Industry are Lack of Cocoa Supply: http://industri.bisnis.com/read/20170905/257/687081/industri-kekurangan-pasokan-kakao/5 September 2017 Domestic cocoa seed production has not been able to keep up with local industry demand, although Indonesia is among the world's third largest cocoa producers after Ivory Coast and Ghana.
Minister of Industry Airlangga Hartarto said, the installed capacity of all cocoa processing factories reaches 800,000 tons per year. However, the industry's utilized capacity is only 49% of the installed capacity. It happened because of a shortage of industrial raw materials, although cocoa products are one of the priority products. The shortage of raw materials is also influenced by the low level of cacao land productivity. The productivity of cocoa beans in the country amounted to 0.3 tons to 0.4 tons per hectare per year. Meanwhile, land productivity in cocoa seed producer countries reaches an average of 1 ton per hectare every year.
