PALMOILMAGAZINE, JAKARTA – In line with the Making Indonesia 4.0 roadmap, the Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin) is ramping up digital transformation within the national manufacturing sector, particularly in the palm oil downstream industry.
To support this initiative, the Directorate General of Agro Industry has developed the Sistem Informasi Produk Sawit dan Turunannya (Siprosatu) — a digital platform designed for real-time reporting of material and product mass balance.
“Siprosatu will serve as a backbone for monitoring and controlling the palm oil industry by regulators,” said Director General of Agro Industry, Putu Juli Ardika, in an official statement on Friday (June 13).

Beyond its role as a regulatory tool, Siprosatu is also intended to trace the palm oil product supply chain from upstream to end consumers, enhancing transparency and supporting accountability in state revenue from the sector. Key products to be monitored include palm cooking oil, oleofood, and biodiesel derived from CPO and RFM (Refinery, Fractionation, Modification) industries.
Putu noted that Siprosatu is designed with flexibility in mind and can be integrated with platforms operated by other ministries and agencies. One of the future plans includes integrating it with the ISPO (Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil) Information System to support sustainable palm oil certification.
Kemenperin is receiving support from PT Siemens Indonesia in the development of the platform. Siemens has provided technical training to human resources from palm oil companies, focusing on Making Indonesia 4.0 principles, digital business process transformation, and platform integration. Siemens also played a role in designing the Siprosatu platform to ensure a robust digital ecosystem — including hardware, software, technology, information, and skilled workforce.
Putu expressed confidence that this digital initiative will strengthen the performance of Indonesia’s agro-industrial sector, which remains a key contributor to the national economy. In Q1 2025, the agro industry grew by 4.69%, with investment realization reaching IDR 38.72 trillion — consisting of IDR 21.33 trillion in foreign investment and IDR 17.39 trillion in domestic investment.
The agro industry also contributed 52.17% to the non-oil and gas industrial GDP and employed 9.37 million workers. “These figures clearly show that the agro sector is a vital pillar for job creation and improving community welfare,” Putu emphasized. (P3)
