Industrial Development
Out of the 19.005,1 Ha allocated for industry, only about 695,7 ha
or 12 % is presently utilized. It means that about 18.345,4 Ha is available. Some parts of the allocated land are
available under the management of area developer. They are ready to build with
adequate supporting infrastructures.

A.
Developing marginal land
Industrial
region
Out of 5.837,5 Ha, 2.250 Ha has been allocated for 19 companies,
of which 9 have operated and 111 units of factory have been built. 3.587,50 Ha
is not used yet, but representative infrastructures have been provided and

of 700 Ha, with 48 units of factories. The unused area of the region is 7.400
Ha.
The above explanation shows that the business potential of
industrial sector is still open to develop.
B.
The use of non-productive region
In the southern part of Karawang, rightly in the district of
Pangkalan, about 100 Ha is non-productive land and the land of ex HPL. Such
land is distinct with sort of its ground, texture, PH and topography which are suitable
for agriculture and plantation. The plants suitable for this area are abaca
banana and best quality fruits.
C.
The development of businesses of service and trade
Apart from the industrial activity, trade sector is worth to be
noticed where there are 727 and 17.982 large and small scale trades
respectively. Given the increasing economic and demographic growth of the
region, the development of the business of trade and service is still widely
open. This condition has boosted the people's purchasing power that indicates
market potentials for business in trade and service.
Besides the opportunity for development of investment in industrial
and trade sectors, natural resources, diversity of biological lives and supporting
infrastructure for industry entail the participation of investors to develop
the region for business to support the main economic activity i.e. Agriculture and Industry. The below-mentioned
are open for investment.
a.
Constructing Cikampek bus station
The development of infrastructures particularly transportation is
the top priority, given the strategic location of Cikampek City
(karawang) for it is the crossroad of Jakarta
– Cirebon
and Jakarta – Bandung, routes. Department of Transportation
has decided that the station planned to build in Cikampek is a type “A” station,
one that serves inter-city, inter-province (AKAP), inter-city within the
province (AKDP) public transportations, city transportation (AK) and rural
transportation (ADES).
Besides, the present Cikampek bus station is no longer suitable
and appropriate, in terms of location, quality or capacity. As such, it is a
dire need to build a standard bus station in the efforts to enhance services to
the society.
b.
Rice Stock Market
Karawang Regency is the supplier of rice at national level and it
is to date considered as the rice-barn of West Java, the area of rice-field reaches 89,596 Ha,
while the area of region each year reaches about 180.520 ha, and its average
product is about 968.506 ton
The problem faced by Karawang as the largest producer of rice is that
it did not yet maximize its potentials resulted from its abundant product of
rice. In fact, it has been utilized by other regions. This is discernable from the labels of
rice-product in other region which are originally from Karawang Regency.
Given to this and the increasing demand from the rice-trader in Karawang,
it is a dire need to build a rice stock market in big capacity which is hoped
to be able to control the basic price of padi and rice, be it local or
national.
The exact location of the centralized market of rice is planned to
be in the region of Karawang Sub-regency.
c.
Shipping Container Terminal
The issuance of Presidential Decree No. 59 on the Industrial Region
in Karawang Regency plus the burgeoning industrial growth, be it the region or
zone of industry, led to good result in export of industrial product and import
of raw material. As such, it is a dire need to build adequate supporting
infrastructures the priority of which is terminal for shipping container. Given
the present location of the region and zone of industry, the alternative
location for shipping container terminal is planned to be in the district of
Klari.
d.
The Cargo Terminal
Karawang Regency which is at the crossroad of the routes of big
cities (Bandung, Jakarta, Central Java),
soon needs the safe and comfortable infrastructures especially for the
transportation by truck which carry goods to Jakarta from east direction
(Central Java – East Java) and south direction (Bandung) which goes through the
region of Karawang, for the frequency of traffic of trucks that carry goods
from and to direction of such regions above, through the region of Karawang is
relative high (about 2000 trucks per day). The transportation of trucks cannot
all enter Jakarta
every time; they should wait for the time allowed to enter Jakarta. Some of them take a rest along the
sides of road, beginning from the region of sub-regency Jatisari to the
sub-regency of karawang.
The presence of such trucks devastates shoulders of road and may
create trouble to the traffic lines. To overcome it, it is a dire need to build
cargo terminal. This may serve as parking area for the trucks which is
completed with supporting facilities like restaurant, workshop, Musholla
and the place for rest. The alternative location planned to be the cargo terminal
lies in the region of district of Jatisari.
e.
Integrated Terminal
The Programs of development as mentioned above can be accomplished
in various places separately or concentrated in one place known as integrated
terminal. The terminal might be built in the region of Karawang, particularly
in the region of Cikampek district for it is the gate of the route to Jakarta from the eastern
part.
The possible location for the integrated terminal is at the cross
road of toll Jakarta-Cikampek-Cirebon and Jakarta-Cikampek Bandung. The planned
integrated terminal would not only serve the interests of the region but also
those of national, hence its development entails coordination with agencies
concerned at the central as well as regional level.
f.
Constructing the port for shipping containers
Along with the increased regional authority (regency), the
construction of the port in the region is a proper project. Karawang Regency
with the coast (57 km), longer than other regency that is in the north seashore
of West Java Province,
has the potential to construct the port. This long coast can be utilized as the
element to offer significant contribution for the macro economic development in
Karawang Regency.
At present, the coast is not utilized for various economic
activities. Fishbond production is not so developed. Several TPI (Tempat
Pelelangan Ikan), Fish Auction Site, are empty of the sale of fishes caught by
the fishermen. The presence big port may boost the development of economic
activities.
The establishment of the port in the region of Karawang Regency
can attract many transactions of the national or international trade that at
present occur in Jakarta
(Tanjung Priok). The advantage to be obtained is, among others, the reduction
of distance for distribution. At present, the distance covered for delivery of
goods from and to Priangan regions (Bandung
and its surroundings) can shortened. Besides, the services may be rendered for
several industries located in regions of Purwakarta, Subang dan Karawang
(PURWASUKA).
g.

as the bottled mineral water with the best quality. Those three water resources
are:

water potentials, about 50 liter/second is just used for the rural district
drinking water and PDAM of Karawang Regency, the rest about 280 liter/second
has not been used yet, either for the need of clean water or other bottled
water.

hatch of duck’s eggs
The egg of duck is a food containing high protein source. The market
demand of inside and outside Karawang is high enough. To meet the need of quality
duck’s eggs, it needs the development of duck-breeding. It also means that the

is prospective. The investment and the business-pattern expected is a group called
PIR (perusahaan inti rakyat), People's Core Business, of domestication of beef
cattle in cooperation with private companies particularly in matter of applying
capital to the bank that serves as creditor. The company serves as supplier of
cattle and little cattle. Thus, the payment of the credit is guaranteed by the

these locations are oriented to cultivate air payau especially windu
shrimp bandeng fish. The area for pond is about 18.273,293 ha.

The
Industry of doll’s accessories
The regency of Karawang has more or less 100 sorts of commodities
of small industry. District of Cikampek, for example, has small industrial hub of
doll made of clothes like dolls of Panda, Turtle, crocodile and so on. There
