The Benteng program, also known as the Benteng policy, was an Indonesian economic policy which consisted of measures to provide pribumi entrepreneurs with import licenses in order to hasten the development of an indigenous business class. The program was initiated by Industry Minister Sumitro Djojohadikusumo in 1950 and lasted up until Prime Minister Djuanda Kartawidjaja abolished it in 1957.
