Entering its 54th year, Petrokimia Gresik records positive performance
This achievement further cements the company’s operational performance, given that the 2026 fertiliser production target has been set at 106 per cent of the 2025 target.
Jakarta (ANTARA) - Petrokimia Gresik, an agro-industry solutions company and member of the Pupuk Indonesia holding group, enters its 54th year on 10 July 2026, continuing to demonstrate positive performance amid the dynamics of the national and global fertiliser industry.
President Director of Petrokimia Gresik, Daconi Khotob, said the positive performance is reflected in year-on-year production achievements, with 2025 realisation reaching 4,683,477 tonnes, up from 4,474,914 tonnes in 2024.
The positive trend continued into the first half of 2026. As of June 2026, fertiliser production reached 2,716,141 tonnes, higher than the 2,431,506 tonnes recorded in the same period of 2025.
“This achievement further cements the company’s operational performance, given that the 2026 fertiliser production target has been set at 106 per cent of the 2025 target,” he said in a statement in Jakarta on Sunday.
According to him, the positive performance and the company’s journey over more than five decades would not have been possible without its ability to continuously adapt to change and address various challenges.
He added that this ability serves as an important foundation for the company to continue supporting national food self-sufficiency while advancing Indonesia’s agricultural sector.
“Amid geopolitical dynamics, climate change, and fluctuations in energy and raw material prices that still overshadow the fertiliser industry, we continue to strengthen the company’s foundations so that we can grow sustainably, enhance competitiveness, and deliver broader benefits to Indonesian agriculture,” he said.
In line with the theme of Petrokimia Gresik’s 54th anniversary, “Growing the Future”, the company is implementing various strategic measures, starting with strengthening production facility flexibility and improving raw material infrastructure reliability.
It is also ensuring long-term energy availability and accelerating the transformation towards a more sustainable industry.
One such step is the modification of the Phosphate Plant I into the Phonska V Plant using Flex-Phos technology, which enables a single facility to produce NPK Phonska, NPK Solid Granulation, and phosphate fertilisers. This gives the company greater flexibility to meet market needs whilst supporting the resilience of the national fertiliser industry.
To strengthen raw material supply, the state-owned fertiliser company is also building two sulphuric acid tanks with a combined capacity of 40,000 tonnes. Once this project is completed, the company’s sulphuric acid storage capacity will increase to 100,000 tonnes.
In the logistics sector, the company is building Jetty A, designed to serve vessels of up to 60,000 Deadweight Tonnage (DWT), with a loading and unloading capacity of up to 4 million tonnes per year.
This infrastructure development is expected to improve the smooth flow of the company’s logistics whilst keeping the Berth Occupancy Ratio (BOR) at an optimal level.
The company’s operational reliability is also being strengthened through gas supply cooperation from the MDA-MBH Field in the Madura Strait and the Ketapang Working Area in the waters north of Madura Island, which has the potential to add around 30–35 Million Standard Cubic Feet per Day (MMSCFD) of gas supply, sufficient to support Petrokimia Gresik’s operations until 2035.
Daconi stated that strengthening the business foundation goes hand in hand with the company’s commitment to sustainability. In 2025, Petrokimia Gresik was designated by the Ministry of Industry of the Republic of Indonesia as a pilot project for the application of Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) technology, in line with the company’s 2025–2030 decarbonisation roadmap.
According to him, the company’s growth must always go hand in hand with sustainability and the ability to deliver greater benefits to society.
“Therefore, all the transformations we undertake are aimed not only at enhancing the company’s competitiveness, but also at strengthening our contribution to the agricultural sector, industry, society, and the nation,” he said.
