It also includes wholesale trade of seeds and seedlings of rice, secondary crops, and other cereals.
Sector oversight by Ministry of Trade; NIB is the only license needed and Emerhub files it for you.
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.
We confirm KBLI 46201 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.
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.
We file the OSS application with KBLI 46201 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.
KBLI 46201 is Low risk under OSS RBA, so the NIB alone is sufficient to begin commercial operation — no additional Standard Certificate or Operating License is required from OSS. We confirm all secondary registrations (BPJS, tax payment setup, sector-specific notifications) are in place.
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.
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.
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).
Documents and capabilities you must demonstrate at registration
No specific application requirements at this scale.
Compliance and reporting duties throughout operation
The authority that issues the license depends on your situation.
| Authority | Applies when |
|---|---|
| Regent/Mayor | Regency/City |
| Minister/Head of Agency | All |
| Minister/Head of Agency | Foreign Investment |
| Governor | Special Capital Region of Jakarta Province |
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 1 candidate permit across 1 regulator; most operations only need a handful. Emerhub maps your operation to the exact set, files them, and tracks renewals.
Ministry of Trade. Applies to wholesale and retail commerce, fuel stations, online marketplaces, and warehouses. Distributor / agent registration (STP) is the most common; importers, alcoholic-beverage sellers, and franchisors carry their own permits on top.

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.
KBLI 46201 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.
A plain-English explanation of this classification and the businesses it covers.
KBLI 46201 (Perdagangan Besar Padi Dan Palawija) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for wholesale trade of rice and cereals. It sits within under the subgroup (major group ) in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Statistics Indonesia (BPS).
Any Indonesian or foreign-owned entity that intends to operate in wholesale trade of rice and cereals 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.
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.
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.
KBLI 46201 retains the same code number and scope in the new taxonomy. The activity description, hierarchy, and intended use of the code are preserved.
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.

Yes — KBLI 46201 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).
KBLI 46201's risk levels per business scale: Micro Low, Small Low, Medium Low, Large Low. Foreign-owned entities (PT PMA) must register at the Large scale.
NIB only at Large scale. KBLI 46201 is classified as Low risk in OSS RBA, so the Business Identification Number covers OSS-side operational licensing on its own. One sector-specific PB UMKU permit also applies. See the requirements summary at the top of the page.
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.
PT PMA setup typically takes 4-8 weeks end-to-end: AHU registration, NIB via OSS, bank account opening. KBLI-specific licensing depends on the permit instrument required.
Not on the Tax Holiday or Tax Allowance priority lists. KBLI 46201 businesses pay the standard 22% PPh Badan; Super Tax Deduction (300% R&D / 200% vocational training) may still apply for qualifying expenses.
Authority depends on the investor profile. For PMA: Regent/Mayor. For domestic SME scale: typically Governor (for Provincial scope) or Regent/Mayor (Regency/City scope). Specific mapping is in §1 of this page.
Beyond the NIB, KBLI 46201 carries 1 PB UMKU permits across 1 sector regulator: Trade & Metrology (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.
