Why downstreaming in Lampung
Lampung's primary sector is worth IDR 165.31 trillion, yet 54.4% of it is sold as unprocessed commodities. Every commodity that is not yet processed locally — coffee, cacao, corn, pepper, livestock, fisheries — is an opportunity for processing, packaging and export industries. Agricultural residues add a new biochar opportunity.
- IDR 89.99 trillion of primary commodities still unprocessed (54.4%)
- Food & beverage industry already 16.14% of GRDP, 80% local inputs
- Biochar potential from rice, corn, palm, coconut, cassava and cocoa residues
- Oil & gas and petrochemical-based Katibung estate (300 Ha)
