Terra Agri G20 agricultural drone
What TKDN Means for Indonesia
TKDN, or Tingkat Komponen Dalam Negeri is a policy established by Indonesia’s Ministry of Industry to encourage greater use of local materials, components, and expertise in products made in the country. This initiative supports national industry growth and innovation by promoting collaboration between global technology providers and local manufacturers.
Direct Benefits for Customers
The TKDN certification brings tangible benefits to users. Local sourcing allows faster assembly and repair, reducing downtime during critical farming periods. In the past, replacement parts often had to be imported, delaying maintenance. Now, with locally available components, Terra Agri ensures quicker service and greater operational efficiency in the field.
Empowering Local Industry
Beyond delivering value to customers, the TKDN certification also strengthens Indonesia’s local industry. Terra Drone Agri partners with domestic manufacturers and craftsmen to produce key drone components such as the canopy, hose, and tank directly in Indonesia. This collaboration not only increases the local content in every unit but also supports the growth of the nation’s manufacturing ecosystem connected to drone technology.
Blending Global and Local Expertise
As a Japan-rooted company, Terra Drone upholds high standards of quality and professionalism in every product. In Indonesia, these standards are integrated with the skills of local technicians who adapt technology to market needs. One result is the locally produced GPS mount, designed to be more durable and flexible for future upgrades.
Beyond hardware, Terra Drone Agri also invests in software development. The Terra Analytics system records detailed drone operation data, including flight paths, flow rates, and spray volumes. Accessible via a web-based platform, it provides users with comprehensive insights into drone performance, enabling more accurate assessments of spraying effectiveness in agricultural fields.
Unlocking New Opportunities in Indonesian Agriculture
The certification process began in March 2025 with documentation and supplier selection, followed by technical verification in May 2025. Through close collaboration with local partners, Terra Agri achieved the required TKDN level and completed certification for the G20 model. The certification is valid for 3 years and will be periodically renewed as the company targets a higher local content ratio, aiming for up to 50% in future drone models.
“The potential for drone adoption in Indonesia’s agriculture sector is enormous. TKDN certification opens new opportunities for us to participate in more projects while ensuring that the benefits of this technology are shared not only with farmers but also with local industries,” said Aras, Head Engineering and Development Terra Agri.
He also explained that with TKDN certification, Terra Drone Agri reaffirms its commitment to delivering efficient, modern agricultural technology while empowering local capabilities. The company believes that combining global expertise with local strengths is the key to building a strong and sustainable agricultural drone ecosystem in Indonesia.
