pharmaceutical industries as well as consumed directly. At the beginning of refined sugar can
not be produced in the country so needs industry met through imports. Until the year 1996 all
the needs of the domestic industry was met through imports of refined sugar. Sugar white
domestic production has been sufficient sugar demand in the country because entirely been
absorbed by consumption in the country is increasing from year to year.
Various efforts have been goverment to increase productivity sugar in the country to
meet the needs of the sugar and does not depend continously on sugar imports. But the reality
of the national sugar production has been not able to sufficiency in domestic sugar
consumption so that imported sugar was still needed. Sugar consumption in Indonesia is
always increasing from year to year, especially due to increasing population and dietary
changes. This requirement filled with white sugar production in country. However, due to the
increase in production insuffficient domestic the drawbacks met through import. It turns out
more and more white sugar imports increased from time to time because rise faster than
consumption increase in production. It also carries the impact of increased dependence on
imports of white sugar.
While waiting for self-sufficiency in sugar then the thought of reducing dependence
on imports of white sugar through the manufacture of sugar in the country using raw
materials of raw sugar. In international market, the price of raw sugar is cheaper than the

Refined Sugar has reached eight factories. The existence of these factories have replacing
imports of white sugar and as well as fill the void needs sugar that can not be met by mills
made from raw cane sugar. GKR production can be carried along year without depending on
sugar cane milling season thus ensuring the availability of sugar on an ongoing basis
throughtout the year. As a result, sugar prices in the country is not volatile and are not easily
tricked middlemen, especially in the run-feasts national. Another positive impact is the
growing food industry, beverage and pharmaceutical industries in the country. In addition, the
rate of increase in inflantion can be muted, or at least it can be said that sugar is no longer a

of refined sugar and increase foreign exchange savings. Yet this achievement still leaves
dependence raw sugar import raw materials. With opening up new fields of sugar cane
plantations increasing dependence on imports can be expected minimized lead to selfsufficiency national sugar production in full.
