DISKOMINFO INDRAMAYU – The Indramayu Regency Government continues to strive to explore investment potential that can encourage regional economic growth.

This is the main topic in today's West Java Dialogue on TVRI Jabar, with resource person Drs. Acep Suherman as Coordinator of Investment Data and Information Systems for Indramayu Regency, Wednesday (9/10/2024).

In the discussion, Acep explained that the current investment climate in Indramayu is very promising. According to Acep, last year investment was hampered because there was no official Regional Spatial Planning (RTRW). However, with the passing of Regional Regulation no. 9 In 2024, potential sectors such as agriculture and fisheries will begin to be eyed by many investors.

Indramayu has great potential in the agricultural sector, especially as a national food barn. Agricultural production in this area is recognized as superior nationally. In addition, Indramayu's fisheries sector is known as the largest fish producer in West Java, which further strengthens its attractiveness for investors.

“We welcome investors, both from within and outside the country. "We have also prepared supporting infrastructure such as toll roads which will facilitate the flow of goods in and out of Indramayu," said Acep.

Apart from that, basic needs such as water and electricity are sufficient, so it can provide comfort for investors who want to invest in Indramayu.

However, the challenge currently faced, according to Acep, is marketing regional investment potential to entrepreneurs. For this reason, the Indramayu Regency Government continues to make maximum efforts to use various promotional media to attract more investors.

Apart from that, the newly built Public Service Mall (MPP) also simplifies the licensing process, especially for MSMEs, and provides access to information regarding investment potential in Indramayu.

In supporting the development of the local workforce, the Indramayu Regency Government collaborates with the Manpower Department (Disnaker) to organize skills training programs.

The hope is that graduates of this training can be absorbed by companies in Indramayu. This step is expected to reduce the number of workers who have to look for work outside the region or even abroad.

Acep also emphasized the importance of collaboration between investors and local MSMEs. Investors are expected to partner with MSMEs to improve community welfare.

"Business actors must pay attention to the environment and surrounding communities, so that the benefits of this development can be felt by all parties," he added.
