Indonesia Quarantine Agency Gorontalo (Gorontalo Quarantine) supports PT Trans Continent Hub Gorontalo's major investment plan in the field of cattle fattening and the construction of a Bonded Logistics Center (PLB) in Gorontalo Province.
"We will fully support this investment plan, both the construction of PLB and the cattle fattening [investment]," said Gorontalo Quarantine Head R.M. Ende Dezeanto in Gorontalo City on Mar. 16, 2025.
PLB is a key facility that functions as a place to store imported, local, and exported goods with various taxation, customs, and operational flexibility facilities accorded there. The Gorontalo PLB is expected to provide many benefits to the Gorontalo economy, including the flexibility of the storage period which could reduce the company's operational costs.
Ende explained that Gorontalo Quarantine, as part of Customs, Immigration, Quarantine Port (CIQP), has an important role in providing certification services and releasing goods in export and import activities at the Gorontalo PLB.
"We will ensure that all certification processes run smoothly and in line with applicable regulations," he said.
Ende stated that Gorontalo Quarantine is ready to facilitate animal health certification services in support of the cattle fattening plan, and it will ensure that cattle transported outside Gorontalo are healthy and free from disease.
Furthermore, Ende said that Gorontalo Quarantine will facilitate and assist PT Trans Continent Hub Gorontalo in the construction of a pen that will be another candidate for a third party-owned Animal Quarantine Installation (IKH). Ende and the Gorontalo Provincial Agriculture Office will directly review the locations that will be built as a cattle fattening pen and an IKH.
Gorontalo Governor Gusnar Ismail expressed his gratitude for the presentation of the investment plan from PT Trans Continent Hub Gorontalo.
"This investment plan comes at the right time to invest in Gorontalo Province," he said.
Gusnar assessed that the PLB development plan is very much needed to support export and import activities, especially in supporting mining activities and the development of food centers in Pohuwato Regency. Meanwhile, the cattle fattening plan is expected to help supply the need for cattle outside Gorontalo.
"We are very enthusiastic about this plan, and [we] are ready to provide full support so that the investment could run smoothly and provide optimal benefits for the people of Gorontalo," he concluded.
