Bacile Becomes New Investment Hotspot in Sukabumi

Dec, 10 2025

SUKABUMI – Three districts in Sukabumi City—Baros, Cibeureum, and Lembursitu, collectively known as Bacile—are now attracting investors as a new magnet. The availability of vast land areas makes this region a potential economic growth center amid a rising investment trend.

Data from the Investment and One-Stop Integrated Service Office (DPMPTSP) shows that as of August 2025, investment inflows into Sukabumi City reached IDR 918.9 billion. This figure reflects an increasingly conducive and attractive business climate for entrepreneurs.

Teten Agus Sugihan, Head of Investment Division at DPMPTSP Sukabumi City, cited Bacile as a strategic area due to its ample development space. “Investment tends to move towards areas with available large land. Bacile is among the most promising,” he said on Wednesday (September 10).

Although open to investment, the Sukabumi City Government limits the types of industries allowed. Only non-polluting industries and small to medium scale processing industries are permitted. “We do not open opportunities for industries that have the potential to pollute the environment. The investment profile in Sukabumi is still dominated by the service, trade, and property sectors,” Teten emphasized.

In terms of employment, the investment growth also has a significant impact. A total of 21,133 people have been absorbed by 8,358 companies, consisting of 7,066 micro businesses, 1,199 small businesses, 52 medium businesses, and 41 large companies.

To attract more investors, DPMPTSP continues to promote regional potential and improve service quality. The use of the nationally integrated Online Single Submission (OSS) application is one of the main strategies.

“With OSS, the licensing process is faster and more transparent. Investors feel supported, and we want to continue maintaining that trust,” he concluded.

West Java Provincial Government is implementing a persuasive strategy, because investment is not yet in line with labor absorption

INILAHKORAN, Bandung - The West Java Provincial Government is now implementing a persuasive strategy because large investments are not yet in line with labor absorption. West Java Regional Secretary Herman Suryatman said that the realization of investment in West Java, which reached IDR 210.6 trillion in 2023, in fact did not have a significant impact on labor absorption. This is because the majority of investment entering West Java is for capital-intensive industries that do not require a lot of labor absorption. It is not surprising that from data from the West Java Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the number of unemployed in February 2024 is still quite high, namely 1.79 million people. There is only a decrease of 217 thousand people compared to February 2023 or around two million unemployed in West Java. "This should be balanced. The fact is that it is not as easy as imagined. Maybe the absorption capacity of the workforce is limited," said Regional Secretary Herman at Gedung Sate, Bandung City recently. Therefore, this capital-intensive industry must be overcome by creating skilled human resources (HR). What industrial needs are, must be able to be prepared by institutions that produce workers, so that they can be absorbed. "For example, for an electric car factory. I think that is very specific and requires workers who have skills," he said. Apart from that, persuasive efforts must also be made to prevent mass layoffs. The government must compromise, find solutions so that the industry will survive. "Even though we also understand, currently it is not as easy as imagined, the situation is difficult," he said. Not only that, creating a safe and comfortable ecosystem for investors is also mandatory. One of them is by making it easier to obtain business permits. "It is ensured that licensing must be as easy as possible. Faster, cheaper, easier, better and safer so that the investment ecosystem is built," said Regional Secretary Herman. Then the West Java Provincial Government, continued Regional Secretary Herman, also encouraged MSMEs. One of them is by providing capital flexibility, both through banks and BUMDs so that they can develop their businesses. "We subsidize interest. We can't get caught up in loan sharks, emok banks. We have cooperatives, BUMDes, I think many of them include BJB. We are continuing to push so that districts/cities also work together with us," he added. So he said, if layoffs must occur. At least there is an option for people, by starting entrepreneurship. The hope is that social inequality and unemployment can be reduced. "Work is not the only solution. Entrepreneurship is no less important. Everything must be worked on, the important thing is that unemployment, poverty and the Gini index fall," he stressed. (SOURCE)

Disnakertrans Must Open Discussion Space Furthermore, Bey also encouraged the West Java Manpower and Transmigration Office to open up space for discussions with mass organizations to minimize the occurrence of these thuggery acts. Industrial players can also report if they receive threats and so on. "We ask the Manpower and Transmigration Office to talk to mass organizations and also what kind of industry. The point is not to disrupt investment," he said. 3. Investment in West Java Must Be Maintained Bey added that West Java's investment in 2024 reached IDR 251.1 trillion. This figure has exceeded several other provinces, so he asked that this thuggery not interfere with future investment achievements. "We are the highest, meaning that investors still believe in West Java, don't let (investors) leave West Java because of things like that," said Bey. (SOURCE)
