<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Techno-economic analysis needs to be conducted in order to study the feasibility of enzyme industry development to fulfill the annually increasing demand of enzyme in Indonesia. This research aim to study the feasibility of a new plant to produce lipase enzyme from <I>Aspergillus niger</I> using agro-industrial waste as the substrates by solid state fermentation. Based on the simulation conducted, economic analysis of lipase production with the production capacity of 4290 kg/year, product price of IDR 1,061,811, and WACC of 15.10% yields IRR of 34.99%, NPV of IDR 5,520,728,137, and payback period of 2.98 years, with product price as the most sensitive parameter. Based on this result, this plant is profitable to be developed.</P>
