What's Happening?
Terra Drone Indonesia, a subsidiary of Terra Drone Corporation, has successfully obtained TKDN certification for its G20 agricultural drone. TKDN, administered by the Indonesian government, evaluates the proportion
of domestic components and labor in products. The certification allows Terra Drone Indonesia to participate more in government and public sector projects and enhances maintenance efficiency through easier procurement of locally sourced components. The G20 drone, equipped with a 20 kg tank, is designed for extensive farmland coverage and features advanced flight modes for stable operation in varied landscapes. Terra Drone Indonesia aims to increase the local content ratio of the G20 to 50% and expand TKDN certification to other models.
Why It's Important?
The TKDN certification is crucial for Terra Drone Indonesia as it opens up greater opportunities for involvement in government projects, which often require or prefer certified products. This move supports Indonesia's domestic industry development by strengthening local supply chains and creating employment opportunities. By increasing the proportion of locally sourced components, Terra Drone Indonesia contributes to the country's long-term industrial competitiveness. The certification also allows for reduced maintenance time and service downtime, enhancing operational efficiency and reliability in agricultural operations.
What's Next?
Terra Drone Indonesia plans to further increase the local content ratio of the G20 drone to 50% and expand TKDN certification to additional models. This strategy aims to broaden its certified product lineup and enhance competitiveness in the Indonesian market. The company will continue to expand its drone-based pesticide spraying services, contributing to the growth of Indonesia's domestic industries through sustained business development.
