Serang, Banten (ANTARA News/Asia Pulse) - PT Uniflora is planning to invest around US$2 billion in the establishment of a cocoa processing plant in Serang district, Banten province, according to a company official.
"Hopefully, the plant will employ thousands of workers when it is operational," Serang district head Taufik Nuriman said on Wednesday.
Indonesia is the world's third biggest cocoa producer after the Ivory Coast and Ghana, producing around 400,000 tons of cocoa a year, 70 per cent of which is exported.
The processing plant is expected to contribute to the development of the country's cocoa-based industries, Nuriman said.
