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.
Reserved for cooperatives & micro/small enterprises
KBLI 47241 is allocated to cooperatives and Indonesian micro, small and medium enterprises (UMKM) under the BUPM allocation list. Foreign investment via PT PMA is not permitted for the listed sub-activities below.

BKPM-reported foreign investment context for the broader sector this KBLI sits in. Data is aggregated at the major-sector level — BKPM does not publish per-5-digit-KBLI breakdowns publicly.
E-commerce (Tokopedia, Bukalapak, Shopee, Tiktok Shop) and modern-format retail (Ranch Market, Lotte Mart) drive most foreign-owned activity. Traditional and small-format retail remain reserved for Indonesian SMEs.

- ·Traditional retail and small-scale retail (kaki lima, los pasar) are reserved for SMEs.
- ·Retail of alcoholic beverages is highly restricted and monitored separately.
What this means for foreign investors
An honest read of the situation, plus the structures that work in practice. We've handled all of these — book a call to walk through your specific plan.
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.
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.
Special Economic Zone (KEK) or Free Trade Zone (Batam)
Several restricted codes have higher or full PMA caps inside designated KEK zones (Sanur Health, Lido, Mandalika) or the Batam Free Trade Zone — manufacturing, logistics, and IT services especially. The IUK regime under BP Batam relaxes ownership rules selectively in exchange for export orientation. We assess whether your operation can benefit. See the BP Batam IUK guide for the requirements.
SME partnership / off-take model
You can't hold the SME licence yourself, but you can build a contractual ecosystem with cooperatives or UMKM partners — supplying them with capital, IP, brand, distribution, or technology. We structure these arrangements so they stay defensible and commercially aligned.
These siblings are usable by a foreign-owned PT PMA — they have a Large-scale licensing matrix and aren't on a restricted list. Each has its own context badge so you can pick by trade-off.
What is KBLI 47241?
A plain-English explanation of this classification and the businesses it covers.
KBLI 47241 (Perdagangan Eceran Beras) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for retail trade in rice. It sits within Wholesale and Retail Trade; Repair and Maintenance of Cars and Motorcycles under the subgroup Retail Trade Specializing in Manufactured Food Products in Stores (major group 47) in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Statistics Indonesia (BPS).
Who needs KBLI 47241?
Any Indonesian or foreign-owned entity that intends to operate in retail trade in rice 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.
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 47241 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 47241 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.

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.
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.
