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 28210 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.

How we handle your KBLI 28210 setup

Emerhub is a corporate-services provider in Indonesia. We do the legal and regulatory legwork for foreign investors so you can focus on the business itself. Here's what the engagement looks like.

  1. 1

    Confirm the optimal structure for your business

    2–3 business days

    We confirm KBLI 28210 is the right primary code for your business, advise on secondary codes you may also need, and finalize the holding structure with you before any filing.

    What we need from you
    • Founders' passport copies and proof of residence
    • Intended share split and board composition
  2. 2

    Incorporate your PT PMA

    7–10 business days

    We draft the Articles of Association before a notary, register the entity with the Ministry of Law & Human Rights (Kemenkumham), and obtain the company's tax ID (NPWP). Under BKPM Reg. 5/2025, paid-up capital is IDR 2.5 billion (~USD 160K) — the cash actually deposited at incorporation. The IDR 10 billion+ figure many sources still cite is the total investment commitment per KBLI, realised over time via your LKPM reports.

    What we need from you
    • Powers of attorney (we prepare; you sign and notarize)
    • Director / commissioner appointment letters
    • Initial capital deposit confirmation
  3. 3

    We obtain your NIB

    1–2 business days

    We file the OSS application with KBLI 28210 as your primary business activity, complete the risk-based assessment, and collect the NIB (Business Identification Number) for you — typically within hours of submission. You don't need to touch the OSS portal.

    What we need from you
    • Office address (virtual office acceptable for many KBLIs; we can arrange one)
  4. 4

    Secure your Standard Certificate (Self-Declared)

    Per ministry schedule

    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. We prepare the application bundle, liaise with the competent ministry, and chase issuance through to the certificate. Statutory turnaround: set by ministry — real-world timing typically runs longer when site inspections or additional clarifications are requested.

    What we need from you
    • Technical documentation specific to your operation
    • Appointment of a Penanggung Jawab Teknis (PJT — technical responsible person)
  5. 5

    Hand-off to ongoing compliance

    Ongoing

    Post-launch we run your monthly tax filings, quarterly LKPM (Investment Activity Reports), annual general meeting (RUPS), and any sector-specific reporting. You get a single point of contact and a monthly compliance digest — no Indonesian-language paperwork on your desk.

§ 03

What is KBLI 28210?

A plain-English explanation of this classification and the businesses it covers.

KBLI 28210 (Industri Mesin Pertanian Dan Kehutanan) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for agricultural and forestry machinery industry. It sits within Manufacturing Industry under the subgroup The industry of Agricultural and Forestry Machinery Manufacturing. (major group 28) in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Statistics Indonesia (BPS).

This group includes businesses that manufacture machines for the preparation and processing of agricultural and forestry land, such as tractors and plows; planting, fertilizing, plant maintenance, and harvesting machines (for example, seeders, tillers, fertilizer spreaders, harvesters, sprayers, lawn mowers, and reapers); as well as machines for the initial processing of agricultural products (for example, threshers, peelers, hulling machines, and rice milling machines), trailers or semi-trailers for automatic loading and unloading for agriculture, cleaning and sorting machines for eggs, fruits, and plantation products, milking machines, poultry heating machines, beekeeping equipment, feed preparation equipment, and other machines for food crops, livestock, plantations, and forestry. This also includes machines for manufacturing components and equipment/implements for agricultural machines.

Who needs KBLI 28210?

Any Indonesian or foreign-owned entity that intends to operate in agricultural and forestry machinery industry as a primary or secondary business activity must select this code on its NIB (Business Identification Number). The selected code determines the licensing instruments required, the issuing authority, and the ongoing compliance obligations.

Why does the code matter?

Indonesia's OSS Risk-Based Approach uses the KBLI code to determine three things: (1) whether foreign investment is permitted and at what cap, (2) the risk-based licensing instruments required, and (3) the authority that issues each instrument. Choosing the wrong code can delay or invalidate your license.

§ 04

Under the upcoming KBLI 2025

Indonesia's BPS published the new KBLI 2025 taxonomy in early 2025. OSS, BKPM and the operating ministries have not yet adopted it — KBLI 2020 remains the active standard for business registration. This is what's coming for this specific code.

Carried forward into KBLI 2025

KBLI 28210 retains the same code number and scope in the new taxonomy. The activity description, hierarchy, and intended use of the code are preserved.

  • ·Continue using 28210 for current registrations under KBLI 2020.
  • ·When OSS adopts KBLI 2025 (timing not yet announced), no migration is required for this code.
  • ·Risk level, permits, and authority routing shown above remain in effect under both taxonomies.

When OSS adopts KBLI 2025, we'll migrate your existing entity to the appropriate successor code as part of ongoing compliance — no action needed on your end now.

§ 02

Risk level by business scale

Indonesia's OSS Risk-Based Approach assigns a separate risk level for each of the four business scales. The licensing instruments required (NIB, Standard Certificate, Operating License) are determined by the risk level. Foreign-owned entities (PT PMA) must register at the Large scale, so the rightmost column applies to most foreign investors.

01

Micro

Usaha Mikro
≤ IDR 2 B turnover

NIB alone is sufficient for commercial operation.

What does each risk level require to operate? ›
Low. NIB alone is sufficient for both preparation and commercial operation. Issued instantly via OSS.
Medium-Low. NIB enables preparation only. Commercial operation requires a self-declared Sertifikat Standar (Standard Certificate). Operating with NIB alone is not legally compliant.
Medium-High. NIB enables preparation only. Commercial operation requires a Sertifikat Standar verified by the competent ministry — typically with a site or document inspection.
High. NIB enables preparation only. Commercial operation requires a full Operating License (Izin) issued by the competent ministry after substantive review.
Beyond OSS, sector-specific permits commonly apply on top — e.g. SBU for construction, BPOM for food/cosmetics/medicines, OJK for financial services, IUP for mining, PSE for digital services. See the industry-specific guidance below for what applies to this KBLI.

Licensing requirements in detail

Specific permits, application requirements and ongoing obligations vary by business scale and the sub-activity within this KBLI. We file these on your behalf — this section is for transparency on what we'll be handling. Switch between scales below; by default we show Large (the PMA scale).
