Company
The name PT Perkebunan Nusantara is the name of a Perseroan Terbatas, abbreviated PT, a limited liability company under Indonesian law, which - under state ownership - is engaged in plantation cultivation. All of the large state-owned agricultural companies (Perkebunan Nusantara) in Indonesia are grouped into different departments according to their subject-matter and regional responsibilities. PTPN 9 is 90% owned by the Indonesian state through PT Perkebunan Nusantara III (Persero) Holding, and another 10% are directly owned by the state (Negara Kesatuan Republic of Indonesia). The share of PTPN III is estimated at 1.4 trillion Indonesian rupiah. [3]
Perkebunan means plantation and Nusantara is a synonym for the Indonesian archipelago or the national territory of Indonesia. PT PN 9 is to a third also co-owner of the Cepiring sugar factory (PG Tjepiring) in the Kendal district, which closed in 1997. That partially privatized sugar factory was newly reopened at the old location under the name of PT Industri Gula Nusantara (IGN), .
