Jakarta, Aug. 7 -- Downstream industries are attracting about 30 percent of total foreign and domestic investment in Indonesia, according to Minister of Investment and Downstreaming Rosan Perkasa Roeslani.

"While it is still dominated by minerals, especially nickel, it's a significant share," he said in a statement released on Thursday.

He noted that the ministry is actively promoting downstream development across several sectors, including plantations, palm oil, and marine resources such as seaweed.

"In essence, it's about 30 percent of all incoming investment. Beyond plantations and palm oil, which are already underway, we're also focusing on downstreaming in the marine sector, particularly seaweed," he added.
