PT Kebon Agung

What PT Kebon Agung does

PT Kebon Agung is an Indonesian sugar manufacturer operating two vertically integrated sugarcane mills — PG Kebon Agung in Malang, East Java (approximately 6,000 tonnes of cane per day capacity) and PG Trangkil in Pati, Central Java (approximately 4,500 tth capacity) — for a combined nameplate capacity of roughly 10,500 tth. The company's core products are refined white crystalline sugar in three tiers: Gula SHS (Superiors Hoofd Suiker) in 50 kg bulk packaging via traditional sulfitation, Gula Ritel in 1 kg and 500 g retail packs, and Gula Kristal Putih (GKP) Premium in 50 kg packaging produced from June 2025 via proprietary Defaksi Remelt Karbonatasi (DRK) technology at ICUMSA below 100 IU and certified under BPOM RI PB-UMKU MD 143767000200687. Three revenue-generating by-products flow from each milling cycle: molasses (tetes tebu) sold to livestock, agricultural, fermentation, and ethanol industries; bagasse (ampas tebu), representing 35-45 percent of cane weight, used internally as boiler fuel and sold to the paper, mushroom, and construction sectors; and bagasse pellets marketed as biomass solid fuel.

Revenue is generated through direct sales to Indonesian industrial food-and-beverage buyers (GKP Premium, Gula SHS), through wholesale (grosir) markets for retail sugar (Gula Ritel), through the company's own distribution fleet, and through direct by-product sales to industrial buyers, all within the domestic Indonesian market. The company also runs an in-house sugarcane breeding programme that produced and launched the PSKA varietal series (PSKA942A in 2022 at PG Trangkil; PSKA095 and PSKA062 in 2025; eight new varieties — PSKA 071, 072, 082, 085, 086, 087, 088, 11-1, 11-2 — in May 2026), targeting yields of up to 100 tons per hectare and disease resistance as part of the national sugar self-sufficiency agenda. A 1.07 MW rooftop solar installation (PLTS) in partnership with PT Sun Energi, inaugurated September 2022, reduces production costs by approximately 30 percent.

PT Kebon Agung is a privately held limited liability company (PT) wholly owned — 99.6 percent — by Yayasan Kesejahteraan Karyawan Bank Indonesia (YKKBI), the employee welfare foundation of Bank Indonesia, with the remaining 0.4 percent held by the employee cooperative Kopkar Rosan Agung. The controlling shareholding has been in place since March 1993. The company is headquartered in Surabaya with executive offices in Jakarta; certifications in force include ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2004, SNI 01-3140.3:2010, and Halal MUI across the sugar product line. Headcount is in the 501-1,000 range and the company is led by President Director Didid Taurisianto.

Revenue model

1. Sugar Products Manufacturing and Sales: PT Kebon Agung generates primary revenue through the manufacturing and sale of refined white sugar products, including Gula Kristal Putih (GKP) Premium, Gula SHS (Superiors Hoofd Suiker), and retail sugar. These products are sold in bulk (50 kg bags for wholesale) and 1 kg retail packaging to the domestic Indonesian market. Revenue is transactional, based on product volume and quality grade.
2. Molasses (Tetes Tebu) Sales: Molasses, a liquid by-product from the sugar crystallization process that cannot be further crystallized, is sold to the livestock, agricultural, and chemical industries as animal feed, fermentation material, and industrial input.
3. Bagasse (Ampas Tebu) Sales and Energy Utilization: Bagasse, the fibrous residue from cane crushing representing 35-45% of processed cane weight, is used internally as boiler fuel for steam power generation and sold externally to the paper industry, mushroom cultivation medium, and construction sectors.
4. Sugarcane Pellet (Pellet Tebu) Sales: Derived from processed bagasse, sugarcane pellets are sold as biomass solid fuel as an alternative to fossil fuels for industrial and power generation use.
