JAKARTA - The national downstream program has shown significant progress throughout 2025. The Ministry of Investment and Downstream/BKPM recorded the value of investment that entered specifically for the downstream sector reaching IDR 584.1 trillion, or about 30.2 percent of the total realization of national investment of IDR 1,931 trillion.
Minister of Investment and Industrialization Rosan Roeslani said this investment covers four main sectors, with mineral commodities being the largest contributor.
"Yes, indeed, the downstream in various sectors has started to run very well, and has also accelerated," said Rosan in Jakarta, Thursday, January 15.
Of the total realization of the downstream sector of IDR 584.1 trillion, IDR 373.1 trillion comes from the mineral sector, which includes nickel, copper, and bauxite commodities. Then, plantations and forestry amounted to IDR 144 trillion. Then, oil and gas amounted to IDR 60 trillion. As well as, marine and fisheries amounted to IDR 6.4 trillion.
According to Rosan, the expansion of the investment sector shows that the direction of downstreaming is now much more diversified than in the previous period. He emphasized that downstreaming is no longer centered on critical minerals.
For example, continued Rosan, in the plantation sub-sector alone, palm oil and log commodities recorded investments of around Rp62 trillion.
In addition, Rosan also said that the benefits of downstream processing are not only reflected in the value of investment, but also from its impact on job creation. The processing industry that grows in the country also requires a large number of manpower from upstream to downstream.
With a contribution of more than half a trillion rupiah, continued Rosan, downstreaming is increasingly becoming a pillar of the national industrial development strategy as well as a driving force for economic equalization in various regions.
"If we talk about downstream, there is value added that we want to capture in Indonesia. The economic impact is many times over," he concluded.
