I. Emerging Country: Indonesia

 

A. Geography (Terrain and Climate)

Indonesia is an archipelago of over 17,500 islands, located between the Indian and Pacific oceans. Its geography is characterized by rugged volcanic mountains, lush rainforests, and expansive coastal lowlands. The country has a tropical climate, with two main seasons: a wet season and a dry season. This climate, along with its volcanic soil, contributes to a rich biodiversity and agricultural sector, but also makes the country susceptible to natural disasters like earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. This geographical complexity impacts infrastructure development and logistics, which are key considerations for any business.
