What PT Mifa Bersaudara does

PT Mifa Bersaudara ("MIFA") is an Indonesian integrated coal mining company founded in 2002 and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of PT Media Djaya Bersama (MDB) Group. The company runs an end-to-end pit-to-port operation in Aceh Barat, Aceh Province, on the northwestern tip of Sumatra, covering coal extraction, a coal crushing plant, hauling using 70-ton double trailers, an overland conveyor system, barge loading, and transhipment. The product is sub-bituminous coal characterized by low ash and sulfur content, sold to enterprise buyers — primarily international power utilities in India and the Thailand Gulf region, and regional industrial buyers in Southeast Asia — through direct B2B sales under long-term contracts whose pricing is determined by market conditions, coal quality specifications, and individual negotiations rather than publicly disclosed list prices.

MIFA's core technology is the integrated logistics chain rather than a software stack: the configuration of mine, crushing plant, overland conveyor, heavy-haul road fleet, and transhipment facility is designed to move coal efficiently from pit to ocean-going vessel, exploiting the company's geographic position closer to South Asian and western Southeast Asian ports than most other Indonesian producers. The company holds an IUP PMDN (domestic investment) mining license and is the only Aceh-based company in this category to receive the Best of the Best GMP Award from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) in 2022. It is also certified to ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and OHSAS 18001:2007 for mining and supporting activities, and has accumulated multiple ESDM mining safety (UTAMA) and environmental (PRATAMA) awards, Zero Accident recognitions, and CSR awards.

MIFA generates revenue almost entirely from coal mining and sales, with the remainder of its public profile occupied by community development programs branded under the MIFA umbrella (MIFA Smart for education, MIFA Health for healthcare, MIFA Green for environment, MIFA Culture for traditional arts, MIFA Preneur for entrepreneurship, plus One Village One Product and the Cut Nyak Dhien Business Center). Headcount is reported in the 101–250 range, the company is privately held with no public listing, and the management team includes Ricky Nelson as President Director, Slamet Haryadi as Independent Commissioner, Hadi Firmansah as Head of Mining Engineering / GM Operations (Mifa & BEL), and Azizon Nurza as Group Head of CSR, External Relations, and Corporate Communication.
