The Indonesian government is launching a major initiative to achieve national fertilizer self-sufficiency, spearheaded by the construction of seven new, modern fertilizer plants over the next five years, with five targeted for completion by 2029. Agriculture Minister Andi Amran Sulaiman announced the project's development budget is approximately IDR 50 trillion (USD 3 billion). A key feature of these new facilities will be their energy efficiency, which is projected to cut operational gas expenses to only 22–23 percent, a significant reduction from the 43 percent spent by older factories, thereby lowering production costs.
Agriculture Ministry reforms to subsidized fertilizer management have funded ambitious development, yielding IDR 10 trillion (USD 601 million) in savings and a 26% reduction in production costs. These changes are projected to boost PT Pupuk Indonesia's profit to IDR 2.5 trillion (USD 150.3 million) by 2026. Furthermore, new plants will increase subsidized fertilizer production by 700,000 tons by 2029, reflecting the government's commitment to ensuring an adequate and affordable supply for farmers and national food security.
Driven by the growth of Indonesia’s fertilizer industry, the INAGRICHEM 2025 exhibition was a major success. The event was officially opened by high-level dignitaries, including Vice Minister of Agriculture, H. Sudaryono. The three-day exhibition hosted 366 exhibitors from 20 countries and attracted over 34,000 trade visitors from the agriculture industry, who gathered to discover the latest market trends and solutions.
