Indramayu | Exciting news comes from the Indramayu industrial area. PT Food Packaging Jaya or Fuling, a rapidly growing food packaging company, has achieved a proud milestone by absorbing 95 percent of the local workforce. This figure is clear evidence that investment in Indramayu can go hand in hand with community welfare. Indramayu Regent Lucky Hakim expressed his appreciation for PT Fuling's efforts. According to him, this success can serve as a role model for other companies, especially in the Krangkeng and Losarang industrial areas, to prioritize the people of Indramayu as their main workforce. “If possible, all companies in Indramayu should give priority to the people of Indramayu, especially those who live near the factory,” said Lucky Hakim through his video channel. However, Lucky reminded the community to remain cautious of false rumors in the recruitment process. He emphasized that there is a potential for irresponsible individuals to try to take advantage of the recruitment process by acting on behalf of government agencies or companies. “Don't be easily swayed by rumors. We want the recruitment process to be transparent, professional, and accountable,” he said. To ensure transparency, the Indramayu Regional Government, through the Manpower Office (Disnaker), is preparing an integrated recruitment system. In the future, Lucky encourages recruitment to be done online so that it is easier to monitor and close loopholes for illegal recruitment. With a digital system, data on job seekers and accepted workers will be better managed, minimizing duplicate data and creating a cleaner recruitment mechanism. Furthermore, Lucky Hakim emphasized that the local government will continue to open its doors to investors by providing easy licensing. However, he stressed that investment must be sustainable and bring direct benefits to the community. “Healthy investment will create broad employment opportunities while revitalizing the SME sector around industrial areas,” he said. According to Lucky, PT Fuling's success in absorbing local labor is proof that synergy between the government, companies, and the community can create a friendly investment climate while strengthening the regional economy. At the end of his statement, Lucky encouraged the community to be optimistic and support regional development. "Don't be pessimistic, don't think negatively. We must be optimistic. God willing, we can slowly build Indramayu to be better. The important thing is for the community to be united and harmonious," he concluded. With 95 percent of PT Fuling's workers being local, Indramayu is now increasingly solidifying its position as an investment-friendly district and a new economic growth center in West Java. [SOURCE]

Bisnis.com, BANDUNG-- The agricultural sector is one of the major potentials of Sumedang Regency. This is evidenced by the inclusion of the Circular Economy-Based Organic Agriculture Integration project in the top 10 priority investment projects of the West Java Investment Challenge (WJIC) 2025. Sumedang Regent Dony Ahmad Munir acknowledged that his region has great potential in this sector. Therefore, this sector continues to be strengthened to improve the welfare of its people, the majority of whom earn their livelihood within this ecosystem. “Sumedang is rich in food products, and the majority of its people work as farmers,” he said. Dony said that agricultural products from Sumedang are already well-known nationally. These include rice, Cilembu sweet potatoes, gedong gincu mangoes, and tobacco, which grows abundantly in the area known as Kota Tahu. According to him, this also presents an investment opportunity to maximize this potential. Of course, with the increase in this investment sector, there will be a direct correlation with the community's involvement in these economic activities. He acknowledged that despite its great potential, farmers must understand the integrated agricultural system. This way, in addition to quality, quantity can also be achieved. “The challenge is the sustainability of the supply of superior products from Sumedang, so there must be simultaneous production circulation so that demand can continue to be met,” he explained. He gave an example of the gedong gincu mango, a superior product of farmers from Buahdua, Ujungjaya to Tomo, which is in high demand by foreign consumers. However, the planting and warehousing cycles must be modernized so that production volume can be optimized. In addition, there is also Cilembu sweet potato, which has entered many global markets. However, in terms of stock availability, it must be increased again. The Sumedang Regency Government, he added, has been regularly allocating budgets to support the agricultural sector. This includes providing agricultural machinery, revitalizing irrigation systems, and improving farm roads. “The hope is that Sumedang can fully support the central government's food self-sufficiency program,” he emphasized.

