Bulog plans plastic sack factories as profit reaches Rp2.4 trillion
Perum Bulog, Indonesia’s state-owned food company, plans to build factories to make plastic sacks used to package rice.
Its first project is planned for Jakarta, with factories later planned on other major islands.
Bulog says it needs many sacks for its operations but does not have its own manufacturing facilities.
The plan comes as the company reports Rp2.4 trillion in profit through the end of September 2026.
Its chief executive expects profit to reach Rp3 trillion by the end of the year.
Bulog also plans to repair grain and rice processing units and invest in staff training.
The sources give no timetable for construction beyond identifying Jakarta as the pilot project.

We have been around for decades, and we are surprised we do not have a plastic sack factory, even though the need for sacks is enormous.
We will build them on the major islands one by one. The first will be here in Jakarta to make things easier.
