Bulog Rolls Out Rp5 Trillion Program to Build 100 Warehouses, With Rp560 Billion for IT and Automation
The state logistics agency will build 94 warehouses plus rice and corn silos across 92 regencies, after peak stocks forced it to rent 2.1 million tonnes of external capacity.
Perum Bulog is moving ahead with a roughly Rp5 trillion program to build its own storage network: 94 warehouses of 1,000–3,500 tonnes capacity spread across 92 regencies, six rice (gabah) silos and eight corn silos. The plan was confirmed at a procurement press conference on October 9 and reported by CNN Indonesia, following an earlier April announcement.
The build-out is a direct response to capacity pressure: Bulog's rice stock peaked at 5.4 million tonnes in September 2026, forcing the agency to rent about 2.1 million tonnes of external warehouse capacity. Within the program, around Rp560 billion is allocated specifically for mechanization, automation and information systems — an explicit technology budget across a multi-site footprint.
Bulog's management has stated the target is to match private-sector warehouse standards, citing Wilmar facilities as the benchmark. The agency already runs door sensors in its warehouses and a cloud-backed ERP stack, and procurement cycles for state enterprises typically run through LPSE with contractor consortia, with execution planned across 2026–2027.
