PPLI Maps 2027 Cold Chain Opportunities at SIAL Food & Drinks Indonesia
Indonesia's PPLI held a session on 2027 cold chain transport opportunities at SIAL Indonesia 2026, highlighting IoT temperature tracking and regulatory reform. BKPM reported Q3 2026 PMDN concentrated in transport, warehousing, and telecom.
The Indonesian Cold Chain Logistics Players Association (PPLI) held a session titled "Opportunities and Challenges of the Cold Chain Transportation Business 2027" at SIAL Food & Drinks Indonesia 2026 in Jakarta on 10 November. PPLI Chairwoman Hesti Darmayanti highlighted IoT temperature trackers — covering door open-and-close monitoring and temperature shifts — as a key controller of cold chain integrity. She also said regulations need to be overhauled, and noted that culinary and logistics network expansion has begun reaching Kalimantan and Sulawesi, after previously being dominated by Java and Sumatra.
At the same event, Indonesia's Investment Ministry (BKPM) reported that third-quarter 2026 domestic direct investment (PMDN) was concentrated in the transportation, warehousing, and telecommunications sector. The agency cited the risk-based OSS licensing system under Government Regulation 28/2025 and the new KBLI 2025 industrial classification.
Cold chain transport covers temperature-controlled logistics for food and pharmaceutical products. As distribution networks extend beyond Indonesia's main islands, industry players have pointed to consistent temperature handling standards across routes as a key requirement for further expansion.
