| Location of project and description of site |
| PT KAS, Gresik, Surabaya, East Java Province. The plant occupies a portion of a larger industrial site of 75 ha located in north Gresik in a developing industrial area. The area was formerly occupied by brackish water fish ponds which are now being filled as the city expands. The land was purchased from the previous owners on a willing seller-willing buyer basis, and no residents or land users were displaced. This plant started operation in early 2003. |
|
| Anticipated development impact of the project |
The project will support the continued growth of a leading Indonesian food group to seize opportunities offered by a rapidly growing demand for processed foods. Secondary benefits from the project will likely include:
- employment generation; and
- increase in domestic competition.
The Indonesian economy will also benefit from the project through incremental taxes (income tax, import duties on equipment, import duties on imported raw materials). |
|
| IFC's expected development contribution |
| IFC has been active in Indonesia assisting reputable clients in key sectors such as agribusiness, extractive industries, infrastructure and financial sector. IFC will play a vital role in supporting an existing client for a Project that caters to the lower segments of the population. Long-term funds are still not easily available in Indonesia and given the nature of the project and the long lead times to profitability, IFC would play a key role in fulfilling this need. IFC has assisted this family owned concern in the environmental and social issues and IFC will continue to add value in this area. |
| Environmental and social issues - Category B |
| This is a category B project according to IFC's Procedure for Environmental and Social Review of Projects because a limited number of specific environmental and social impacts may result which can be avoided or mitigated by adhering to generally recognized performance standards, guidelines or design criteria. The review of this project consisted of appraising both plants and reviewing technical and environmental/social information submitted by the project sponsor. The following potential environment, health and safety and social impacts of the projects were analyzed: existing and planned management systems for quality, environment and health and safety; occupational health and safety; food safety; air emissions from steam and heat generation; sustainability and quality of potable water supply used in food manufacturing; liquid waste management; biological control of pest species; and solid waste management. |
