KBLI 10391 (Industri Tempe Kedelai) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for soybean tempe industry. It sits within the Manufacturing Industry category in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS).

Can foreign investors operate under KBLI 10391?

Limited — KBLI 10391 is allocated to cooperatives and Indonesian micro/small/medium enterprises (UMKM). Foreign investment via PT PMA is not permitted for the listed sub-activities.

What is the risk level of KBLI 10391?

KBLI 10391's risk levels per business scale: Micro Low, Small Low, Medium Low, Large Medium-Low. Foreign-owned entities (PT PMA) must register at the Large scale.

What licenses does KBLI 10391 require?

Not applicable to PT PMA — KBLI 10391 is not viable for foreign-owned entities (closed, SME-reserved, domestic-only, or no Large-scale licensing matrix in OSS RBA, depending on the case). Foreign investors should pick a related KBLI that is open at the Large scale.

What is the minimum capital for a PT PMA under KBLI 10391?

Not applicable to PT PMA — KBLI 10391 is not viable for foreign-owned entities, so neither BKPM Reg. 5/2025's paid-up minimum nor any sector-specific capital floor enters the picture. The structural barrier comes first.

How long does it take to register a business under KBLI 10391?

Not applicable to PT PMA — KBLI 10391 is not viable for foreign-owned entities, so the 4-8 week PT PMA setup timeline doesn't apply. Move to a sibling code with a Large-scale matrix or a different structure.

Is KBLI 10391 eligible for Indonesian tax incentives?

Not on the Tax Holiday or Tax Allowance priority lists. KBLI 10391 businesses pay the standard 22% PPh Badan; Super Tax Deduction (300% R&D / 200% vocational training) may still apply for qualifying expenses.

Which authority issues the KBLI 10391 license?

Not applicable to PT PMA — KBLI 10391 is not viable for foreign-owned entities, so OSS doesn't designate a PMA issuing authority. Smaller-scale registrations (Micro / Small) for Indonesian operators are typically issued at the Regency / City level.

What other permits beyond the NIB does KBLI 10391 need?

Beyond the NIB, KBLI 10391 carries 11 PB UMKU permits across 2 sector regulators: Pharmaceuticals (10), Health & Medical Devices (1). Most operations only need 2-4 of these — the relevant set depends on which specific activities you actually perform; Emerhub maps the right subset before filing.

What KBLI codes are similar to 10391?

KBLIs in the same subgroup 1039: 10392 (Soybean Tofu Industry); 10393 (Processing and Preservation Industry for Soybeans and Legumes Other Than Tofu and Tempe); 10399 (Other Processing and Preservation Industry for Fruits and Vegetables Excluding Legumes). These are closely related activities — see the related-codes section below for full list.

Food manufacturing-specific guidance

Sector context that applies to KBLI 10391 beyond the generic OSS process. Verify with the relevant ministry before committing capital.

Lead regulator

Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin) / BPOM

·BPOM Distribution Permit (NIE) required for any consumer-facing food product.
·Halal certification mandatory since October 2024 for most food products (BPJPH).
·GMP / HACCP audits required for production facilities.
·Some sub-sectors (sugar, salt) have additional licensing under Ministry of Trade.

§ 03

Halal certification

Indonesia requires BPJPH Halal certification for an expanding range of consumer-product categories. This KBLI's activities fall in scope — see what's required and when.

BPJPH certification required

Halal certification is mandatory for food & beverage products.

Enforceable since October 2024

Under UU 33/2014, every food and beverage product entering the Indonesian market must carry a BPJPH Halal certificate. The scope covers raw materials, processing aids, packaging in contact with the product, and the full supply chain. We coordinate the LPPOM-MUI audit and BPJPH filing — typically a 4-6 month process for first-time certification.

01
Audit & gap analysis
Review your formulation, supply chain, and facility against BPJPH criteria. Identify ingredients or processes that need swapping.
02
LPH inspection
An accredited Halal Inspection Body (LPPOM-MUI is the largest) audits the facility and reviews documentation.
03
BPJPH issuance
The Halal certificate is issued under the BPJPH register and the Halal label can be applied to packaging.

Halal certification is a core Emerhub service. We've handled BPJPH projects for foreign-brand food, cosmetics, and pharma operators across Indonesia — including supply-chain re-sourcing where needed. Bundle it with your PT PMA setup and we coordinate both timelines.

This activity is allocated to Indonesian SMEs and cooperatives.

PT PMA is not permitted for this KBLI. The activity is reserved for cooperatives and Indonesian micro/small/medium enterprises (UMKM). The pathway for foreign investors is to operate a different value-chain step (e.g. processing or distribution rather than the reserved primary activity), or to support local SMEs as an off-taker / brand owner / financier.

Pathways that work

Move to a different value-chain step
The cleanest path: operate a related but open KBLI. For example, foreign investors blocked from primary commodity production frequently succeed with the processing, distribution, branding, or export-trade codes upstream or downstream of the restricted activity.

Reference data: how this KBLI is regulated

The data below is the official OSS regulatory profile for this code. It applies to qualifying Indonesian operators (or to your operating partner). Foreign investors won't file these directly, but it's useful context when structuring a partnership or commercial arrangement.

Foreign investors:the licensing matrix below is for context only — direct PMA registration isn't possible for this code. See pathways above for what actually works.

What's required to operate

NIB

Preparation only — additional permit needed below

Standard Certificate (Self-declared)

Important: NIB is issued for the preparation stage. To begin commercial operations, the operator must self-declare compliance with applicable standards via OSS, which generates the Sertifikat Standar. Operating commercially with NIB alone is not legally compliant at this risk level.

Application requirements

Documents and capabilities you must demonstrate at registration

No specific application requirements at this scale.

Ongoing obligations

Compliance and reporting duties throughout operation

01Have proof of submission of mandatory validated Industrial Data every 6 (six) months in accordance with the laws and regulations in the industrial sector.
02Ensure the safety and security of equipment, processes, production results, storage, and transportation, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
03Have SOP documents and implement the provisions for product packaging, labeling, product information, and product storage based on the principles of Good Manufacturing Practices for Processed Food.
04Have SOP documents and implement employee hygiene and sanitation provisions based on the principles of Good Manufacturing Practices for Processed Food.

Issuing authority

§ 05

Auxiliary permits (PB UMKU)

PB UMKU permits sit on top of the main NIB and Sertifikat Standar — each is issued by a different ministry, and only when a specific operational activity is performed. This KBLI carries 11 candidate permits across 2 regulators; most operations only need a handful. Emerhub maps your operation to the exact set, files them, and tracks renewals.

Pharmaceuticals

10 permits

BPOM (National Agency of Drug & Food Control). Applies to drugs, processed food, traditional medicine, cosmetics, and health supplements — produced, imported, repackaged, or distributed for human consumption. BPOM is the gating regulator; product registration is required before any commercial sale.

Health & Medical Devices

1 permit

Ministry of Health (Kemenkes / BPOM). Applies to manufacturing, importing, distributing, or operating medical devices, hospitals, clinics, diagnostic services, and pharmacies. Most device permits are class-based (Class A/B/C/D); facility permits attach to the specific site.
