EXHIBIT III OF REGULATION OF THE MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE
NUMBER : 64/Permentan/OT.140/5/2013
DATE : May 29, 2013
MANUFACTURE OF ORGANIC FERTILIZER FOR THE ORGANIC
AGRICULTURE SYSTEM
1. Materials for Organic Fertilizer Manufacturing
a. Materials used in the manufacturing of organic fertilizer may be in
the form of organic garbage from the fields, home garbage, leaves,
agricultural waste and cattle manure, fishery waste, livestock
waste, food processing waste, waste from forest product and paper
industry as well as waste other industries which can be recycled
and other materials as included in Table 1 and Table 2;
b. A number of organic material sources can be given directly into the
soil without being composted first such as green materials of
legumes (azolla, sebandia, mukuna) and waste from mushroom
media. Some materials must be fermented first such as food
industry waste and fish/cattle processing waste. Materials other
than those mentioned above must be composted first;
c. The basic materials of organic fertilizer serve double function to
improve the soil and chemical characteristics of the soil and as
nutrient sources for plants, such as Ca, Mg, P. Additional materials
in the form of natural materials or useful microbe such as
54
rhizobium, P solvent, mychoriza and others serve the function to
improve the quality of organic fertilizer;
d. Prohibited materials for land fertilizer shall be as included in Table
3.
2. Mechanism for Organic Fertilizer Manufacturing
a. Compost
1) Decomposition Process
Decomposition is biological process of decay by microbial
decomposer or cellulolitic decomposer or lignins which may
take place through aerobic or anaerobic process. The
process of decomposition of organic materials is divided into
several stages. The initial stage or intensive decomposition
produces relatively high temperature (60-70 °C) wit hin a
relatively short time, organic materials which are easy to
decompose will be decayed and the complex bond of clay-
topsoil. The resulting product is cured compost.
2) Equipment
a) Composting place/tub in the form of wooden or
bamboo slats serving as composting divider. A
permanent composting tub made of bricks will be
better;
b) Rectangular fence-shaped wooden/bamboo pieces
with the length x width x height = 1 m x 1 m x 1.25 m
55
or bigger as adjusted to the needs and availability of
basic materials. The height and width of the compost
tub shall not be less than 1 m;
c) Sprinklers (bucket/hype);
d) Dark-colored plastic sheet to cover the compost tub to
protect it from rain;
e) Stick thermometer.
3) Composting Method
a) Piling of compost materials
(1) Materials to be composted are gathered.
Materials which are easy to decay are
separated from materials which hard to decay
such as coconut husk or coconut shell,
stick/wooden/bamboo pieces, etc.;
(2) Basic materials which are still big and long are
cut and chopped to accelerate the composting
process. Materials are piled in the compost tub
layer by layer with a height of 20-25 cm each;
(3) If inoculants decomposer us used, then the
inoculants shall be sprinkled or scattered at
each border of pile layers according to the use
instructions (4-5 times watering);
(4) Piling of basic materials in layers shall be
56
conducted until the compost reaches a height
of 1-2 m. if the basic materials used are dry, it
is necessary to water them to maintain the
moisture ((50-60%).
b) The pile of compost basic materials is covered with a
plastic sheet to maintain the moisture during the
composting process;
c) Maintenance of the pile
(1) During the composting process, the
temperature of the compost pile is observed
regularly every 3-4 days by:
(a) opening the plastic cover if necessary
(in the temperature observation
location/thermometer);
(b) making holes with a depth of 20-25cm
using a wooden stick around the pile
and then the thermometer is inserted in
the hole and kept there for 4-6 minutes;
(c) the average compost temperatures at
the five observation points is calculated;
(d) If the temperature is above 60 °C, it
means that the composting process is
quick. Such condition is caused, among
57
other things, by: (1) the compost pile is
too dense, with insufficient aeration, (2)
moisture less than 50% (too dry) or too
wet (above 65%) so as to produce bad
odor or (3) compost has been mature.
(2) Reversal of pile
(a) Compost pile reversal is needed to
maintain aeration and moisture as well
as to level composting temperature;
(b) Reversal procedure: (1) open the
covering plastic sheet and opening one
side of the compost tub (2) remove
compost pile and observe the moisture;
if too dry, add some water until the
moisture reaches 50-60%. The compost
pile which is too wet must be dried first
(3) shake the compost materials and
then pile them again as before and
cover them with a plastic sheet.
