RADAR BOGOR - During a meeting with Minister of Agriculture Andi Amran Sulaiman, West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi stated that the meeting was a collaboration.

“This is part of the collaboration between the central government and regional governments to encourage agricultural growth, downstreaming, and economic growth,” said Dedi Mulyadi.

Additionally, the West Java Governor noted the availability of job opportunities.

“Approximately 23,000 skilled workers will be hired,” he said.

Dedi Mulyadi elaborated that there are investments in Subang Regency, namely VinFast and BYD.

“Earlier, it was mentioned that there is an LP2B area, but in fact, the rice fields no longer exist, yet the LP2B designation still appears on the spatial planning map,” he explained.

Therefore, the West Java Governor stated that he wants to make adjustments so that investments can proceed and agriculture can be replaced.

“I have received a strategic recommendation to replace it threefold. So, if there is an LP2B area called LP2B 200, then 600 hectares of new rice fields will be prepared,” he explained.

Dedi Mulyadi emphasized that his party will act quickly and that everything will be located in the West Java region, possibly in the Indramayu region because it is closer to Subang Regency," he stressed.

To a number of media crews, the Governor of West Java explained that he would prioritize opening new land in Indramayu.

“In Indramayu, there are many areas that have been planted with rice but have not yet been formed into rice fields, still relying on rainwater and the like,” he explained.

Dedi Mulyadi also revealed plans to restore the function of vacant PTPN areas.

"We will restore their function to agricultural use. Tea will return to tea, coffee to coffee. Rubber will return to rubber, but integrated with agricultural interests," the West Java Governor stated.

The Directorate of Textile, Leather, and Footwear Industry of the Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin) noted that throughout January-March 2025, it had issued Business Certificates (SKU) for four textile and apparel industries. The total investment reached IDR 304.43 billion, which is estimated to absorb 1,907 workers. The textile, apparel, and footwear industry continues to show positive performance, in line with its role as a priority sector in the 2025–2045 National Long-Term Development Plan (RPJPN). The government is committed to encouraging the growth of this industry in order to strengthen national competitiveness and create extensive employment opportunities. The latest data shows that in 2024, the growth of the textile, apparel, and leather and leather goods industries reached 0.09 percent, 5.78 percent, and 6.83 percent, respectively. This solid performance is also supported by a significant increase in investment, both from Foreign Investors (PMA) and Domestic Investors (PMDN). In 2023, total investment in this sector will reach IDR 29.92 trillion, while in 2024 it will increase sharply by 31.1 percent to IDR 39.21 trillion. "This increase in investment reflects investor confidence in the prospects of the textile, apparel, and footwear industry in Indonesia. Especially in the apparel industry, which is a labor-intensive industry, investment has increased drastically from IDR 4.53 trillion in 2023 to IDR 10.20 trillion in 2024, an increase of 124.9 percent," said Director of the Textile, Leather, and Footwear Industry, Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin) Rizky Aditya Wijaya in his statement, Monday (17/3). With Indonesia's large population, reaching 281.6 million people (BPS, 2024), the prospects for the textile and footwear industry remain promising. The average per capita expenditure of Indonesians for clothing, footwear, and headgear in the period March 2020–March 2024 reached IDR 35,457 per month. Thus, the potential domestic market is estimated to reach IDR 119.82 trillion. In addition, export opportunities are also increasingly wide open. The new tariff policy implemented by the United States against Canada, Mexico, and the People's Republic of China (PRC) is a strategic momentum for Indonesia to expand its market share in Uncle Sam's country. In 2024, total imports of apparel and footwear from the United States reached USD 138.19 billion, of which the PRC dominated with a value of USD 38.04 billion (29.2 percent). Meanwhile, Indonesia's exports to the United States in the same year reached USD 7.11 billion or around 5.5 percent of total US imports. "Indonesia recorded a growth in apparel and footwear exports to the United States of 7.5 percent from USD 6.61 billion in 2023 to USD 7.11 billion in 2024. With the change in tariff policy in the US, our export opportunities are getting bigger, and this is an opportunity for the national industry to increase competitiveness in the global market," he added. Seeing the great potential in both domestic and international markets, the Ministry of Industry continues to strive to strengthen the textile and footwear industry ecosystem through various strategic policies. Several steps that are being taken include increasing production efficiency, adopting environmentally friendly technology, and supporting the expansion of export markets. With full support from the government and the commitment of industry players, the textile, apparel, and footwear sector in Indonesia is ready to continue to grow, create jobs, and strengthen its position as a major player in the global industrial arena.

DPMPTSP West Java Urges Businesses to Submit LKPM Before April 15

The Investment and One-Stop Integrated Service Agency (DPMPTSP) of West Java Province has set an ambitious investment realization target of Rp80 trillion for the first quarter of 2026. To achieve this target, the regional government is urging business actors to promptly submit their Investment Activity Reports (LKPM) no later than April 15. Head of DPMPTSP West Java, Dedi Taufik, explained that the LKPM results for this period will serve as a crucial indicator to measure the region’s economic resilience. The data will show whether the current global geopolitical escalation significantly affects investor interest in West Java. “On April 15, we will finalize the LKPM results. This will also serve as an instrument to assess the investment outlook going forward whether the current global geopolitical situation affects investment interest in West Java,” said Dedi Taufik in Bandung on Wednesday (April 8, 2026). Based on preliminary data held by DPMPTSP as of the end of March 2026, investment realization in West Java has reached Rp50 trillion, or approximately 62.5% of the first-quarter target. The government remains optimistic that the remaining Rp30 trillion target can be achieved as reports from major companies are submitted within the remaining time. “Our target is Rp80 trillion in Q1 2026. Previously, only Rp50 trillion had been recorded. We hope that incoming reports until mid-April will cover the shortfall,” he added. Dedi Taufik also called on all industrial estate managers in West Java to ensure orderly reporting administration among their members. In addition, he encouraged regency/city governments not to focus solely on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), but also to start exploring the growing potential of Domestic Direct Investment (DDI). In accordance with instructions from the Ministry of Investment/BKPM of Indonesia, non-MSME business actors are required to submit LKPM through the OSS-RBA system. Failure to report business activities may result in strict administrative sanctions. Dedi emphasized that LKPM is not merely an administrative obligation, but also a protection instrument for businesses. Companies that consistently report will receive priority in guidance, facilitation for operational issues, and support in licensing processes. “Their reports serve as the basis for us to formulate targeted regional investment policies. So, there is a mutual benefit between the government and business actors,” he explained. For business actors experiencing technical difficulties in reporting, DPMPTSP West Java has provided assistance services through a call center, WhatsApp center, and official social media accounts. “Once again, we emphasize that LKPM is mandatory for all business actors to ensure transparency and sustainable economic growth in West Java,” Dedi concluded.
