Bali Records 448,734 UMKM in Provincial Data, 310,526 Hold NIB

Denpasar — — Bali’s Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises Office (Diskop UKM) has recorded 448,734 micro, small and medium enterprises (UMKM) across the province, according to recent statements by senior officials and local media reports.

From this total, 310,526 UMKM are reported to hold a Nomor Induk Berusaha (NIB), or Business Identification Number, and 7,198 units have obtained halal certification, according to a photo feature published by a national daily and coverage by a Denpasar-based news outlet citing Diskop UKM Bali.

The figures represent the number of businesses that are recorded in the provincial administration’s UMKM database rather than a full census of every enterprise operating on the island. According to Diskop UKM Bali documentation, “Data Keragaan UMKM” is compiled to describe the profile and development of UMKM by sector, scale and other indicators.

What the count shows

Local media reports quoting Diskop UKM Bali state that 448,734 UMKM are currently recorded in Bali’s data, with 310,526 having secured an NIB and 7,198 holding halal certificates.

The term often used by officials, terdata, refers to businesses included in the provincial UMKM data rather than all businesses active in Bali’s economy. Provincial planning and performance reports from Diskop UKM also treat the number of UMKM as an administrative indicator linked to entrepreneurship and formalisation targets.

Based on the available reports, the formalisation indicators can be summarised as follows:

• 448,734: UMKM units recorded in Bali’s UMKM data.
• 310,526: UMKM reported to have a Business Identification Number.
• 7,198: UMKM reported to have halal certification.

These figures track different aspects of formalisation. An NIB relates to business identification and registration in the national Online Single Submission system, while halal certification concerns compliance with food and product standards overseen by relevant authorities.

The reports do not clarify whether the halal-certified businesses are all within the group that already holds an NIB, nor do they specify how many recorded UMKM are currently active or their contribution to output and employment.

Policy backdrop

Officials from Diskop UKM Bali have linked the recorded UMKM numbers to programmes aimed at helping businesses “move up a class” through legalisation, mentoring and wider market access.

In recent months, provincial initiatives such as green business incubation programmes have been promoted as a way to address common UMKM challenges in Bali, including access to finance, human resources and marketing, using the recorded UMKM base as a starting point.

Separate interviews with Diskop UKM Bali officials have also highlighted efforts to expand access to government support schemes, strengthen legal status through NIB registration and connect smaller enterprises with larger industries through business matching.

Limits of the data

The UMKM count provides a reference for how many businesses have entered the provincial records and taken some steps towards formal status.

However, the available public documents and media coverage do not provide a breakdown of the 448,734 recorded units by regency or city, sector, or gender of ownership, nor do they give detailed information on turnover, survival rates or digital adoption.

For investors and policymakers, the current number is therefore most useful as a baseline indicator of the scale of Bali’s recorded UMKM sector. A more complete assessment of the business landscape would require regular updates to the UMKM database, clear definitions of which enterprises are classified as UMKM, and disaggregated data showing which of the recorded businesses are active, formalised and ready to expand.