(c) Harvesting of organic/compost fertilizer
(1) If for three consecutive days the
temperature in the compost pile
decreases up to 25-30°C, the
58
moisture of 50-60% and the pile
volume decreases up to 40-60%,
then the compost is ready to
harvest;
(2) Open the plastic cover and
remove the compost pile and dry
it until the water content reaches
15-20% by way of air drying of
the compost in a place protected
from the sun;
(3) Mature compost or organic
fertilizer has the following
characteristics: odorless or
smells like soil, crumbs, blackish
brown. The compost may be put
into sacks or in a place protected
from the sun and rain;
(4) Enrichment of organic fertilizer
(a) The mature compost may
be enriched with the
addition of natural
materials such as
limestone, dolomite,
59
zeolite,
phosphate/potassium and
useful soil microbes
(rhizobium, P solvent,
growth substance
producer, mycorrhiza, anti-
pathogenic substance,
etc.);
(b) Prepare the organic
fertilizer or mature
compost in a certain
weigh, such as 50 kg;
(c) Mix a number of
compact/powder enriching
agents using the formula
of organic fertilizer
enriching agent = 1:5-10.
Scatter such formula on
the organic fertilizer
overlay and then shake it
carefully using a shovel
until it is even;
(d) If the enriching agent is in
60
the form of microbes in
liquid/solution, then it shall
be shaken more carefully
for all parts of the organic
fertilizer;
(e) Store the enriched organic
fertilizer in sacks and
incubate it for several days
to evenly mix the
materials.
b. Vermicompost
1. Vermicompost Process
Vermicompost is also called worm compost, vermices or
worm manure fertilizer, which is the final product of organic
material decomposition by certain worm species.
Vermicompost is rich with nutrients, can be used as natural
fertilizer or soil conditioner. The process of making
vermicompost is also called vermicomposting.
2. Vermicompost Equipment
a. Small Scale
1) Various boxes (containers) made of wood or
plastic and boxes or containers from styrofoam
or metal are not recommended because
61
Styrofoam can release toxic materials affecting
the worms’ environment, while metal absorbs
heat, is easy to rust and releases heavy metal
into the vermicompost;
2) The shapes of the boxes for small-scale
vermicompost consist of three types, namely:
a) Non-partitioned box/non-partitioned
space for making vermicompost.
The bed is placed on the base on which
the worms and organic materials are
kept. The bed of the next layer is placed
above the organic materials, and then
the worms will compost the organic
materials and the bed. This box type is
often used because of its small size and
because it is easy to make. However,
during compost harvesting, it is difficult
to take out the worms and compost
materials from the box.
b) Vertically-partitioned box (with vertically-
arranged squares)
The tray at the bottom is first filled with
organic materials. If the organic
62
materials are still full, then they have not
been done so that the compost cannot
be harvested yet. Thinned organic
materials indicate that the compost has
been ready to harvest. The bed of the
same time which resembles the tray
under it is set, on which new organic
materials are filled. This is intended for
some of the worms to migrate to the
upper tray layer. If some of the worms
have migrated, the compost at the lower
level can be harvested and the worms
taken along with during harvesting are
free worms which can be used for
seedlings in other composting boxes.
This box makes harvesting easier;
c) Horizontally-partitioned box (box model
with trays leaning on each other or
adjacent trays)
This is for allowing the ground worms to
migrate and find food in the next boxes.
This box is made to make the compost
harvesting process easier. The
63
horizontally partitioned box is made like
a non-partitioned box but with double
length. The box is horizontally divided
into two parts partitioned by chicken
wire. At the beginning, one side is filled
with organic materials and if the organic
materials have decreased by half, then
the other side is filled with new organic
materials. If enough number of worms
has migrated, the mature compost along
with the remaining worms can be
harvested. This box type is a bit longer
than the non-partitioned box, but it is
small enough to be placed in the house.
b. Large Scale
The making of vermicompost on a large scale
does not use boxes, but an open space. The
method is relatively easy and simple because it
is enough for organic materials as growth
media and the habitat of worms to be spread
on a place or floor with partition walls.
Subsequently, worms are added on it so that
the worms do the composting by eating such
64
organic materials.
