PT PPI encourages investments to West Sulawesi

West Sulawesi Deputy Governor Maj. Gen. (ret.) Salim S. Mengga supports the efforts of PT Perusahaan Perdagangan Indonesia (PPI) in investing to West Sulawesi Province, and will facilitate the granting of permits for the company. Salim divulged in Mamuju Regency, West Sulawesi on Feb. 26, 2025, his hope that PT PPI's investment could provide great benefits for the province's economic development and improve the local community's welfare.

PT PPI is a subsidiary of food holding state-owned enterprise (SOE) Pangan ID, which is centered on PT Rajawali Nusantara Indonesia (Persero) as the parent holding SOE entity.

Salim added that West Sulawesi relies on investment in driving regional economic growth due to austerity imposed on both the province's regional budget and Indonesia's overall state budget. Meanwhile, PT PPI International Trade and Marketing Division Head Joyce Josephin said that PT PPI encourages investment to West Sulawesi to create jobs, help local economic development, and improve the local community's welfare.

Jouce said that PT PPI had held a meeting to establish cooperation with the West Sulawesi Provincial Government to get ease of investing in general and special trade for food and non-food products. She added that West Sulawesi is a developing region that gives an opportunity for PT PPI to invest in carrying out development in the foreign trade and distribution sectors.
