Wikipedia:PT Perkebunan Nusantara XI

PT Perkebunan Nusantara XI, abbreviated to PTPN XI, is an Indonesian state-owned agricultural company for the processing of sugar cane with its own factories in several locations in Central and Eastern Java.

History
The company was created in 1996 under the parent company PTPN III by merging PT Perkebunan XX (Persero) and PT Perkebunan XXIV-XXV (Persero), which in turn were formally founded in 1972 and 1975. These companies operated or operate sugar factories (Indonesian Pabrik Gula, abbreviated PG) at various locations in Central and Eastern Java and arrange processing and sales. Both PTPN XI and PTPN III are State-owned enterprises (Badan Usaha Milik Negara (BUMN)).

Little has changed in the business fields since colonial rule. The sugar mills, privately or under the direction of the Handelsvereeniging Amsterdam, active in the Dutch East Indies, or HVA for short, had been founded in large numbers since the 1850s and became Indonesian state property in 1957.

The sites operated by PTPN XI today traded as Perusahaan Negara Perkebunan, abbreviated PNP, after the HVA was finally withdrawn, which means a state company for the plantations. In the 1970s these were reorganized as PT Perkebunan, again state-owned limited company, according to Indonesian law, for the plantations.

The headquarters of PTPN XI in Surabaya, founded in 1996, is the building of the former administrative headquarters of the HVA, which was completed in 1925.

Company
The company's name PT Perkebunan Nusantara XI describes Department XI of a Perseroan Terbatas, abbreviated PT, a limited liability company under Indonesian law. PTPN XI is 90% owned by the Indonesian state through PT Perkebunan Nusantara III (Persero) Holding. Perkebunan means plantation and Nusantara is a synonym for the Indonesian archipelago or the national territory of Indonesia in Indonesian. The other 10% are directly owned by the state.

PT PN XI is one of a good two dozen state-owned companies active in the agricultural sector and the only one whose core business is almost exclusively sugar. In 2018, the company contributed around 13% to national sugar production. This amount has increased again to around 16-18% by 2020. Most of the raw materials come from small-scale plantations that local farmers grow through partnerships with the sugar factories.

National demand for sugar and rice increase enormously with the rapidly growing population. Domestic sugar production fulfills only part of the need. Due to conventional methods, decreasing number of workers and innovation backlog the business changed from white gold to losing business.

In 2018 PT PN XI sold 133,720 tons of sugar and 220,304 tons of sugar syrup. As a result of urgently needed investments in the equipment of the mills, both the absolute quantities of sugar achieved and the revenues achieved fell continuously in the course of the late 2010s. In addition to the annual report booklet, an annual sustainability report on economic, social and ecological aspects has been published since 2016.

as well as the factory PG Kanigoro - formerly PTP XX - closed in 2016 - at Madiun and the PG De Maas, closed in 1999 - formerly PTP XXIV-XXV - at Besuki. In addition to aspects of efficiency, the availability of acreage also plays an important role. For example, the remaining sugar cane that was previously processed at Kanigoro is now transported to other locations nearby owned by the company.

PG Semboro and PG Kedawung began some years ago to open the works railway to tourists and to offer museum trips (Kereta Wisata). An operational steam locomotive is kept available for each (as of 2020).

PT PN XI also owns a distillery, alcohol and spirit factory (PASA Hilirisasi Usaha) in the Lumajang district, a plastic bag factory (Pabrik Karung Plastik Rosella Baru) in the Mojokerto district, four hospitals for inpatient treatment and eight health centers for outpatient care.

The company owns its own sugar cane fields in the Bojonegoro (Padangan, PG Purwodadi Glodok) and Banyuwangi (Benculuk, PG Asembagus) districts.

With UUS Kanigoro, PTPN XI also has a strategic office (Strategic Business Unit, Indonesian translation abbreviated as UUS) for the administration of several companies that are not active in sugar cane.

On June 30, 2020, PTPN XI officially handed over the majority of the shares in the subsidiary PT. Nusantara Sebelas Medika, who operated Lavalette Hospital in Malang, Djatiroto Hospital in Lumajang District, Elizabeth Hospital in Situbondo District, and Wonolangan Hospital in Probolinggo District, to  PT. Pertamina Bina Medika . This is part of the government's effort to unify ownership of all of BUMN's hospitals.
