Inspired By The Ocean, Built for Future Generations
Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB) still faces a harsh reality. Statistics Indonesia (BPS) records that the poverty rate in NTB stands at 11.38% (more than 637,000 people)—higher than the national average—with coastal regions facing the greatest challenges. The core issue lies not in resource availability, but in the absence of a localized value chain and processing infrastructure. Marine and earth commodities are frequently sold raw at low prices, while fishermen and farmers remain trapped below the poverty line.
The natural wealth of Sumbawa and Dompu is indeed abundant:
Leading Solar Radiation Potential: Daily solar radiation reaches 4.8 to 5.7 kWh/m²/day, above the national average. This represents one of the best irradiation points in Indonesia with stable sunshine duration year-round, making it an ideal location for Solar Power Plants (PLTS) and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
Leading Marine Resources: The southern coast of NTB—particularly the Lakey, Dompu, and surrounding areas—faces the Indian Ocean directly, positioning it as a primary corridor for large pelagic catches such as Tuna, Skipjack, and Mackerel, as well as a rich habitat for Grouper, Shrimp, Prawn, Lobster, and Lobster Puerulus (BBL), placing NTB as the #1 potential consumer lobster hub in Indonesia. NTB's coastal waters also contribute around 10% of total national seaweed supply (Top 3–4 Indonesia) and serve as a cultivation center for South Sea Pearls (Pinctada maxima) with an export value of USD 18–25 million per year (#1 in Indonesia).
Leading Earth Commodities: The islands of Sumbawa and Dompu control 28% to 30% of total national cashew requirements (Top 3 Indonesia). In addition to cashews, this region contributes more than 200 million fresh coconuts per year (supporting Indonesia’s position as #1 globally), ranks as a Top 5 producer of Vanilla (Vanilla planifolia) yielding 35–45 tons of export-grade dry pods (gourmet grade) supporting Indonesia's position as #2 globally, contributes 45–60 tons of clean Edible Bird's Nest per year valued at IDR 450–600 billion (supporting Indonesia's position as #1 globally), and Sumbawa Forest Honey (#1 in Indonesia) produced at 120,000–150,000 liters per year, holding official Geographical Indication (GI) certification.
Grounded in these realities, PT. Terbit Dari Tenggara (Tenggara Group) was established as an integrated regional developer and sustainability-driven investment holding. Tenggara's commercial commitment is manifested through the ownership and readiness of a 30-hectare land asset in the strategic area of Lakey, Dompu, Sumbawa Island. In a region globally renowned for its surf breaks, Tenggara Group serves as an economic engine and integrated infrastructure developer that bridges high-value raw potential with clean energy and processing technology to increase added value by 200% to 450%.
