JAKARTA - Holding Perkebunan Nusantara PTPN III (Persero) as the manager of the Sei Mangkei Special Economic Zone (KEK) this year experienced a significant upward trend compared to last year because business players or potential investors began to target and invest primarily in the palm oil and rubber sectors.

President Director of Holding Perkebunan Nusantara PTPN III (Persero) M. Abdul Ghani explained during the working visit of the Minister of Investment Bahlil Lahadalia directly and the prime minister who was recently inaugurated by President Joko Widodo due to the change of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) to the Ministry of Investment, recently to the SEZ Sei Mangkei marks a new beginning for the industrial area to become a target for a much more significant investment contribution.

"With the support of the government, especially the Ministry of Investment together with existing stakeholders, the dream of the Sei Mangkei SEZ which is coveted as an investment location for priority industry players will soon be realized," said M. Abdul Ghani in his statement to reporters in Jakarta.

Ghani revealed that there are 7 well-known companies with an occupancy value of nearly 100 hectares that will enter the Sei Mangkei industrial area as the start of new investment this year considering that the previous year was affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. According to him, KEK Sei Mangkei has begun to be targeted by foreign and domestic investors because this industrial area is considered very strategic in being in an agro-based raw material center and close to the Malacca Strait, and has adequate logistical support facilities by providing integrated connectivity in the area.
