During a focus group discussion held by the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kamar Dagang dan Industri Indonesia) on Monday, Ansari Bukhori, Secretary General of the Ministry of Industry, said that the prioritized industrial sectors are divided into two groups: industries to enter and compete in the ASEAN market, and industries to secure the national economy.
The nine industries to have their development prioritized to enter and compete in the ASEAN market are agricultural based products, fish and processed fish products, textiles and textile products, footwear, furniture, along with leather and leather products.
Further, food and beverages, fertilizer and petrochemicals, machinery and their related equipment, and lastly, basic metals, iron and steel.

An example of specific development strategies are the steps taken by the Government to facilitate the food and beverage industry.
For this industry specifically, the Government continues to update the Indonesian National Standard (Standar Nasional Indonesia) classification system related to foods and beverages.
The Government has also mandated food and beverage companies to implement Good Manufacturing Practices (Cara Produksi Pangan Olahan Yang Baik) and the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) system.
These companies must also facilitate their energy needs through the provision of gas, and securing their raw material supplies.
Other than that, Ansari continued, the Government has also prepared cross-sectorial steps and policies to face the 2015 AEC.
These cross-sectorial steps and policies include familiarizing the 2015 AEC to industrial stakeholders, implementing necessary safeguards and anti-dumping measures, increasing the total number of test laboratories, improve the competency of industrial human resources, drafting the Indonesian National Work Competency Standards for each industrial sector, and strengthening small and medium industries.
