KBLI 10722 (Industri Gula Merah) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for brown sugar 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 10722?

Limited — KBLI 10722 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 10722?

KBLI 10722's risk levels per business scale: Micro Low, Small Low, Medium Low, Large High. Foreign-owned entities (PT PMA) must register at the Large scale.

What licenses does KBLI 10722 require?

Not applicable to PT PMA — KBLI 10722 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 10722?

Not applicable to PT PMA — KBLI 10722 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 10722?

Not applicable to PT PMA — KBLI 10722 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 10722 eligible for Indonesian tax incentives?

Not on the Tax Holiday or Tax Allowance priority lists. KBLI 10722 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 10722 license?

Not applicable to PT PMA — KBLI 10722 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 10722 need?

Beyond the NIB, KBLI 10722 carries 12 PB UMKU permits across 2 sector regulators: Pharmaceuticals (11), Energy & Mineral Resources (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 10722?

KBLIs in the same subgroup 1072: 10721 (Granulated Sugar Industry); 10723 (Syrup Industry); 10729 (Other Sugar Processing Industry (Excluding Syrup)). These are closely related activities — see the related-codes section below for full list.

Food manufacturing-specific guidance

Sector context that applies to KBLI 10722 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.

What this means for foreign investors

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

Operating License (Izin)

Important: NIB is issued for the preparation stage. Commercial operation requires a full Operating License (Izin) issued by the competent ministry after a substantive review of the operator's capability, facility, and compliance. Operating with NIB alone exposes the entity to penalties, blacklisting, and contract invalidation.

§ 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 12 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

11 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.

Energy & Mineral Resources

1 permit

Ministry of Energy & Mineral Resources (ESDM). Applies to mining, oil & gas extraction, power generation, fuel distribution, and gas pipeline infrastructure. Most permits attach to a specific site or lifecycle phase (exploration, production, decommissioning) rather than the company as a whole.
