within the chemical sector, discussing trends such as rising calcium carbonate exports, domestic EPDM supply growth, environmental initiatives in pulp and paper, and efforts to reduce reliance on imported sulfuric acid. It also touches on strategic industry developments like corporate acquisitions and trade policy discussions. Additional sections provide valuable trade data (e.g., HS code-based export-import statistics) and a technical feasibility study on establishing a hydroxyapatite factory, including process design, raw material requirements, economic evaluation (ROI, BEP, POT), and safety considerations. Overall, the publication serves as a data-driven reference and strategic guide for investors, policymakers, and industry players seeking to understand Indonesia’s commodity markets and industrial development trajectory.
