Ketapang Holding Group

Established in 2016, Jiangsu Ketapang agricultural and forestry ecological industrial construction and development Co. LTD engages in agricultural and forestry industrial park infrastructure investment, construction, management. In the same year, the company invested to set up "Indonesian Ketapang agricultural and forestry ecological industrial park co., LTD.
Ketapang,Indonesia enjoys notable advantages such as abundant rainfall,ample sunshine, wide area of arable land and cheap labor force, besides its convenient transportation, boasting a 200 kilometer distance from provincial capital Pontianak, 590 kilometers from Jakarta and only 17 kilometers away from the port, goods in and out are shipped directly to the maritime terminal by barge. There is already one domestic airport in Ketapang , and the international airport under construction will finish building in 2025.
Located in lumber-and-land resource rich virgin forest, the program is positioned as based on planting, while making the most of its natural advantages to provide quality raw materials for wood and cassava products manufacturers.The project starts from the manufacturing industry (wood industry) ,expanding to the agricultural and forestry animal husbandry (quick growth forest, cassava, palm trees, fruit trees and other planting, agricultural and forestry product processing. Poultry farming, agricultural and forestry products research and development), and related manufacturing industries (paper making, palm oil, monosodium glutamate, feed, juice, freezing, etc.) logistics transportation industry, education, culture, tourism, etc.
The park has a planned area of five square kilometers and a total investment of about $800 million,which is divided into three phases of development and construction. The planned area of the first phase is 1 square kilometer from 2016 to 2019, the second phase 2 square kilometers from 2019 to 2022 while the third phase is 2 square kilometers from 2022 to 2025.
The first phase of the industrial park, with a total investment of $130 million dollars and a construction area of 1 square kilometer, is divided into two parts: infrastructure construction and housing construction with infrastructure construction mainly includes excavation of 12.5 km river channels, 13.8 km main road , 22.6km of open channel ditch,1 km embankment pier,10 bridges, 32808 square meters of square/stadium,8 power distribution rooms,1056 square meters of tap water/sewage treatment/waste treatment plants,20000 square meters of thermal power plant, 93581 square meters of wood, cassava yard as well as 300,000 square meters of greening.
The total 271760 square meters construction area is mainly used for 4346 square meters of commercial housing, 5033 square meters of hotel, 9821 square meters of staff dormitory, 6386 square meters of maintenance workshop, 5640 square meters of production auxiliary room,3545 square meters of office building and 236990 square meters of production premises.
At present, the construction of infrastructure and housing of the industrial park have been basically completed . About 70,000 square meters of factory buildings, 5,000 square meters of hotels and 30MW coal-fired power plants started construction in August ,2018 with the construction of the factory and hotel will be done in October 2019, and the power plant scheduled to start operation in February 2020 .
By August 2018, the first phase of the industrial park has been completed, and the factory and facilities have been put into use.
The industrial park began construction in 2016 and more than 20 enterprises will move in by 2019, covering varies fields including culture, education, scientific research, energy, auxiliary materials packaging, logistics and transportation,agricultural and forestry planting, breeding, cultivating, forest products processing, agricultural products and livestock products processing. By August 2018, there were already 14 enterprises setting up business in the park with an investment of about $200 million. In the future, 8 to 10 enterprises will start operating in the park, investing about $400 million dollars.
The core enterprise, BSM, undertook the installation and debugging of production equipment in 2017, and started trial operation in 2018, now having reached its production capacity. BSM expands its production line to pellet production,which is exported to Japan and South Korea, thus achieving 100% utilization of wood. Currently, the factory has 500 local employees and 30 Chinese technicians with plans to add 20 more Chinese managerial personnel and 1,000 more Indonesian employees.
Based on the 196,000 hectares of virgin forest and planting woodland owned by the enterprises in the park and the 700,000 hectares of land resources jointly developed with the local government,the cluster area of the industrial park will extend to both ends of the wood products and cassava industry chain, ultimately encompassing trees/cassava breeding and planting, logs/cassava processing,wood products/starch products production, export sales,ancillary facility agricultural and forestry technology learning, energy power generation, bio-fuel, sewage waste treatment, logistics transportation, mechanical processing, auxiliary material production and other industries, and offering one-stop service including customs, commodity inspection, bank and commercial service, hotel, living facilities, personnel and finance.
Through integration of upstream and downstream industrial chain of agricultural and forestry products, the enterprises within the park aims for gradual expansion of improved seed cultivation, supply and large-scale planting, which will not only solve the problem of raw material supply, but also help to form a whole circular industrial chain of agricultural and forestry product research and development, seedling cultivation, agricultural and forestry planting, product production and export, thus ultimately improving the ability of overseas assets to resist risks. As a result of resource and labor cost advantages, when products are shipped back to China for sale, it reduces production cost for enterprises on the one hand and increases tax revenue for the country on the other hand.
Phase two, phase three of the project will copy the first phase of the project model, at the same time continuing to expand the planting and manufacturing scale,introducing breeding enterprises, fertilizer factories, alcohol plants, sugar refineries, seedling breeding firms, agricultural machinery repair companies, agricultural technology training centers, etc. By 2025, when the five-square-kilometer industrial park is completed construction and fully put into operation, it is expected to generate $12 billion in sales and $1.5 billion in tax revenue for the Chinese government every year. In addition, the development of agroforestry eco-tourism will also be carried out to make Ketapang a featured demonstration city integrating agroforestry planting, ecological cultivation, agroforestry processing and ecological tourism.Based on the principle of protective use of natural resources, prioritizing environmental protection and rational utilization of ecological resources, facilitating trade, we strive to build a modern agricultural, forestry,ecological tourism industry clusters harmonizing agricultural, forestry and animal husbandry cultivation with agricultural, forestry and animal husbandry production base, seasonal scientific planting, agricultural and forest product processing and ecological tourism, making Ketapang industrial park a model project of "One Belt And One Road" agricultural and forestry cooperation between China and Indonesia.
