GOVT TO REVITALIZE SUGAR MILLS, FERTILIZER PLANTS
Jakarta, Nov 5 (ANTARA) - Industry Minister MS Hidayat on Thursday unveiled a plan to revitalize fertilizer plants and sugar mills as part of his program in the first 100 days in office.
"For sugar mills, I have coordinated with the finance minister to revitalize aging machines by replacing them with new ones," he said after a cabinet session at the presidential office.
He said many state fertilizer plants were also ready to expand their business by raising their capacity. But a shortage of gas supplies remained an obstacle.
"I will invite BP Migas (the Upstream Oil and Gas Executive Agency). We will do whatever the cabinet has decided to ensure that the two sectors run well," he said.
He said the government had set aside Rp1 trillion in funds to revitalize sugar mills' machinery.
By revitalizing their machinery, the sugar mills would be able to increase their production capacity in support of the country's food resilience, he said.***
