Need help with my writing homework on Business Plan for Introducing Erythritol in Indonesia. Write a 1750 word paper answering; Indonesia is an archipelago of 13,367 islands with a total land area of 1,907,950 square kilometers. The reforms undertaken by the Indonesian government since the 1997 economic crisis have resulted in a very conducive environment for establishing a new business. The low cost of labor in Indonesia makes setting an Erythritol production factory a very profitable enterprise. Besides, with increasing consumer awareness in Indonesia, it will also be profitable to market and sell this zero-calorie, no side-effect sugar substitute in Indonesia.

Although Indonesia is not an easy place to start a new business the Indonesian government encourages foreign investment in Indonesia. Considering the low cost of labor, it would be cheaper to setup a factory in Indonesia rather than importing Erythritol from outside. According to www.doingbusiness.org, it takes an average of 97 days and a minimum capital of IDR 20,000,000 (USD 2500) to obtain the required licenses to launch a new business in Jakarta. Another 40,000,000 (USD 5000) is needed to obtain the required permits and registrations for a warehouse. Hence the main costs would be of building the factory and buying/leasing equipment. Unfortunately, in Indonesia, this cost could be prohibitive.

Glucose can be obtained from a number of high starch crops. Since corn is a readily available crop in Indonesia and has high glucose content, it is the first choice for raw material for the production of Erythritol. The crop is mainly grown on the island of Java. So it is best to locate the factory on the island, near the raw material.

While deciding the location of the factory, we have to consider the cost of land. In the urban areas and in major cities, including Jakarta, there is limited land area and hence the price is extremely high. In fact, many cities have forbidden setting up of new factories within their municipal limits. Hence it would be better and cheaper to locate the factory in the rural area where there is plentiful of land and adequate manpower.&nbsp.