TRIBUNJABAR.ID, CIREBON – The queue of investments coming into Cirebon Regency continues to grow, drawing serious attention from the local government. The amount of funds ready to be spent reaches approximately IDR 1.7 trillion. Unfortunately, this large capital inflow has not yet proceeded smoothly due to administrative issues, particularly concerning environmental documents. The Cirebon Regency Government (Pemkab) has not stood still. Through the Investment and One-Stop Integrated Service Office (DPMPTSP), assistance steps have been taken so that the investment process does not stop halfway. At least 11 investors are now being facilitated to make it easier to manage business permits. Hilmi Rivai, Head of DPMPTSP Cirebon Regency, emphasized that the main problem lies in the completeness of the Environmental Management Effort (UPL) documents. “Many business license applications cannot be processed because the documents are incomplete or do not correspond to field conditions,” Hilmi said on Saturday (September 6, 2025). He explained that a common obstacle is reports that are merely copies from general templates. As a result, the contents of the documents do not match the facts at the project location. “Sometimes the contents include invalid data, incorrect location maps, and unclear waste management plans,” he said. To overcome this problem, the local government has opened more intensive consultation opportunities and encouraged investors to use the services of highly credible environmental consultants. The hope is that the UPL documents prepared fully comply with the regulations. “Therefore, there must be actual data, accurate maps, and technical plans for waste management.”“We only facilitate; the decision remains with the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLH),” he explained. Hilmi added that the licensing process cannot be fast because it must go through thorough scrutiny. Many aspects are assessed, including groundwater use, waste disposal systems, and potential impacts felt by the surrounding community. “The principle is that industry should not be established first with problems arising later,” he said. Despite the challenges, Cirebon Regency Government continues to strive to maintain balance. On one side, efforts to accelerate permits are ongoing, but on the other hand, environmental aspects must not be ignored. “Investment must come in, but the environment must still be protected. If business actors comply and prepare the documents correctly, actually the process does not take long,” he said. So far, investment realization in Cirebon Regency up to August 2025 has reached IDR 2.25 trillion. This figure is equivalent to 65 percent of the annual target set at IDR 3.2 trillion. From the investment queue of IDR 1.7 trillion, it is estimated that it can absorb up to 10,000 new workers. Hilmi assured that the local government does not want to lose investor interest merely because of technical problems. However, rules and standards must still be strictly enforced. [SOURCE]

Cirebon (ANTARA) – The Government of Cirebon Regency, West Java, is facilitating 11 investors to manage environmental permits because issuing these documents is a key requirement for industrial licensing, enabling investment activities to proceed. Hilmi Rivai, Head of the Investment and One-Stop Integrated Service Office (DPMPTSP) of Cirebon Regency, said the office assists investors so that they are not hindered in the licensing process, particularly in preparing environmental management effort documents (UPL). “Many business license applications cannot be processed because the submitted documents are incomplete or do not match field conditions,” said Hilmi Rivai in Cirebon on Thursday. The office noted that the investment value currently queued in Cirebon is around IDR 1.7 trillion, with a planned workforce absorption of 10,000 people. He mentioned that many UPL documents submitted do not meet standards because the report compilers merely copy from general templates without adjusting to actual field conditions. According to him, such documents generally contain invalid data, incorrect location maps, and unclear waste management plans. On this basis, the regional government through the DPMPTSP of Cirebon Regency assists investors in managing these documents. “There must be actual data, accurate maps, and technical plans for waste management,” he explained. He noted that the environmental permit process is relatively long because it requires a detailed review at the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLH). Hilmi said that generally, the review covers groundwater use, waste disposal systems, and impacts on the surrounding community. “We only facilitate. The decision remains with KLH. The principle is that industry should not be established first and problems appear afterward,” he said. He added that DPMPTSP is currently undertaking two strategies: encouraging the use of credible environmental consultants and providing intensive consultation opportunities from the start. In addition, coordination with KLH is carried out to streamline bureaucracy considered unnecessary so that document evaluations can be faster without sacrificing verification quality. Hilmi emphasized that accelerating permits should not overlook environmental aspects. Investment must be welcomed while safeguarding the environment. He noted that actual investment realization up to August 2025 in Cirebon Regency reached IDR 2.25 trillion, or about 65 percent of the annual target of IDR 3.2 trillion. They do not want investors to leave merely because of technical issues, but the regulations must still be enforced. “If business actors comply and prepare the documents correctly, the process actually does not take long,” he said.

