TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Industry Minister Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita on Monday said that its ministry would impose firm sanctions on industries that had exploited sugar and salt industrial import permits by distributing the commodities into the domestic market. 

“We will surely not allow the commodities imported by these industries to seep into the market and eventually interrupt local farmers’ markets,” said the minister on October 5. “We will have firm sanctions on industries that have been permitted to import and misuse the commodities.”

The permit the minister refers to is the salt and sugar import permits that are granted for industries that use the commodities for their production. This regulation was passed with a limitation in mind, which is to not allow those imported commodities to be distributed into the Indonesian market. 

Moreover, the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment, Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, urged the Industry Ministry to not hesitate in imposing sanctions on industries that had violated the regulation.
