Gorontalo DPMPTSP Resolves Licensing Issues for PT Agro Artha Surya

Headline.co.id, Gorontalo City ~ The Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Agency (DPMPTSP) of Gorontalo Province has successfully resolved the licensing issue of PT Agro Artha Surya (PT AAS), which had persisted since 2018. Agency Head Sri Wahyuni revealed that the resolution was achieved through dialogue involving the central government and the company.

Sri Wahyuni delivered the statement during the Investment Licensing Coordination and Dialogue Meeting held in hybrid format by the Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry/BKPM in Gorontalo on Friday, 24 July 2026. The dialogue was a follow-up to the Palm Oil Special Committee’s recommendation to provide legal certainty for the investment climate in Gorontalo Province.

Sri explained that, based on clarification with the Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry/BKPM, PT AAS already holds an integrated oil palm plantation business licence covering its processing mill operations under IUP Number 130 of 2013. However, the company must still update its Business Activity Number (NKB) in the OSS-RBA system so that a Company Standard Certificate can be issued and Investment Activity Reports (LKPM) can be submitted periodically.

Beyond the system update, PT AAS has also been asked to complete addenda to its basic permits, including environmental approval, the Building Approval (PBG), the Certificate of Occupancy (SLF), and Supporting Business Licences (PB UMKU). Fulfilment of these requirements must be coordinated with the relevant technical regional government agencies (OPD) to ensure the raw material supply and operations proceed in accordance with regulations.

“Through these steps, it is hoped that all of PT Agro Artha Surya’s licensing obligations can be promptly fulfilled, so that its business activities can run in accordance with the rules and provide legal certainty for investment in Gorontalo Province,” said Sri. (mcgorontaloprov/ppid)