3. How to make vermicompost
a) The decomposing ground worms are put into the
available box. A certain amount of kitchen waste
suitable for worms can be added into the box every
day or every week. At the beginning of vermicompost
making, the worms’ food in the form of kitchen
garbage is given in a maximum amount of ½ the
weight of the worms. Adult worms may be given food
according to their weight;
b) Organic materials added contain carbon and are
made like dry leaves on the forest bed which is the
natural habitat of ground worms. Organic materials
are arranged not too densely to allow for sufficient
aeration for the worms to breathe and for aerobic
decomposition process to occur;
c) Various types of organic materials can be used as
vermicompost materials including agricultural waste,
sawdust, cardboards and other decayed materials.
Avoid putting grass pieces or remains of pesticide-
sprayed plants into the composted materials. In small
scale boxes, pesticide-sprayed banana peels can kill
all the existing worms.
65
d) Maintenance of vermicompost
(1) Worms used in the composting process grow
optimally at the temperature of 12-21°C so that
the temperature of composted organic
materials must be maintained within that range.
Pheretima hupiensis worms want a
temperature of around 28°C, the cocoons
hatch at 30°C and young worms die at 32°C;
(2) Moisture and pH. If liquid forms in the box, the
liquid must be channeled. This liquid can be
used as fertilizer for plants. If the pH is too low,
lime or dolomite may be added;
(3) Aeration; In the composting process, worms
need oxygen and therefore, the box must be
made in such a way that it ensures optimum air
circulation in the compost materials. This can
be done by reversing the compost materials
regularly or making holes in the composting
box. Not enough air will lead to the anaerobic
process causing decay and foul odor.
e) Method or organic material addition
There are two methods of adding organic materials
into the box:
66
1) adding organic materials directly from the top
part to be subsequently covered with a layer of
other organic materials and the process is
repeated during every filling,
2) pocket feeding system: the upper layer of
organic materials is arranged and the food is
buried at the bottom. The food (organic
material) location is switched during each
feeding and there are often more than one
feeding boxes. Vermicomposting often
combines the aforementioned two methods.
f) The problem of foul odor is generally caused by too
much forage in the box, especially nitrogen mixed
with hydrogen which forms ammonia. To neutralize
this odor, it is necessary to add some carbon
materials. The function of carbon is to absorb nitrogen
and to form odorless mixture. Papers and dry leaves
are good carbon sources. The addition of too much
carbon will slow down the decomposition process;
g) Certain types of organic materials may attract pests
such as mice and flies if such materials contain
kitchen waste, especially meat. Such condition can be
mitigated by using a box size which can tightly cover
67
the organic materials and by using boxes made of
materials that mice do not like.

THE MAKING OF PESTICIDE
FOR THE ORGANIC AGRICULTURE SYSTEM
1. Materials
a. Main Materials
The main materials which may be used in making pesticide for
organic agriculture are all permitted materials (except for synthetic
chemical pesticide) as set out in Table 1 which, among other
things, may be made of natural mineral materials, materials from
plants or materials from biological agents. Materials used
(particularly plants) should come from organic plants. However, if
they have not been available, materials not from organic plants, but
not from genetically engineered plants.
b. Auxiliary/Additional Materials
1) Such materials are badly needed in the formulation (for
example, auxiliary materials to prevent the formula from
being damaged quickly, pH regulator, stabilizing solution to
make oil soluble in the water, carrier, etc.);
2) Such materials are not bio-degradable and not persistent like
DDT;
74
3) Such materials have adverse impacts on the environment as
well as on non-targeted organisms, including human beings;
4) Such materials have impacts on the produced final products.
If such auxiliary materials are used, their concentration must
the lowest possible concentration (not dominating the
formula).
c. Prohibited materials
Materials prohibited from being used in making pesticide for organic
agriculture shall be as set out in Table 2.
2. Facilities
Facilities for making pesticide for organic agriculture shall not be
contaminated by prohibited materials pursuant to SNI 6729:2010
concerning the Organic Food System.
3. Process
In general, the pesticide making process for organic agriculture is divided
into three ways, namely:
1. Physical/mechanical: including pressing, pulverization, incineration
and other methods not requiring any solvent or any other
chemicals;
2. Chemical: including extraction, maceration (material submersion),
fermentation and other processes usually requiring special
equipment;
75
3. Biological: including multiplication of biological agents or related to
the utilization of other living creatures.
