LiuGong has successfully delivered 30 heavy equipment units to Merauke, Papua, in early December 2024. These robust machines support Indonesia’s government-led food estate program, aiming to boost domestic production in key sectors such as sugar and sugarcane—an essential element of Indonesia’s national food security strategy.

The deployment of LiuGong’s Full Line Agro-Forestry Solutions has already proven its capabilities with the delivery of 40 units during the first batch earlier this year. These include excavators, wheel loaders, rollers, graders, and tractors. With the addition of the latest 30 units, the total fleet in Merauke now stands at 70 machines.

Among the new arrivals are the Bulldozer B230 with a 240-horsepower engine and the Bulldozer B160 with a 176-horsepower engine, both tailored for high productivity in agro-forestry operations. Customized features such as blades, FOPS cabins, and specialized attachments further highlight LiuGong’s commitment to delivering solutions that meet the unique needs of large-scale agricultural projects. These machines are designed to excel in challenging terrains, making them invaluable for land clearing, soil preparation, and maintaining farmland for efficient and sustainable sugarcane cultivation.

Designed for Strength and Precision LiuGong bulldozers are engineered with advanced hydraulic systems, durable frames, and rugged undercarriages, making them ideal for agricultural projects requiring high endurance. Their primary tasks in Merauke include soil management—creating access roads, drainage systems, and fertile land necessary for high-quality sugarcane production.

Driving Economic Growth and Job Creation The deployment of LiuGong heavy equipment is expected to positively impact the local economy beyond the agricultural sector. The use of these machines in Merauke will create new job opportunities and contribute to overall economic growth. By enhancing productivity and operational efficiency, LiuGong’s equipment will help build a more competitive and sustainable local agricultural market.
