The Patimban Port in Subang Regency, West Java Province has been operational as a national strategic project, aiming to relieve the pressure on Tanjung Priok Port and improve national logistics efficiency. Supported by supporting infrastructure such as Kertajati Airport and highways, this port is expected to become a new economic development center outside Jakarta, driving economic growth in the Cirebon, Subang, and Majalengka areas, and promoting the shift of industrial zones from Cikarang and Karawang in Bekasi to Subang. Currently, four large enterprises have obtained industrial area operating permits in Subang Regency, namely Subang Smartpolitan (Suryacipta Group), PT Comarindo Pratama, PT Intijaya Subang Industri, and PT Taifa. They are developing industrial zones in four different areas: Cipeundeuy, Kalijati, Purwadadi, and Pagaden. These developments comply with the Industrial Law and the Government Regulation on Industrial Zones, aiming to enhance national industrial competitiveness, promote economic growth, create job opportunities, and achieve balanced development. Drawing on the experience of existing industrial zones such as Karawang, Subang may face issues related to spatial planning, human resources, environment, socio-economics, infrastructure, labor, and population, such as environmental pollution, traffic congestion, and criminal cases. The Subang Regency Government needs to take multiple measures, including cultivating high-quality and competitive human resources, strengthening MSME product development, improving regional spatial planning to prevent conversion of agricultural and plantation areas, and formulating comprehensive regulations (such as local regulations or regent decrees) to address potential problems. The Regent of Subang is committed to improving workforce quality through competency-based training to reduce unemployment (currently there are approximately 67,000 unemployed people in Subang) and ensure that the local workforce can participate in employment in industrial zones. He also pledges to protect green spaces and agricultural areas, maintain environmental balance, and safeguard Subang's status as a national food reserve area (its annual rice production averages 1.3 million tons of dry paddy).
