Jababeka opens for small enterprises

JAKARTA: The Jababeka industrial zone has allocated 15
hectares to accommodate about 1,000 small and medium-sized
enterprises (SMEs).

PT Kawasan Industri Jababeka director, Darmono, said that they
were expecting at least 100 SMEs this year.

Jababeka, which stands for Jakarta, Bogor, Bekasi and
Karawang, is an industrial zone especially geared for factories
with lease prices at between Rp 500 million and Rp 2 billion per
month.

"Businesspeople can also buy a plot of land inside the
industrial zone, but the price depends on the location," Darmono
was quoted as saying by Tempointeraktif.com.

There are 100 industrial zones nationwide and over 42 million
SME.

Darmono said that the ideal ratio would be for every large
factory, there should be three medium-sized ones and 10 small.

"A small food-production facility can help in providing food
for workers at big companies or factories," he cogently
suggested. -- JP
