Gas Prices is Expensive, Fertilizer industry in Indonesia Losing Competitiveness: http://bisnis.liputan6.com/read/3130481/harga-gas-mahal-industri-pupuk-di-indonesia-kalah-saing/16 October 2017
Pupuk Indonesia Holding Companny (PIHC) stated, the fertilizer industry in Indonesia is still less competitive than some other countries in the world. President Director of PIHC Aas Asikin said, the lack of competitiveness is because the price of gas for this industry is still expensive.
The gas price is US $ 6 per MMBTU, while in other countries the price of gas for industry is only US $ 1-3 per MMBTU, whereas the cost of production is 70 percent of the price of gas. Other countries, the price of gas is down along with the decline in world oil prices. In Indonesia, world oil prices have fallen, but the decline in gas prices is not as expected. Other than that, factories in Indonesia are so old that the use of gas tend to be more extravagant. While many competitors have a new factory with a more efficient use of gas.
