What Changed

Direct 1:1 match from KBLI 2020 — code and scope unchanged.

What You Need

Nationally, this line of business is fully open for 100% foreign ownership (PMA). In Bali, however, a provincial moratorium currently blocks new PMA registrations for low and medium‑low risk activities — including this one — since 13 May 2026, so foreign investors cannot yet set up a composting company here.

Who This Is For

A foreign eco‑entrepreneur wanting to turn organic waste and agricultural by‑products into a scalable, natural‑fertilizer business.

Common Questions
Can foreigners operate a organic waste compost production business in Indonesia?
Nationally yes — but NOT in Bali. KBLI 38212 (Produksi Kompos Sampah Organik) is TERBUKA (100% foreign ownership) at the national level, but in Bali it is blocked for a PT PMA under the 13 May 2026 moratorium. OSS risk at scale Besar is Rendah/Menengah-Rendah on every scope → blocked by Bali moratorium 13 May 2026 Outside Bali it is open to a PT PMA with no local partner required. (Source: Perpres 10/2021 as amended by Perpres 49/2021 — the investment-list annexes predate KBLI 2025; per-code crosswalk audit in progress.)
What license is required for KBLI 38212?
KBLI 38212 has a Rendah risk classification. Required license: NIB. Processing time: Otomatis.
What is KBLI 38212?
KBLI 38212 is the Indonesian business classification code for "Produksi Kompos Sampah Organik" (Organic Waste Compost Production). It falls under Section E of KBLI 2025, the Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification updated by BPS (Regulation 7/2025). The June 2026 KBLI 2025 transition window has closed; operators should verify the code's current OSS/NIB treatment before relying on it for licensing, reporting, or amendments.
How did KBLI 38212 change from KBLI 2020 to 2025?
KBLI 38212 was mapped from previous code 38212 (KBLI 2020). This is a direct match — the code number and scope remained the same. The June 2026 KBLI 2025 transition window has closed. If an NIB still relies on legacy KBLI 2020 mappings, treat the migration as overdue and verify/remediate the OSS record before new license applications, amendments, LKPM, import approvals, or investor/worker sponsorship.