Organic pesticide can be made by a number of methods, according to the
resources and local capacity (local wisdom) by prioritizing materials
existing around the business units as well as the methods mastered by
business units, as described in the following example:
a. Botanical Pesticide
1) Pressing
This method is applied to produce oil from plants. Plant
materials to be pressed are usually those containing liquid
such as oil, for instance neem seeds (Azadirachta indica) or
jatropha (Ricinus communis or Jathropha curcas).
2) Pulverization
This method is conducted to produce powder used to control
pests, particularly warehouse pests to protect grains,
especially those to be used as seeds, for instance pyrethrum
flower (Chrysanthemum Cinerariaefolium) being made as
powder which is very effective in controlling warehouse
pests and able to protects seeds in the place of storage.
3) Incineration
This method is applied to produce ash used for controlling
pests, particularly warehouse pests. Plants used usually
76
have a terrific smell or contains materials which may cause
irritation, such as ash resulting from the burning of citronella
(Cymbopogon nardus) which contains a high level of silica
so that it may hurt insects (particularly warehouse pests)
causing desiccation (continuous excretion of bodily liquid
until death).
4) Extraction
a) Simple extraction with water as solvent (Aquous
extraction). This method is applied to obtain pesticide
preparations which are usually used a moment after
finishing the production process because, if stored,
they will not last long, for example the extraction of
Derris eliptica roots with water to control pests.
This method may be directly applied without
maceration first, as it may be applied by maceration
for some time (1-2 days) before filtered and used.
b) Extraction with the help of solvents (chemicals) such
as alcohol, hexane, acetone, and other solvents. This
is allowed but it must be followed by the solvent
evaporation process (taking solvent from the formula),
so that only the concentrate of pesticide from plants is
left. For example, extraction of soursop seeds
(Annona muricata) or sugar apple seeds (Annona
77
squamosa).
5) Distillation
This method is applied to obtain the essential oil. Distillation
is conducted by including the materials to be distilled
(leaves, roots, tree bark, grains, etc.) into the distilling kettle
to be subsequently steamed or boiled and the steam will be
channeled through the cooling condenser so that the
condensation (from steam to water) process occurs. The oil
and water in the fluid produced by such process will be
subsequently separated. The example of this process is the
distillation of clove leaves (Syzygium aromaticum) or
citronella (Cymbopogon nardus).
b. Pesticide from Biological Agents
Several methods generally performed are:
1) Making simple preparations by stirring worms or larvae
which have been attacked by virus and then mix them with
water to be sprayed to the pests of the same species with
the expectation that such virus will be able to infect the
targeted pests;
2) Multiplying biological agents, such as Beauveria bassiana
mushroom or Mearhizium anisoplae using artificial media
such as corn or rice in which, in its application, the artificial
media which has contained mushroom is diluted with water
78
and then filtered and sprayed to the plants;
3) Formulating a form of fluid or powder, such as Bacillus
thuringiensis which have largely been sold in the market in
the form of formulas or nematodes categorized as insect
pathogen. However, it is necessary to track the conformity of
the materials used in the formula with SNI-6729:2010.
c. Natural Pesticide from Mineral and other Materials
The use of natural materials such as sulfur, the making of bordeaux
mixture and other preparations in the organic agriculture system, is
allowed if such materials are directly taken from the nature without
any initial processing. For example, the use of natural materials
such as sulfur which has been processed as an active material in
making fungicide formula is not allowed.

GUIDELINES ON THE CERTIFICATION OF ORGANIC PRODUCTS
1. Certification Requirements
a. Management requirements
Management requirements are absolutely required to ensure that
the system can run in an effective, efficient and sustainable
manner. Management requirements are universal in nature so that
they are commonly referred to as the “universal program”.
Several management requirements for the purpose of application of
organic product certification based on the normative references
above are as follows:
1) Scope
The scope of activities includes cultivation production
facilities, processing, marketing and other matters including
the types of commodities which must be stated.
2) Organization
Business units must explain the personnel responsible for
their activities, including their duties and functions.
3) Personnel
The personnel shall be responsible for developing, applying,
82
updating, revising and distributing activity documents
according to their fields.
