Mount Merapi Eruption Poses Threat in Central Indonesia, an Industrial Info Market Brief

Mount Merapi's ongoing eruption in Central Java, Indonesia, is disrupting logistics in the industrial cities of Semarang and Yogyakarta. The local government has raised its alert level to "Waspada" (caution), the second-highest level, due in part to Mount Merapi's eruptions last year from September to December. Fifteen plants are in the eruption radius, with the most impact on Manufacturing and Food & Beverage facilities.
