KBLI 20122: Single-Nutrient Synthetic Fertilizer Indu… · Open to PMA

§ 01

Foreign investment rules

Indonesia's BUPM (Investment Business Fields) regulation places this code into one of five tracks. The track determines whether a foreign investor (PMA) can operate in this activity at all, and under what conditions.

Status · open

Fully open to foreign investment

KBLI 20122 is not on Indonesia's closed, conditional, SME-reserved or partnership-required schedules. A foreign investor may incorporate a PT PMA with up to 100% foreign ownership and operate in this activity directly.

This KBLI is not listed in any restricted, closed, SME-reserved or partnership-required schedule under Pres. Reg. 10/2021 (as amended). A 100% foreign-owned PT PMA may operate in this activity, subject to the licensing requirements shown below. BKPM's default minimum capital is IDR 2.5 billion paid-up with IDR 10 billion+ total investment commitment per KBLI realised over time, but sector regulators (OJK, ESDM, BPOM, Kominfo, etc.) can set higher minimums for specific activities — we confirm the actual figure before incorporation.

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 4 candidate permits across 3 regulators; most operations only need a handful. Emerhub maps your operation to the exact set, files them, and tracks renewals.

Veterinary & Animal Medicine

2 permits

Ministry of Agriculture. Applies if you produce, import, distribute, or sell animal medicines, vaccines, or feed; if you breed livestock; or if you operate a veterinary practice. A "veterinary control number" (NKV) is the entry-point permit for animal-product processors.

Industry & Materials

1 permit

Ministry of Industry. Applies to specific manufacturing activities — basic chemicals, optical/magnetic media, regulated industrial materials — that need a Ministry of Industry compliance certificate beyond the standard NIB.

Common questions about KBLI 20122

What is KBLI 20122?

KBLI 20122 (Industri Pupuk Buatan Tunggal Hara Makro Primer) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for single-nutrient synthetic fertilizer industry - primary macro nutrients. 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 20122?

Yes — KBLI 20122 is fully open to foreign investment. A PT PMA may operate with up to 100% foreign ownership, subject to BKPM Reg. 5/2025 capital requirements (IDR 2.5 billion paid-up + IDR 10 billion+ commitment per KBLI).

What is the risk level of KBLI 20122?

KBLI 20122's risk levels per business scale: Micro Medium-High, Small Medium-High, Medium Medium-High, Large Medium-High. Foreign-owned entities (PT PMA) must register at the Large scale.

What licenses does KBLI 20122 require?

NIB + verified Standard Certificate (Sertifikat Standar Terverifikasi). KBLI 20122 is Medium-High risk at Large scale, so NIB is issued first, but the Standard Certificate becomes effective only after the issuing ministry verifies compliance (typically through a document review or site audit). 4 sector-specific PB UMKU permits also apply depending on the exact activity. See the requirements summary at the top of the page.

What is the minimum capital for a PT PMA under KBLI 20122?

BKPM Reg. 5/2025 default applies: IDR 2.5 billion paid-up capital at incorporation + IDR 10 billion+ total investment commitment per KBLI registered, realized over time and reported quarterly via LKPM.

How long does it take to register a business under KBLI 20122?

PT PMA setup typically takes 4-8 weeks: AHU registration (1-2 weeks), NIB issuance via OSS (immediate to 1 week), bank account opening (2-4 weeks). The licensing cycle for KBLI 20122 specifically takes 7 days at the Large business scale.

Is KBLI 20122 eligible for Indonesian tax incentives?

Not on the Tax Holiday or Tax Allowance priority lists. KBLI 20122 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 20122 license?

Authority depends on the investor profile. For PMA: Minister/Head of Agency. For domestic SME scale: typically Governor (for Provincial scope) or Regent/Mayor (Regency/City scope). Specific mapping is in §1 of this page.

What other permits beyond the NIB does KBLI 20122 need?

Beyond the NIB, KBLI 20122 carries 4 PB UMKU permits across 3 sector regulators: Veterinary & Animal Medicine (2), Industry & Materials (1), Nuclear & Radiation Safety (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 20122?

KBLIs in the same subgroup 2012: 20121 (Natural/Non-Synthetic Fertilizer Industry for Primary Macro Nutrients); 20123 (Compound Synthetic Fertilizer Industry - Primary Macro Nutrients); 20124 (Mixed Fertilizer Industry for Primary Macro Nutrients); 20125 (Secondary Macro Fertilizer Industry); 20126 (Micro Nutrient Fertilizer Industry).