4) Document Maintenance
Business units must maintain all documents which constitute
a part of the system, such as regulations, standards,
instructions and guides.
5) Purchase of Production Facilities
Business units must have a policy and procedures for:
a) Selection and evaluation of suppliers;
b) Selection and purchase of production facilities the use
of which affects the quality of organic products;
c) Acceptance and storage of production facilities;
d) Maintenance of records related to the purchase of
production facilities as well as actions taken to check
the conformity.
6) Complaints
Business units must have policies and procedures to settle
complaints from customers or all related parties.
Records/notes of all complaints and investigations as well as
corrective actions taken by business units must be
maintained.
7) Control of inappropriate products
Business units must have policies and procedures which
83
must be applied in the event there is any aspect of the
work/process or organic product which is not in accordance
with the procedures, standards or technical regulations as
well as customers’ requirements which have been agreed
upon. The policies and procedures must ensure that:
a) the responsibilities and authorities to manage
inappropriate work/process or products are
determined and the actions (including to stop the work
and to hold the products) are stipulated and taken if
any inappropriate work is found;
b) evaluation is conducted on non-conformity of the
work/process or products which occurs;
c) corrective actions are immediately taken
simultaneously with the decision on the work/process
or product which is rejected or inappropriate;
d) if necessary, customers are informed and the work is
cancelled and the responsibility for approval of
continuation must be stipulated.
8) Corrective actions
Business units must stipulate the policies and procedures
and also to grant appropriate authority to take corrective
actions if there is any work which is not inconformity with or
which violates the policies and procedures in the stipulated
84
system. The procedures for corrective actions must be
started with an investigation to determine the roots of the
problem.
9) Preventive actions
Potential causes of non-conformity, both technical and
management, must be identified. If preventive actions are
required, the plan for preventive action must be prepared,
applied and monitored in order to reduce the likeliness of
similar non-conformities and to benefit from conducting
improvement. The procedure of preventive actions includes
the initial stage of actions and application of control to
ensure their effectiveness.
10) Documentation and Records
Business units must maintain and update detailed records
related to the cultivation process. The records must include
the report on activity evaluation including the reports on
corrective and preventive actions.
All the records must be legible, must be kept and maintained
in a manner allowing for easy access when required.

objection/rejection issued by the first certification
agency upon the certification rejection notification.
3) Following the issuance of non-conformity notification, the
certification agency must:
a) evaluate the corrective actions of the business unit
and the supporting documents submitted by the
business unit or the written rejection. The certification
agency shall conduct another field inspection if
92
required;
(1) If the corrective actions or rejection has been
sufficient to meet the certification requirements,
then the certificate can be issued;
(2) If the corrective actions or rejection is

notice of non-conformity or notice of certification
rejection may re-submit an application at any time to
93
the certification agency. If the business unit submits a
new application to another certification agency, then
the business unit shall submit the application
documents, notice of non-conformity from the first
certification agency and the description of corrective
actions taken with supporting documents;
e) The certification agency receiving the new certification
application enclosing the notice of non-conformity or
certification rejection must treat the applicant as a
new business unit and shall start the new certification
process.
If the other certification agency has the reason that
the business unit has the intention to make a
misrepresentation or to deliberately present
operational activities not in accordance with the
requirements, the certification agency may reject the
certification without issuing any notice of non-
conformity.
e. Certification Extension
1) To continue the certification, the business unit which
has possessed the certificate must pay the annual
certification fee and submit information to the
certification agency concerning the following matters;

c) Revision at the level of correction of the
previous minor non-conformities as identified
by the certification agency and corrective
actions required for certification extension; and
d) Other information deemed necessary by the
certification agency for determining the
conformity with the standards and regulations.
2) To follow-up the aforementioned information obtained,
the certification agency must immediately conduct a
field inspection, except when it is impossible for the
certification agency to conduct an annual field
inspection to follow-up the receipt of annual revision
information, the certification agency may proceed with
95
the certification and issue the revised food production
and organic agriculture certificate based on the
information submitted and the results of the most
recent field inspection in the last 12 months, provided
that the annual inspection shall be in accordance with
the requirements implemented in the first 6 years
following the date of annual revision schedule of the
certified business unit.
