        "content": "<p>Jakarta, HAISAWIT \u2013 The Indonesian Investment Coordinating Board\n(BKPM) is encouraging the acceleration of investment in the downstream\nagribusiness sector based on palm oil in Kolaka Utara Regency during a\nstrategic investment forum held in Surabaya on Monday, May 11, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>This strategic move aims to strengthen the regional economy by\ntransforming raw commodities into high-value products to support the\nnational economic growth target of eight percent towards the grand\nvision of Indonesia Emas 2045.<\/p>\n<p>As reported by berita.kolutkab.go.id on Friday, May 15, 2026,\ninvestment in Kolaka Utara Regency from 2021 to 2026 reached IDR 1.58\ntrillion, with a significant contribution of 29.6 percent to the\nnational downstream sector in the first quarter of 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The central government, through the BKPM of the Republic of\nIndonesia, is now focusing capital flows on new and renewable energy and\nnational food security. Palm oil is one of the main commodities included\nin this priority scheme.<\/p>\n<p>The strategy for developing the processing industry in the region is\nto ensure that natural resources are no longer exported in raw form.\nDomestic processing can create widespread employment and increase the\ncompetitiveness of local products in the international market.<\/p>\n<p>The central government provides various facilities for investors\nthrough the implementation of the Job Creation Law. This includes\nsimplifying the risk-based business licensing system and providing more\nefficient integrated services for all prospective investors.<\/p>\n<p>Some important points regarding national investment developments and\nsupport for regions include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><p>National investment in 2025 reached IDR 1,931.2\ntrillion.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>This achievement exceeded the government\u2019s target by 101.3\npercent.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>The absorption of local labor from the total investment reached\nmore than 2.7 million people.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Kolaka Utara Regency is considered to have a strong geographical\nposition and abundant natural resources. In addition to the mining and\nfisheries sectors, the plantation land in this area has great potential\nfor developing palm oil processing plants.<\/p>\n<p>The latest investment data shows that capital realization in early\n2026 has reached IDR 498.8 trillion nationally. The downstream sector is\nthe main driver in maintaining the positive trend of economic growth\nthroughout the first quarter.<\/p>\n<p>To attract the interest of industry players, the government has\nprepared various attractive fiscal incentives. These facilities are\nprovided to companies that invest in priority national sectors,\nespecially in developing areas.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the fiscal incentives available to investors include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><p>Tax Holiday facilities, or exemption from corporate income\ntax.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Reduction of income tax for investment in certain fields, or Tax\nAllowance.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Exemption of import duties on imports of machinery and equipment\nfor production purposes.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Economic transformation through strengthening regional investment is\ncurrently the main agenda of the central government. Kolaka Utara has\ngreat potential to grow faster if it can optimize downstreaming in the\nagribusiness sub-sector, especially the palm oil derivative\nindustry.<\/p>\n<p>The Kolaka Utara Industry, Trade &amp; Investment Forum 2026 is a\nforum for meetings between the regional government, national investors,\nand international trade delegations. This activity aims to create\nconcrete cooperation in building local industrial processing\ninfrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Through ease of licensing and the provision of ready-to-offer\nprojects, investment climate stability is expected to be well\nmaintained. The development of downstream industries at the regency\nlevel will strengthen economic independence and reduce dependence on the\nexport of raw materials.<\/p>",