INILAHCIREBON.ID, – The Cirebon Regency Government, West Java, recorded an investment realization of Rp2.25 trillion by August 2025. This figure is equivalent to 65 percent of the annual target of Rp3.2 trillion. The Head of the Cirebon Regency Investment and Integrated Services Agency (DPMPTSP), Hilmi Rivai, said that this achievement was quite encouraging. However, he emphasized that there was still a lot of work to be done to actually reach the target. "The investment realization is already Rp2.25 trillion or 65 percent of the target. We are optimistic that we can reach Rp3.2 trillion by the end of the year," said Hilmi in Cirebon on Tuesday (2/9/2025). Footwear Factory Becomes Main Pillar Hilmi explained that the majority of investments are still supported by the footwear industry. Many investors, including local entrepreneurs, are investing capital through the construction of new factories and expansion of production capacity. This labor-intensive sector is considered the driving force behind investment in Cirebon Regency because it is able to absorb a large workforce. “The labor-intensive industry is still showing a positive trend. Investors see Cirebon as quite potential,” said Hilmi. Encouraging Quality Investment Furthermore, Hilmi emphasized the importance of a long-term strategy so that investment does not only pursue quantity but also quality. The local government, he said, is committed to creating a business climate that is friendly to investment while providing tangible benefits to the community. “Without fundamental reforms, the realization of investment will only be a statistical achievement that does not touch the welfare of the community,” he said. Accelerating Services and Digitalization To support this, the Cirebon Regional Government has accelerated licensing services with a digital system. Investors also receive assistance from the planning stage until the permit is completed. In addition to the footwear industry, the local government has begun to expand the promotion of other sectors such as tourism, modern agriculture, and the creative industry. “We want the investments that come in to not only be large in terms of numbers, but also sustainable and have an impact on the community,” said Hilmi.

PR SUBANG - Subang Regent Reynaldy Putra Andita believes that Subang Regency now has all the necessary instruments to become an attractive industrial center for global investors. One of the main factors is the existence of Patimban Port, which is considered the ideal complement to support the era of industrialization in Subang. “Subang is currently in a transition zone. With the presence of Patimban Port, industrial exports and imports will be easier, making Subang one of the main destinations for investors,” said the Regent during a working visit to the Class II Patimban Port Authority (KSOP) on Friday (8/29/25). According to Reynaldy, not many regions have a strategic combination like Subang, with a port, industrial area, and well-preserved agricultural potential. This condition provides a strong foundation for creating a conducive investment climate. He emphasized that the presence of large investments, such as two global electric car factories, BYD and Vinfast, will be the main drivers of economic growth. “We are focusing on preparing the Patimban Port infrastructure. We must be ready to support this industrial transition,” he stated. The Subang Regent also assured that the presence of investors will bring direct benefits to the community, particularly through job creation. Therefore, he invited all elements of society to fully support this transformation process. “For the people of Subang Regency, let us work together to ensure that it is not easy for Subang Regency to have a port and extraordinary industries,” he said. “How our workforce will be absorbed must be our benchmark,” he added. Reynaldy added that the Subang Regency Government is ready to provide certainty and full support to investors. “We fully support and assist every stage (of investment) without discrimination, because in principle we welcome investors for the welfare of the people of Subang Regency,” he concluded.

