Geography
This metropolitan was built to support sea trade in eastern Indonesia. Following the inauguration of Makassar New Port by the President of the Republic of Indonesia on February 22, 2024, it will become one of the largest port in Indonesia after Tanjung Priok Port. The existence of Mamminasatapa also provides a role and impact on the development of the Indonesian New Capital City (IKN) as the main supplier of food because of the closest potential for agriculture and animal husbandry.[3]
