Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB)—particularly the regions of Dompu and Bima—has long been recognized as one of Indonesia’s key corn production centers. Thanks to its dry tropical climate and suitable soil conditions, this area consistently produces millions of tons of corn annually, supporting the growing demands of the national animal feed industry.
Yet, great production alone is not enough. The bigger challenge lies in distribution—how can corn harvested from the far eastern part of Indonesia reach feed mills located in East Java and Banten, regions that serve as the heart of the country’s poultry and livestock industries?
After harvesting, corn from Dompu and Bima is typically dried in local storage facilities before being transported through ports such as Bima or Sape to Java. But the distribution journey doesn’t stop at the port—it continues overland to various feed mill centers in areas like Gresik, Pasuruan, and Serang.
This is where reliable land transport becomes crucial. Speed, accuracy, and efficiency are essential in maintaining the quality of raw materials and ensuring uninterrupted feed production. That’s why strong logistics partnerships are needed to bridge the gap between producers and the industrial sector.
PT SPIL, a leading integrated logistics provider in Indonesia, plays a vital role by offering land transport services via trucking, connecting seaports with industrial zones throughout Java. With a broad route network and a fleet of ready trucks for inter-provincial transport, corn distribution from port to feed mill is now faster, safer, and more traceable.
SPIL’s digital platform enables real-time tracking, offering full transparency and control for both commodity traders and industrial clients. This not only streamlines the delivery process but also reduces potential losses from delays or damaged goods.
In the bigger picture, distributing corn from NTB to Java is more than just a business operation—it is a critical part of Indonesia’s food security chain. By enabling efficient distribution from production regions to industrial centers, PT SPIL contributes to ensuring the availability of raw materials for animal feed—ultimately helping stabilize the prices of meat and eggs for Indonesian households.
From the cornfields of Dompu to the feed factories across Java, this long journey has become significantly more efficient thanks to modern, integrated logistics solutions. Because from Dompu, Indonesia’s food resilience begins.