TRIBUNJABAR.ID, SUBANG - Subang Regent Reynaldy Putra Andita emphasized the importance of collaboration between the central and regional governments in creating legal certainty, especially in investment and land management. He made this statement during a Coordination Meeting on Corruption Prevention through Improved Local Government Governance in Subang District. The event, initiated by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), took place at the Regent's Official Residence in Subang on Thursday (August 28, 2025). This coordination meeting aimed to monitor and evaluate governance in Subang Regency. “We hope that the arrival of the team from the central government to Subang Regency can serve as a mediator for us to find a solution,” said Reynaldy in his speech. He said that his office had deliberately held back a number of decisions related to investment so as not to cause problems in the future. “When I attended a meeting at the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency, I decided to put everything on hold. I asked the ministry to come directly to Subang and see the reality on the ground. I don't want to be known as a regent who forces industry to cause a lot of land use changes,” he said. “We don't want investments to lack a foundation. I want legal certainty so that there will be no more overlaps in the future. I also hope that the regulations issued by the central government will not change, where today everything is allowed but later it is not,” he said. Closing his remarks, he reaffirmed his commitment to better governance in Subang Regency. “We want Subang Regency to be even better in the future in terms of industry and governance. We sincerely hope that concrete coordination will be established to optimize the governance of the Subang Regency local government,” he said. The Head of the KPK Task Force, Arif Nurcahyo, said in his remarks that this agenda is part of efforts to prevent corruption through improving the government system. “Today, we want to conduct monitoring and evaluation related to regional governance, especially in Subang Regency. We hope that we can collaborate together to optimize regional governance. If governance is good, then corruption will gradually disappear as the system improves,” said Arif. Reynaldy also emphasized the importance of legal certainty in investment in Subang Regency. [SOURCE]

Secretary of the DPMPTSP of Cianjur Regency, Superi Faizal, said that the investment achievement was compiled from January to June 2025. According to him, the investment trend in Cianjur is still positive and is expected to be able to meet the remaining target in the next semester. "In the second quarter, June, the realization has reached Rp1.6 trillion from the target of Rp1.9 trillion. Quarterly, we recap the achievements from January to March in April," he told Cianjur Ekspres on Tuesday, August 19, 2025.

Compared to the previous year, the investment target for 2024 was set at Rp1.8 trillion. However, the actual realization was even higher, namely Rp2.8 trillion, resulting in a surplus. This achievement has motivated the Cianjur Regional Government to maintain this positive trend this year. Superi added that 301 Domestic Investment (PMDN) and Foreign Investment (PMA) companies were recorded as having reported investments. “To pursue the remaining 2025 target, we are intensifying our door-to-door efforts to companies and potential investors so that the realization can exceed the target as in the previous year,” he said.

PURWAKARTA ONLINE – Job prospects in Purwakarta are expected to continue to grow in line with increasing investor interest in the automotive industry, particularly electric vehicles. According to a report by property consultant Leads Property, the industrial area in Greater Jakarta will receive an additional 20 hectares of land supply in the second quarter of 2025. Although the amount is smaller than in the same period in 2024, the trend in land absorption continues to show positive signs. Industrial land absorption in this quarter increased by 89 hectares, bringing the cumulative total demand to 12,671 hectares. This high demand is driven by the electric vehicle (EV) battery sector, data centers, FMCG, and machinery and equipment manufacturing. “Indonesia is still seen as a promising investment destination in Asia. This is what keeps the market stable amid global pressures,” said Martin Samuel Hutapea, Associate Director of Research & Consultancy at PT Leads Property Services Indonesia. Purwakarta Becomes Target for Investors In the report, the eastern Jabodetabek area, such as Karawang, Purwakarta, and Subang, is mentioned as a new magnet for investors. The reasons are more competitive land prices and the availability of abundant local labor. The automotive industry, particularly vehicle parts and electric vehicle batteries, is predicted to be the main driver of new job creation. Chinese investment is also increasingly aggressive in this sector, followed by the booming data center sector. “A number of landowners are now eyeing Purwakarta to develop new industrial areas. The potential is huge because, in addition to its strategic location, there is a large workforce available,” explained Martin. Impact on Local Workforce The growth of this industrial area is expected to open up job opportunities for the people of Purwakarta. Labor-intensive sectors such as automotive, electronics, food and beverages, and logistics are projected to be the largest employers. Meanwhile, industrial land prices have also risen by 3.1% on a quarterly basis to IDR 3.04 million per square meter. This price increase reflects landowners' confidence, though it may not necessarily repeat every quarter. This could impact labor-intensive industries, particularly textiles, footwear, and electronics. However, with significant investment potential in the automotive sector and its supporting industries, Purwakarta is expected to remain one of West Java's key economic growth centers. [SOURCE]
