PALMOILMAGAZINE, JAKARTA – In recent developments, the General Director of the Ministry of Agriculture’s Plantation Department issued Circular Number 245/KB.410/E/03/2024, which focuses on supervising business permits based on risk for industries classified under the Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification (KBLI) 10431, including crude palm oil (CPO) industries.

In line with this, Government Regulation Number 5/2021 was enacted regarding the Implementation of Risk-Based Business Permits. The aim is to realize the provisions outlined in Chapter 12 of the Omnibus Law on Job Creation, with the goal of expediting and streamlining investment processes and business procedures for stakeholders.

“To accelerate and escalate investment and business, and ease every stakeholder, the government implements online single submission (OSS) risk based aproach (RBA). Every process to get business permit, verification, and supervision would be integrated in the system,” the circular noted, as Palmoilmagazine.com got, Wednesday (15/5/2024).

Besides delivering guidelines, the circular emphasized the obligation for the governor, regent/mayor to supervise RBA permit according to their authority.
