The Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency of Indonesia issued Regulation Number 2 of 2021 to establish technical requirements for Controlled Atmosphere Storage (CAS) warehouses within the Warehouse Receipt System. The regulation defines CAS as a closed-room storage method for agricultural commodities where oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, ethylene, temperature, and humidity are controlled. It mandates specific structural, atmospheric control, facility, and equipment standards, classifying warehouses into three tiers (A, B, and C) based on the strictness of these technical and location-based criteria.
BY THE GRACE OF GOD THE ALMIGHTY,
THE HEAD OF THE COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING REGULATORY AGENCY OF THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA,
Considering: a. that in order to implement the provisions of Article 1 paragraph (6) of the Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency Regulation Number 1 of 2021 concerning Technical Requirements for Warehouses in the Warehouse Receipt System, and to meet the needs of warehouses in the Warehouse Receipt System that are suitable for the characteristics of goods that are perishable and not durable, it is necessary to regulate technical requirements regarding Controlled Atmosphere Storage (CAS) Warehouses in the Warehouse Receipt System;
b. that based on the considerations as referred to in letter a, it is necessary to establish a Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency Regulation concerning Technical Requirements for Controlled Atmosphere Storage (CAS) Warehouses in the Warehouse Receipt System;
Recalling:
DECIDES:
To establish: A COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING REGULATORY AGENCY REGULATION CONCERNING TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE STORAGE (CAS) WAREHOUSES IN THE WAREHOUSE RECEIPT SYSTEM.
Warehouses in the Warehouse Receipt System that will be used for goods requiring Controlled Atmosphere Storage (CAS) storage mechanisms must meet the technical requirements established by the Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency.
